Quadrangle Cards Technique; a great use of your 6 X 6″ Designer Paper!


Check out this great template where you cut a 6 X 6" piece of Designer Paper into 4 pieces for 4 cards.  I also layered it with a 6 1/2" piece of card stock for easy borders!  Look!

I created the above cards with a sheet of the beautiful Plaid Tidings 6" DSP from the 2020 Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog.  I also used the Celebrate Sunflowers bundle and the two Daisy punches in the annual catalog.  Super easy cards! 

The colors are Mango Melody, Rich Razzleberry and Whisper White.  

Then I used a different sheet of the Plaid Tidings DSP on Facebook Live last week.  I LOVE Black & White with a pop of color so I added Magenta Madness and used the Zany Zebras stamp set seen here.  

Aren't they fun?!  I wasn't sure if I wanted to add any pink to the zebras but I ended up loving it! I colored just a bit on the zebras with the Magenta Madness Blends marker.   

If you're wondering just where this stamp set is, you can find it in the Beginner's Brochure or click here to see it online. 

Below is my template for the Designer Paper. 

Next you'll see how you can place the DSP pieces onto a piece of 6 1/2" square piece of card stock and get nice layers. 

You can see how I did it in the video below.  Remember I host 6 FB Live's a week.  Every Tuesday at 11 am CT and the 2nd & 4th Monday's at 7:30 pm.  Check them out here.   Just click on 'more' and then 'videos'. 

Tip: If you have trouble measuring things I suggest that once you have a template for both the Designer Paper and the layered card stock piece you save one to reuse over and over again.

I hope you like these cards!  Be sure to watch the video below to catch the tips & tricks on using this template. 

Here's the FB Live replay for you.  Enjoy!

  • This week’s card sketch for a quick, cute card!


    Are you a collector of pretty papers?  I've heard that many of you are!  I equate it to my fabric collecting days.  

    This card sketch idea (seen below) will help you use some of it; it's so simple!   

    I used the Double Oval punch for the greeting which unfortunately is unavailable right now; they've run out!  But it will be at the end of March.  The stamped greeting is from the Enjoy the Moment stamp set on page 59 in the Spring catalog. This pretty Grape ribbon is also unavailable; it should be back  next week. 

    I chose to use the new Butterfly Bijou designer paper; an exclusive paper not seen in any catalog.  It's available here through May 3rd or while supplies last.  It's a 48 pack of 6 X 6" papers.  I love the soft spring-like colors. 

    Measurements are:

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    • Gorgeous Grape 5 1/4" X 3 1/2"
    • Designer Paper 3 pieces at 1 1/2" X 3 7/8"

    You could use this sketch with stamped or textured card stock instead of designer paper.  I would cut a full 4 1/2" X 3 7/8" piece of card stock, stamp it and then cut it into 1 1/2" strips.

  • Dutch Door fun fold card with gift card option on tonight’s FB Live!


    Join me tonight for this week's Stamp with Me Live on Facebook.  We're making these neat fun fold cards.  It's a Dutch Door card with a gift card option.  

    I shared the measurements & supplies list (seen below) on Saturday here on my FB page so stampers could prep their items ahead of time.  This way they can stamp right along with me!  

    Has the Ice Cream Corner suite caught your eye yet?  Such cute products!  I used the Sweet Ice Cream bundle (stamps & punch) here along with the Ice Cream Corner DSP and sprinkles.  You can see it all here or on pages 48-49 of the Spring catalog. FYI; the Ice Cream punch is on low inventory. 



    I made a bunch of cards using this bundle for February's kit to go.  You can still see them and/or get the tutorial for them here. 

    I used the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set for this card too. I chose the True Love designer paper and added a cute Magenta Madness flower made with the Pierced Bloom dies seen here; I love these!  

    Here's the inside view where you can see the gift card enclosure.  Use any circle punch and adhere the upper and lower edges closed. 

    Measurements:
    Card base 4 1/4" X 5 1/2",
    Gift card piece 2 3/4" X 7" score at 3/4" & 5"
    Inside layer 4" X 5 1/4"
    DSP bottom is 2 1/2" X 4", upper vertical piece is 2 1/2" X 3 1/2"
    Vertical CS is 2 3/4" X 4 3/4"
     
    Supplies: 
    Sweet Ice Cream stamp set and both True Love & Ice Cream Corner DSP.
    Other: Ice Cream Punch, any circle punch, Pierced Bloom dies, Oval and Stitched Shape dies
