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.

    Today I have a few more beautiful card swaps from my Flowerbug's Team.  

    First is Jacki's card featuring the Forever Fern bundle.  

    July Jacki Forever Fern Save

    She used two new In Colors; Misty Moonlight with Just Jade.  The stamps are distinktive and the die-cuts in the Forever Flourishing dies are incredible!  I love the touch of vellum she added. 

    Marilyn made this pretty card using the Posted For You stamp set.  This one coordinates with the new Rectangular Postage punch. 

    July Jacki Forever Fern Save

    Her colors are Misty Moonlight with Seaside Spray and a touch of Old Olive.  She colored the images in with Blends markers. The greeting is from the Forever Fern stamp set. 

    Next is Karen's card. She used the Flowers for Every Season designer paper and it is the star of the card. 

    July Jacki Forever Fern Save

    The greeting is from the Celebrate Sunflowers set and that neat scalloped die-cut is from the Tasteful Labels dies.
