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.

  • More amazing Clean & Simple swap cards by the Flowerbug’s

    I shared 4 of our Team swaps yesterday and today I'm sharing more. They're all incredible! 

    Our theme was to create cards that are 'Clean & Simple' without any designer paper.  This is NOT easy for some advanced stampers! 

    First up is Karen's card which is just her style: 

    March Karen Save

    She used the Mini corrugated 3D embossing folder seen here and linen thread.  Plus the Painted Lavender & Friends for Life die-cuts on her Basic Beige & White card.  

    Next is a stunning card made by Paula.  She used the new Thankful Garden bundle seen here.

    March Paula Save

    Her colors include Very Vanilla & Crumb Cake. She heat embossed the floral image in Gold embossing powder. The background is made with the Thankful Garden stencils included in the bundle.

  • Team Card swaps with a Clean & Simple theme

    This week I'm sharing our Team card swaps from March.  Our theme was Clean & Simple which can be a challenge for some. We also couldn't use any designer series paper! 

    First up is a stunning card made by Deloris.  

    March Deloris Save

    She masked her White card stock to sponge yellow & blue ink to create a pretty background for the floral stamp.  This flower is from the Spotlight on Nature stamp set.  Her card also has 3 layers of White – the bottom layer is textured.  Gorgeous!

    Ginny also used the Spotlight on Nature stamp set on her beautiful card:

    March Ginny Save

    She used Petunia Pop with Granny Apple green and popped up her flowers on Dimensionals.  Well done!  

    Kim is a first time swapper in our group and did a great job on her card: 

    March Kim Save

    She used the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set and the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder here.  Her colors include Fresh Freesia and Blackberry Bliss. Sweet & simple!  Good job Kim!

    Candy made this adorable card with the Resourceful Rusty stamp set.  

    March Candy Save

    Her colors include Gray Granite, Real Red, & Balmy Blue.  She trimmed off half of her card front so the circle dies & main image hang over. 

    Other products include: New Mini Corrugated embossing folder, New Textured Notes dies, Stylish Shapes and Spotlight on Nature dies. Blends markers for coloring.  Love that tail!  

    More swaps will be shared tomorrow!

  • Corner DSP pop up fun fold card with video tutorial & free project sheet

    I shared this card on last week's video and am happy to share it with you here today.  I also have a free project sheet below too. 

    It features the Lovely Garden designer paper seen online here.

    My card base is Melon Mambo with Black, White & Garden Green accents. The greeting is from the Layering Leaves stamp set and the Stylish Shapes dies. 

    I made a second version during the video (seen here) in different colors.

    The stitched die-cut I used on the DSP is from the new Textured Notes dies seen here.  I love these!  I bet they'll sell fast!

    I fussy cut extra flowers to pop up over the printed flower in the DSP.

    Here's the template for the DSP part of this card.  My generous friend Susie Wood shared this with me.

    In the photo below you can see how this card opens. The DSP measures 6" side and 7 1/4" tall and is scored at 2" from the upper and left sides.  Then fold it at an angle matching up the score lines.  Watch the video below to understand this.
