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!

  • Look at these 2 beautiful cards with the Autumn Toile Designer paper


    These pretty fall themed cards were made by my talented Flowerbug’s for our September Autumn themed card swap. They both feature the gorgeous Autumn Toile designer series paper from the 2025 Holiday catalog.

    This first card was made by Lori and it’s a fun fold card.

    Her colors include Pecan Pie, Early Espresso and Vanilla. The stamps are from The Right Words and More Messages sets. Gems are Streaked Dots and the metallic paper for that ‘tree’ die-cut is the Earthen Toned Metallic Paper. Can you see that pretty gold hoop around the tree? Wow!

    Here’s the inside view. The tree and deer dies are from the Autumn Trees dies.

    Measurements are:
    – Card base 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ scored at 3 1/4″ & 5 1/4″.
    – DSP on left is 3″ X 5 1/4″, DSP in the center is 1 7/8″ X 5 1/4″
    – Vanilla on the right inside is 3″ X 5 1/4″
    – largest circle is3 7/8″, DSP tree circle is 3 1/4″, Vanilla circle is 3 1/2″


    Next is a great card made by Ginny who also used the same exact sheet of paper in the Autumn Toile DSP pack.

    Her colors are Early Espresso with Very Vanilla. She stamped the greeting from the Amber Autumn bundle on the oval and added leaves from the Gathering Moments stamp set as well.

    Measurements:
    – card base 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ score at 4 1/4″
    – Vanilla 4″ X 5 1/4″
    – Early Espresso 3 1/2″ X 4 3/4″
    – DSP 3 1/4″ X 4 1/2″

    You can see this beautiful autumn paper here. I can see this going out of stock soon. It is one of my top selling products so far in September.

  • Another cute card with the Happy Place stamp set with free project sheet!


    I shared one card yesterday and here’s one more. Both are fun ways to add color to this neat stamp.

    You can see this neat stamp set here. I love it and see lots of possibilities; especially for scrapbooking!

    I chose the Full of Life designer paper for my background here; adding texture with the Waves 3D embossing folder. My colors include Pool Party, Black with Peach & Melon Mambo. I colored the large image in with Watercolor Pencils which I hadn’t used for a long time!

    I decided to try a different blue for the left card above – Cloud Cover. The right is Pool Party. Which do you prefer?

    I have a free project sheet for you and a video tutorial as well. Click Happy Place with Full of Life DSP on this link for the project sheet you can print or download. I suggest you save these project sheets in a file on your computer for card ideas.

    The video is below: It includes more ideas for this fun stamp set too!
