Hello crafty friends! Today I have another 6x6 Paper Pad tutorial featuring Recollections. I love using 6x6 paper pads because it is so easy to create a bunch of cards without using many extra supplies. I wanted to use one a paper pad that could be found at a big box store, in this case Michael's, because I know that some people prefer to shop there. For today's cards I used the Winter Dream 6x6 paper pad and some coordinating Lawn Fawn stamp sets from my stash. However I think you could easily sub in a set from your stash. Most of these cards will be donated to card drives like Cards for Hospitalized Kids. If you want more info on donating card please check out my Card Drive Resources page. To see it all in action check out the video.

I cut most papers in the collection with Lawn Fawn Stitched Rectangles. I use those on so many projects. It adds just a bit of detail to large panels. I made two of each card because there were two of each design in the paper collection. There were 24 sheets of paper in the collection and my goal is usually to get one card per sheet of paper which worked out because I have 24 cards today. I used some extra cardstock from my stash for mats behind my pattern paper and other elements.

Hello crafty friends! Today I am sharing a 6 card set featuring Hello Bluebird's Skating Party stamp set and Warm Wishes diecut for the Fall/Winter 2019 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. I decided to create 6 cards with the same layout but mix up the colors and images. I wanted to create a nice stack of cards because I was planning to add these to my donations to the Caring Hearts Card Drive. They've extended the deadline a bit this year in hopes of getting a few more cards, so I decided to try to make some more to contribute this week. If you want to see a short video tutorial on how I pulled these together check out my video below.
Both the card drive and blog hop have some amazing sponsors from across the crafty industry so be sure to check them out. I also have pictures of each individual card below so you can scroll through to see how I pulled all the the critters and colors together.

Hello crafty friends! Today I'm sharing the 16 cards I created with the Fabrika Decoru Cool Teens Card Kit. There are 10 sheets of double sided patterned paper so I was able to make two of each card design which is why there are only 8 photos below. I do not have specific measurements for the cards but will link you to a few sketches that inspired me. If you would like to hear more about my design process or hear some tips please check out the coordinating video below:

This last picture is just an example of how I used up the last teeny tiny bits of paper scraps to add a bit of interest to the inside of my cards. It also shows the jokes I put inside my cards for donating. If you are interested in printing some jokes to put inside your cards please check out my Card Drive Resources page for two different sets of Halloween jokes as well as jokes for a variety of other occasions.
