Hello crafty friends! Today I have another 6x6 Paper Pad tutorial featuring Doodlebug. I am obsessed with Doodlebug 6x6 pads because it is so easy to create a bunch of cards without using many extra supplies. I think their designs are adorable and I can easily whip up a bunch of cards for card drives like Cards for Hospitalized Kids. If you want more info on donating cards or get jokes for your cards please check out my Card Drive Resources page.
In the video I show my binder of printed sketches from My Favorite Things and others which I used on some these cards. I use sketches mostly as inspiration so I'm never trying to follow them exactly or worried about measurements so they some cards look closer to the sketches than others. So today I'm using the Doodlebug Party Time 6x6 paper pad and coordinating stamp set while making 31 cards! To see it all in action check out the video.
I made 2 of many designs because this paper pad came with 2 of each sheet, but there are some unique cards. Keep scrolling to see pictures of different designs and get some measurements. I focused on only using the paper and the single stamp set so you could see just how much value you can get from a single set of supplies. My images are colored with Copics but other markers, colored pencils, or watercolor would work.
