33 Cards with Doodlebug Design Christmas Town 6x6 Paper Pad

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. So today I'm using the Doodlebug Christmas Town 6x6 paper pad and the coordinating diecuts to make 33 cards! To see it all in action check out the video.

I made multiple of many designs but there are some unique cards once I only had diecuts left. Keep scrolling to see pictures of different designs and get some measurements. I used a stitched label die from Whimsy Stamps as well but if you don't have one you could easily cut a banner shape with a scissor. I used the coordinating diecuts since there were not many cut aparts that I felt like suited my needs. Also I pulled in two stamp sets for sentiments and encourage you to use whatever sentiment stamps you have on hand.

13 Cards with 6x6 Fall Paper Pad from Target Dollar Spot

Hello crafty friends! Today I have a 6x6 paper pad using a paper pad from the Target Dollar Spot. I wanted to try something a bit different and give you an option that was widely available and cheap. I know some of us are working with a limited budget but it's always fun to get new paper and then use it! I will provide all the measurements below. I picked up the fall paper pad, the glitter paper pack, and the pumpkin epoxy stickers from the dollar spot then added in a few items from my stash. We all want to get good use out of products we own but if you don't have some of the items there are many ways to substitute. Check out the video for more details and suggestions on how you can make it all work with what you have.

Note that many of the glitter circles were cut from the inside of other circles in order to maximize the two sheets of glitter paper I used and to make it easier to adhere as discussed in the video. I recommend a strong liquid glue to adhere cardstock or paper to the glitter paper.

In the video I show my binder of printed sketches from My Favorite Things which I used on all these cards. I intend to add more sketches from other sources to the binder in the future. 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 Winter Wonderland 6x6 paper pad and sticker while making 34 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 and the MFT sketch number. All MFT sketches can be downloaded/accessed at a single link here.
