Hello crafty friends! Today I have another 6x6 Paper Pad tutorial this time featuring Michaels Reollections Say Freeze 6x6 Paper Pad. There are cut aparts in the paper pad which made for some very quick designs but I'm going to be sharing sketches and templates that will make it easy to recreate any cards you like with this or any other paper pad. With this process 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. I LOVE that when I'm done there is nothing left of the patterned paper packs. To see it all in action check out the video.

I've never done a blog post quite like this one, but I have a lot of information and resources to share and will try to be as clear as possible. When making these cards I successfully created all the cards without have any patterned paper scraps. In order to help you do the same, if you would like, I am sharing cutting templates and sketches. You can mix and match these templates and suggestions with my One Sheet Wonders to further increase the possible cards if your paper pad has more paper or if you are not a fan of one these particular designs. If you just want the sketches without the template check out the Sketches page of my blog.
Hello crafty friends! Today I have another 6x6 Paper Pad tutorial this time featuring Michaels Recollections Holiday Homestead 6x6 Paper Pad. There are cut aparts in the paper pad which made for some very easy designs. Their designs are pretty 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. Also note that this paper pad has glitter and while it doesn't shed very much (didn't notice any coming off) some organizations ask for cards without glitter. I LOVE that when I'm done there is nothing left of the patterned paper packs. 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. Keep scrolling to see pictures of different designs and get some measurements. I added in a single sentiment stamp and some red and black cardstock. Using the cardstock allowed me to get a bit more out of these papers and allowed me to make the small tags more of a focal point on the cards. Any leftovers are glued inside the cards for added decoration.
