Splendid Autumn 6×6 Designer Series Paper is a beautiful pack of paper that is perfect for Fall. Every Piece is beautiful! I designed 2 cards from one sheet of the 6×6 paper to show you how you can make the 48 sheets go farther. They are quick and easy cards too!
To start I used a piece of card stock from the suggested colors listed on the back of the pack of Designer Series Paper, DSP. For the first set of cards I used Pumpkin Pie, and I used Crushed Curry for the other set of 2 cards.
Dimensions for 2 cards
- Pumpkin Pie or Crushed Curry 4 1/2″ x 11″ x 2, 4″ x 5 1/4″ x 2
- Basic White 3 3/4″ x 5″ and 4″ x 5 1/4″
- Splendid Autumn DSP 3 3/4″ x 6″ Trim off the bottom 1″ of the 3 3/4″ side. Trim off the bottom of the 2 1/4″ side at 5 1/4″
Card 1 Instructions
- Score one piece of the 4 1/4″ x 11″ pieces at 2 3/4″ and 5 1/2″
- Fold in 1/2 and then fold back at 2 3/4″
- Stamp a greeting on the 3 4/4″ x 5″ piece of DSP.
- Adhere the 3 3/4″ x 5″ DSP piece to the 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece, and then adhere to the 2 3/4″ flap.
- Adhere the 1″ bottom piece to the bottom of the white 3 3/4″ x 5″ piece, and than adhere it to the inside of the card.
Card 2 Instructions
- Fold the 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece in 1/2.
- Stamp a greeting on the bottom right of the 5 1/4″ x 2 piece of colored card stock.
- Emboss the piece you just stamped on using Forever Plaid Embossing Folder.
- Adhere the 2 1/4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of DSP to the left side of the embossed piece.
- Adhere the embossed piece to the front of the card.
- Adhere the white piece to the inside of the card.
I made a second set of cards using Crushed Curry for the card base, and a different piece of Slendid Autumn Designer Series Paper.
Give these card designs a try! You could end of with a large stack of cards in not much time at all! Remember, don’t just make the cards, write out a note and send them out! You will make someones day!
