I just finished another Christmas 6×6 paper pad. It’s so exciting to have more Christmas cards done and it isn’t even November yet. I used the Milk & Cookies collection from Doodlebug Design. The designs are cute and fun with lots of cheerful bright colors. And I love the little bit of pink color throughout the collection. In addition to the 6×6 paper pad, I also include some of the Odds & Ends die cuts that coordinate with the paper collection. I’ve never used them before and thought it would be fun to try them out.

I used my 6×6 Paper Pad Tutorial and one paper pad to make 32 cards.

I recorded my entire process of disappearing the 6×6 paper pad. The video is sped up 7 times since the full recording time was just over 4 1/2 hours, not including any of my planning, prep, or die cutting time. Watch the video below or click HERE to see it on YouTube.

In addition to using the 6×6 paper pad, I also used 18 sheets of  8 1/2″ x 11″ and 6 sheets of  12″ x 12″ solid colored cardstock. 

Here are the pictures of the cards I made, including sketches and measurements. Operation Write Home sketches are the only ones that already provide measurements. For all the other sketches, I simply figure the measurements out on my own, for what works for me. All of my cards are A2 size. Go HERE to see my video explaining how I determine card sketch measurements. All cards are made using Doodlebug Design’s Milk & Cookies 6×6 paper pad.

  • You're amazing! All your Christmas cards are going to be finished before Thanksgiving at this rate. Such cute cards. Those cardboard extras are adorable–you might have to get another Cookies & Cream pad to use the rest of them. Do you have a method for cutting the quilt pieces or do you just run it through a lot of times with different papers? Just curious-it seems to take me a very long time to make the pieces.

  • Whew, I sure have made a lot of cards lately. I think I may be almost done with Christmas cards. I do still want to make a bunch for the local nursing home residents though. And I did buy a second Milk & Cookies 6×6 since I knew I'd never use up all those Odds & Ends die cuts on only one paper pad. I have no secrets for a more efficient way to make the quilt cards using the tiny paper scraps. I usually cut out each piece separately. But if the pieces are small, you can tape them down and sometimes fit a couple papers at one time.

  • Dear Kristie. I love your cards. I really enjoy watching your tutorials. God bless you!
