Sometimes I just don’t have very many masculine cards in my stash. Probably because it’s so fun to make pink, sparkly girlie cards. So I decided to get to work on some masculine cards. I used Authentique’s Durable 6×6 paper pad and my 6×6 Paper Pad Tutorial to make 31 cards.

I decided to turn on the camera again while I disappeared the 6×6 paper pad. The video is sped up 10 times. The real time was just over 7 hours; not including die cutting time.

I used 12 sheets of 12″ x 12″ and 14 sheets of 8 1/2″ x 11″ solid cardstock. Here are all the leftover scraps from the paper pad.

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. Go HERE to see my video explaining how I determine card sketch measurements. All cards are made using Authentique’s Durable 6×6 paper pad.

  • I admire and drool over your post every. single. time. you post these paper pad collections of cards! I have only used up one 6×6 paper pad all for cards but you inspire me to do it more!

  • I love your paper pad videos. I'm always waiting for the next one. Keep up hype great videos. And… Thank you

  • I could watch you disappear a 6×6 pad everyday!! Love these cards and sketches…I have a paper pad I have had forever and don't know how to use it…this might help a lot. Keep disappearing those 6×6 paper pads!!!

  • Thank you, Beth! I am definitely addicted to 6×6's and making cards. I'm glad I can provide some inspiration for you.

  • Thank you Sherrie! The videos are a lot of work to make, but fun. I have plans for more in the future.

  • I love disappearing an entire pad! I have gotten through a few lately and there's nothing more satisfying than using something up completely.
    Am I right in thinking that you were using the stamp positioner to restamp the images darker? If so, that seems like a really good use for that tool. I never seem to get a great stamped image but it's so hard to line the image up again by eye.

  • I agree! It's so satisfying to completely use up a 6×6 paper. Then I don't feel so guilty when I purchase a new one. 🙂
    Yes, I bought the MISTI for that exact reason. I have some silhouette stamps and wider sentiment stamps that don't always stamp very solid. Now, I can just reink them and stamp again in the exact same spot. Perfect!

  • Love your videos. I just disappeared a 6×6 pad (Under the Sea as a matter of fact!) and made 25 cards. In truth, I have about 1/2 page left but it will be easy to match to something else. So much fun! Thank you for the inspiration.

  • Thank you, Jennifer! Awesome job on disappearing a 6×6! I love that Doodlebug collection! Or any Doodlebug collection. 🙂

  • Just discovered you, hurray, I am going to try this this weekend while my husband hunts. You make it look so easy. Thanks for sharing 11

  • Thanks for visiting my blog, Karen. I'm glad I could provide some inspiration for you. Happy crafting while your husband is away. 🙂

  • Wonderful blog, love the prescribed sketches that remove days of worry! You’re videos are fab! Thank you!
