Hello friends! After my previous sympathy cards 6×6 video, I really needed to use a bright and cheerful paper pad. I bought Bella Blvd’s Squeeze the Day collection last year and knew it was the perfect choice. I also picked up Bella’s Besties Freehand Graph & Dot 6×6 paper pad. It coordinates nicely with all of their collections and I thought I’d use it for the backgrounds of some of my cards.
I used my 6×6 Paper Pad Tutorial and one paper pad to make 34 cards.

Because it takes many hours to turn a 6×6 paper pad into cards, this video has been sped up 6 times. The real time recording was just under 6 hours, not including any of my planning, prep, or die cutting time. Watch the video below or click HERE to see it on YouTube.
Here is the cardstock I first pulled before starting on the cards. I always pull out way more cardstock than I ever use.

In addition to using the 6×6 paper pad, I also used 9 sheets of 8 1/2″ x 11″ and 14 sheets of 12″ x 12″ solid colored cardstock.
Cardstock colors –
Black – Recollections
Polar Ice – Darice
Turquoise – Coredinations
Green #1 – DCWV
Green #3 – DCWV
Tulip – Coredinations
Berry Sensation – Bazzill
Lava – Bazzill
Seafoam – Coredinations

Here are close up pictures of the cards I made, including sketches and measurements. For sketches that don’t include measurements, I simply figure the measurements out on my own, for what works for me. I also included some sketches by Queen & Company that were designed to work with their Foundation die sets. 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 Bella Blvd.’s Squeeze the Day 6×6 paper pad.
