Hello friends! I was in the mood to turn another 6×6 paper pad into cards. This time I used Doodlebug Design’s Hoppy Easter collection along with their new coordinating stamps and icon cardstock sticker sheet. The stamp set includes lots of adorable images and plenty of sweet sentiments. I don’t color often, but the images aren’t too detailed so even I can handle coloring them. Of course, I would purchase the stamps just for the sentiments. The paper collections always include plenty of cute papers and cut aparts, so the stamps really just compliment them.
I used my 6×6 Paper Pad Tutorial and one paper pad to make 37 cards.
Because it takes many hours to use up a 6×6 paper pad, this video has been sped up 7 times. The real time recording was around 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.
In addition to using the 6×6 paper pad, I also used 9 sheets of 8 1/2″ x 11″ and 15 sheets of 12″ x 12″ solid colored cardstock.
Cardstock colors –
Boysenberry – Darice
Light purple – unknown
Turquoise – unknown
Easter Grass – Bazzill
Juicy Pear – Bazzill
Circus Peanuts – Bazzill
Light pink – unknown
Lipgloss – American Crafts
Here are close up pictures of the cards I made, including sketches and measurements. Operation Write Home and the newer Mojo Monday 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 Hoppy Easter 6×6 paper pad.

Thanks for visiting my blog today.
I appreciate your kindness and support!
Oh goodness! A whole lot of happy here! These cards are fabulous! I can't wait to dig in and watch the video. You are a marvel, Kristie!
Thanks, Jeanne! Doodlebug papers are always fun to use. I just love their new coordinating stamp sets. 🙂
I was hopping (pun intended) for a Doodlebug Easter 6×6 tutorial! They are soooo adorable!
So cute. I love Doodlebug paper.
I hadn't seen the stamps before, super cute! thanks again for sharing your cards with us
Wow. All I can say is wow. I ran across your blog when hunting up “ card sketches”. … and I have to say- I am amazed. You are just amazing. Thank you for sharing your talent and being an inspiration! I have not been much for 6×6 pads in the past- but I think I will start! So I have to ask- do you already have the insight to which sketches go well together to make the best use of your pad???
I was thinking/hoping you'd have a Doodlebug video with their new stamps!! I was super excited when I saw them–they are just as cute as their papers. Love your coordinating paper, too. This batch is great and will be sure to make the nursing home residents smile! Thank you for a fun video!!
I enjoy all your videos 🙂 thank you for putting them together so well. Have a fabulous day!
Lol! I am hoppy I was able to provide you with what you wanted. 😉
Thank you! I love Doodlebug paper as well. 🙂
Thank you! Doodlebug just released their stamp sets this month and they are all sooooo cute. I've only purchased the Easter set so far. 🙂
Thank you for your kind words, Rhonda. I really appreciate it. I'm so happy you find my blog as well. 😉
I just love using 6×6 paper pads. I rarely ever use 12 x 12 paper anymore. I do not plan out which sketches to use for each paper pad. I just start with a few sketches that look fun or I know will work well with the paper or images. Then as the paper starts to disappear, I look for sketches that will really utilize the available paper scraps. 🙂
Thank you, Jennifer! I couldn't resist buying the new DB stamps. (I've only picked up the Easter set so far. But I'm sure I'll convince myself to buy more later.) I do plan on using their new spring paper pad as well. 🙂
Thank you for taking the time to watch my videos. I really appreciate it. 🙂
Do you cut your solid cardstock down before using or do you start and go from full sheets
Hello, Jenn! When I start my 6×6 videos, I just use full sheets of cardstock and cut it as I go.
I can't even begin to tell you how much I enjoy your videos. I'm new to making cards, but your videos have inspired me. I know I can do it since your videos, even without voice-over, are perfect. I've even ordered the wonderful peel off stickers from Love From Lizi!
Thank you so much! I appreciate your kindness. Lizi's peel off stickers are simply amazing! Happy crafting! 🙂
