Welcome to Part One of my newest 6×6 Series.
It is so hard to resist buying Doodlebug Designs 6×6 paper pads. They make such cute stuff! So, I decided to use my 6×6 Paper Pad Tutorial with the Cream & Sugar collection. The paper pad has a great mix of pattern and tone-on-tone papers, which is great when doing my tutorial.
When I’m getting ready to start a 6×6 paper pad, I usually have a few sketches I plan on using. But after 3 or 4 sketches, I just take it one sketch at a time. It’s too hard to completely plan out my cards since I won’t know what size paper scraps I will have left.
I really wanted to try this sketch from Mojo Monday since I knew the fun Doodlepop stickers would work perfectly with it. Most sketch sites do not provide measurements, so I simply figure them out for an A2 size card. Go HERE to see how I figure out measurements.
I made 2 cards using this sketch.
Sketch – Mojo Monday #470
Stamp – Lil Inker Designs

Oh my! What a sweet card and cute paper pack! I will be putting that one on my wish list!
I would definitely recommend it, Heidi! It's super cute!
I'll be keeping a close eye on this series! I purchased the SSS card kit that features this paper and then bought another 6 x 6 pad because it is just so cute! Love your designs, Kristie!
Thank you, Kristi! I agree, the paper is darling! But Doodlebug paper always is. 🙂
You really do a great job taking what I would consider "difficult" sketches and turning them into great cards! And those smiling coffee beans are hilarious! So happy to have another 6×6 tutorial to watch, especially showcasing doodlebug paper!
Aw, thank you Jennifer! Sometimes I just prefer the sketches with more elements, especially for the first cards of the paper pad. I definitely have a weakness for Doodlebug papers, but I try to use other brands once in a while. There's a cute zoo themed collection from Doodlebug coming out the end of March/early April. I've already pre-ordered it!
I know–Doodlebug is amazing. I promised myself I would use the ones I have before I buy anymore. I am a little obsessed!
I make no such promises to myself. Lol!
