Echo Park Celebrate Autumn – 29 cards from one 6×6 paper pad

Hello friends! It is definitely looking and feeling like fall here in the Pacific Northwest. So I decided it was time to make some fall cards using Echo Park’s Celebrate Autumn collection. I just love the pretty autumn colors with a touch of turquoise. Some of the pattern papers even have the look of burlap fabric. And there are lots of plaids, fall leaves, and adorable woodland critters in the collection.

I plan on donating most of the cards to a local charity. The woman who runs the organization loves to use my cards to write Thank You and encouraging notes. She really appreciates having a set of handmade cards ready to use. Because she mails the cards, I always try to reduce the amount of dimension to avoid paying extra postage. 

I used my 6×6 Paper Pad Tutorial and one paper pad to make 29 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 just over 4 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 2 sheets of  8 1/2″ x 11″ and 16 sheets of  12″ x 12″ solid colored cardstock.

Cardstock colors – 

Peanut Fudge – Bazzill

Aegean – Darice

Wild Honey – Coredinations

Roasted pepper – Coredinations

Orange – unknown

Here are close up 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 Echo Park’s Celebrate Autumn 6×6 paper pad.
