Hello friends! It’s time to share a new set of cards from a 6×6 paper pad. At the beginning of the year, I made a list of crafty goals for each month. One of the goals was to use up at least one paper pad every month from my stash. This could be something from last year or several years ago. As long as it isn’t one I purchased in 2020. I decided to use Echo Park’s Forward with Faith collection. It was released in 2019.
I love the beautiful colors and designs in this paper pad. There are several sheets of sentiment/image cut aparts included, but I didn’t use all of them. I choose to add in several sentiment stamps instead. Some faith based, others more general themed.
I used my 6×6 Paper Pad Tutorial and one paper pad to make 32 cards.
Because it takes many hours to turn a paper pad into cards, this video has been sped up 6 times. The real time recording was around 5 1/2 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 17 sheets of 8 1/2″ x 11″ and 8 sheets of 12″ x 12″ solid colored cardstock.
Cardstock colors –
Candy Necklace – Bazzill
Reflecting Pool – Darice
Black – Recollections
Pinks – unknown
Red – unknown
Tan – unknown
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 Echo Park’s Forward with Faith 6×6 paper pad.

Thanks for visiting my blog today.
I appreciate your kindness and support!
You picked a lovely pad to showcase today. Beautiful cards!
Awesome cards again! I hope there will be Carta Bella's Flora No. 3 6×6 video soon. 🙂
Thank you! I bought it last year and just never got around to using it. I do that a lot. Lol!
Thank you so much! I didn't purchase Carta Bella's Flora No. 3 paper pad. I decided to get Echo Park's Plant Lady collection instead. There are just so many amazing paper pads. It's hard to choose. 🙂
Another gorgeous collection of cards! So inspiring!
Thanks for your answer! It would have been great if you had made video of that pad. I remember you have made videos of Flora No 1 and 2.
I'm so curious to know how you go about choosing your sketches or what you do when you are doing your planning. Are you making choices based on how much cutting you've done to see what's left of the paper to use up or do you just pick sketches and go for it? The planning is what intrigues me. So inspiring.
