Hello friends! I have soooo many 6×6 paper pads I want to get through in June. Next on the list is Honey Bee Stamps Birthday Bash collection. If you are needing some bright & cheerful colors, this paper pad is perfect. There are only a couple patterns that are birthday specific. The rest could work for any card theme. I made quite a few general themed cards.
I used my 6×6 Paper Pad Tutorial and one paper pad to make 27 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 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. I list the brands and colors if I have the information. Some of my cardstock has been in my craft room for many, many years.
In addition to using the 6×6 paper pad, I also used 5 sheets of 8 1/2″ x 11″ and 12 sheets of 12″ x 12″ solid colored cardstock.
Cardstock colors –
Berry Sensation – Bazzill
Orange – Coredinations
Polar Ice – Coredinations
Typhoon – Bazzill
Heidi – Bazzill
Dark green – I believe it’s by Bazzill
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 Honey Bee Stamps Birthday Bash 6×6 paper pad.

Love your cards and sooo appreciate the sketches. So glad Jenn helped me to find you. I often run out of ideas for layering and your sketches are inspiring. Thank you. Blessings for health and safety for you and your family.
Thank you so much, Tricia! I’m glad Jenn helped you find me as well. 🙂 She is such a sweet and talented crafter. I had so much fun doing the video collaboration with her. Card sketches are wonderful for providing inspiration, even if you don’t follow them exactly. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I hope you have a lovely week!
Another great set of cards, Kristie. I really enjoy seeing some “favorite” sketches and how you stretch yourself and do new things too. Great ideas for anyone to use. Thanks so much for sharing and for all you do! 🙂
Thank you, Jeanne! This paper collection is so bright and cheerful, just what we all need right now. I hope you have a lovely week with lots of crafty time. 🙂
