Hello friends! After receiving several requests for more 6×6 videos, I decided it was time to turn one into a set of cards. If only I had more crafty time each day.
I chose Great Outdoors by Honey Bee Stamps. They just recently started making 6×6 paper pads and I thought I would try one. It includes 24 sheets of double sided paper, 2 of each design. The paper is a nice weight and I love the earthy colors in this collection.
I used my 6×6 Paper Pad Tutorial and one paper pad to make 36 cards.
Because it takes many hours to turn a 6×6 paper pad into cards, this video has been sped up 7 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.
In addition to using the 6×6 paper pad, I also used 8 sheets of 8 1/2″ x 11″ and 12 sheets of 12″ x 12″ solid colored cardstock.
Cardstock colors –
Black – Recollections
Valentia – Coredinations
Java – Bazzill
Deep Navy – Darice
Greens – unknown
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 Honey Bee Stamps Great Outdoors 6×6 paper pad.

Thanks for visiting my blog today.
I appreciate your kindness and support!
Gorgeous colours in these papers with such a great masculine feel. Love your use of the peel off stickers on the green card to replace the feel of the paper strips in the sketch. I like a couple of the newer sketches you have used this time too. Thanks for continually sharing your designs.
What a great set of cards, Kristie! That looks like a great new paper pad and I really like the masculine feel of it. I need to start making more masculine cards. The new to me sketches look like a lot of fun, too. Thanks for sharing!
Amazing work and love this collection. You always do an amazing job and love watching your videos. Thank YOU so much for sharing.
Thank you, Melissa! It's always fun using a more masculine looking paper collection. (Even if I do love pink.) I'm completely addicted to using peel off stickers, so I'm always happy to add those to my cards. 🙂
Thank you, Jeanne! It's so hard to find masculine paper collections that aren't specifically for little boys. I really like the new Honey Bee Stamps 6×6's and will use them again. 🙂
Aw, thank you! I really enjoyed using this paper collection. 🙂
I really like this paper pad –the navy, oranges and light green in graphic patterns were perfect for your sentiment-focused cards. The specialty paper is amazing–you did such a great job at pairing it with the paper pad's choices. And good sketches. Faves this time: MjM 519, OWH 154 with the embossed specialty paper, washi tape and peel-offs–especially the ones with white/silver and the light green.
Thanks, Jennifer! I really enjoyed this paper collection. It's so nice finding a 6×6 that works well for masculine and feminine cards. The specialty cardstock and peel offs are fun to include. 🙂
So glad you are doing the 6"x 6" paper pads again, love them.
These masculine designs are fantastic! Love them all!
Thank you! Using 6×6 paper pads will always be my favorite way to make cards. I am trying to make sure to do a couple 6×6 videos every month. Some months just get a bit busy.
Thank you, Julee! I love finding wonderful masculine paper collections. 🙂
