Hello friends! I’m trying to work my way through the large stack of Christmas paper pads I purchased this year. So many pretty papers, so little time. The next paper pad checked off the list is Holiday Cheer by Honey Bee Stamps. I love the traditional Christmas colors in this collections. I also used several of their sentiment stamps and word die sets. Their new release includes lots of fun stamped images. But since I no longer color, I decided to buy the fun Lovely Layers Pinecone die set instead. It is amazing, by the way.
I used my 6×6 Paper Pad Tutorial and one paper pad to make 30 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 pulled before starting on the 6×6 paper pad. 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 11 sheets of 8 1/2″ x 11″ and 7 sheets of 12″ x 12″ solid colored cardstock.
Cardstock colors –
Forest Moss – Coredinations
Evergreen – Coredinations
Dark Spring Green – Color Mates
Lava – Bazzill
Black – Recollections
Here are close up pictures of the cards I made, including sketches and measurements. All of my cards are A2 size. For sketches that don’t include measurements, I simply figure the measurements out on my own, for what works for me. Go HERE to see my video explaining how I determine card sketch measurements. All cards are made using Honey Bee Stamps Holiday Cheer 6×6 paper pad.

Thanks for visiting my blog today.
I appreciate your kindness and support!
Lovely cards using a very unique paper pad. I really like the cards with the watercolor floral papers. the pinecone die looks to be a lot of fun, too and creates a realistic pinecone. Wonderful work, Kristie!
Thank you so much, Jeanne! I love Honey Bee Stamps paper style. It’s very different from other companies paper pads.:)
