Hello friends! Happy February! Not sure where January went, but I’m so happy to have all my Valentine’s Day cards finished. I still need to stamp a sentiment and write a message inside each card, plus get the envelopes all prepped. But at least the cards are all made! I used the gorgeous Love Letters collection by Honey Bee Stamps and some of their fun new stamps from their recent release.
I used my 6×6 Paper Pad Tutorial and one paper pad to make 28 cards.
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 5 sheets of 8 1/2″ x 11″ and 10 sheets of 12″ x 12″ solid colored cardstock.
Cardstock colors –
Black – Recollections
Bazzill Orange – Bazzill
Wax Lips – Bazzill
Lava – Bazzill
Garnet – Darice
Tiara – Bazzill (not pictured)
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 Love Letters 6×6 paper pad.
