Hello friends! It was time for a new 6×6 video. I used Honey Bee Stamps Sweet on You collection. I had intended on making Valentine’s Day cards with this paper pad. But my schedule got a bit busy, so I decided to make lots of Happy Mail and Love cards instead. I really enjoyed the non-traditional colors in this lovely paper collection. Lots of soft oranges and mint greens with the dark blue and black for contrast.
I used my 6×6 Paper Pad Tutorial and one paper pad to make 25 cards.
Because it takes many hours to turn a 6×6 paper pad into cards, this video has been sped up 6 times. The real time recording was just over 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.
I’ve had a few requests to see a picture of all cardstock I first pull 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 5 sheets of 8 1/2″ x 11″ and 10 sheets of 12″ x 12″ solid colored cardstock.
Cardstock colors –
Black – Recollections
Black Tie – Bazzill
Moody Blue – Bazzill
Peach Fuzz – Coredinations
Aqua – 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 Sweet on You 6×6 paper pad.

Oh golly, Kristie! These cards are wonderful. I love the non traditional color combinations and how you used them for fun, keeping in touch type cards. So very pretty! Thanks for sharing!
What a fun paper pad. I love the "Long live snail mail" sentiment. 🙂 Off to window shop at Honey Bee Stamps. I still have so much paper to get through before I can buy more. *sigh* But I haven't gone on a stamp diet… yet!
Thank you, Jeanne! It was the non-traditional colors that caught my eye. I ordered the paper pad as soon as it was available. So pretty!
Thanks, Jennifer! The Love Enclosed stamp set is full of great sentiments. I'll get a lot of use with it. 🙂
