Hello friends! There are lots of fun monthly card kits subscriptions available, but did you know the Not 2 Shabby Shop also offers a Paper Pad Club? On the 1st of every month, they release two 6×6 paper pads. You can buy the paper pads as a one time purchase, but by subscribing, you save 18% off retail. If you use a lot of pattern paper, this is a fun subscription option.
Their June 2022 paper pads have a patriotic theme. You will receive Cue the Sparklers and Patriotic Inks. I love the red, white and blue colors and unique designs in both of the collections. The owner of Not 2 Shabby was kind enough to send me both paper pads. You could use the collections for so many different occasions, but I decided to make Independence Day cards. They will be perfect for the retirement home residents in July.
I made a total of 21 patriotic cards.
Watch the video below or click HERE to see it on YouTube.
Here are close up pictures of the cards I made, including sketches and measurements. All of my cards are American standard 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 Not 2 Shabby’s June 2022 Paper Pad Club collections.
