Hello friends! The days are still a bit chilly here in Western Washington, but the sun has been shining. That makes a huge difference. Especially after a week full of rainy days. I hope your day is filled with lots of sunshine! ☀
I recently received a request from a local charity for birthday and general themed cards. Preferable in gender neutral colors. I searched through my paper collections and came across the partially used Mini Adventure paper pad by Paper Rose. It’s a great collection for a wide variety of card themes.
I figured I may as well finish off the paper pad, focusing on Birthday and General themes. Since the charity mails out the cards, I avoided bling and thick dimension. That way they won’t have to pay additional postage to mail the cards.
Last year I used the Mini Adventure to make 6 cards. (Two of each design.)
I made an additional 15 cards using Paper Rose Studio’s Mini Adventure 6×6 paper collection.
Here are all the leftover scraps after making 21 cards.
Here are close up pictures of the cards I made, including sketches and measurements. All 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 Paper Rose’s Mini Adventure 6×6 paper pad.

Another great post Kristie! You are my inspirational person! Watching your videos always helps get me in a good mood and ready to tackle what’s in my stash! I always look forward to your posts and videos!
Aw, thanks so much Susie! I appreciate your kindness! 😊
Another great set of cards Kristie. So many wonderful ideas for finishing off a paper pad. I know that I have quite a few hanging around my craft space I will definitely use some of these ideas to try and finish my paper pads off.
Aw, thanks so much Tracy! I know I won’t get through all my leftovers this year, but I’d like to disappear a few. 😊
How wonderful and generous of you to create cards for the charity. These are wonderful. I look forward to watching the video and getting more inspired by your process and creativity. Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you, Jeanne! Charity cards always come first. It’s very convenient when I can turn those charity cards into a video. And bonus when I’m able to finish off some leftover papers! 😊
