Hello friends! Now that my Valentines Day cards are finished, I decided to make some cheerful spring cards. I used Paper Rose’s Spring Rain 6×6 paper pad. The colors and designs in the collection are so pretty. I used lots of general sentiments so the cards can be used for any occasion.
I used my 6×6 Paper Pad Tutorial and one paper pad to make 18 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 3 sheets of 8 1/2″ x 11″ and 5 sheets of 12″ x 12″ solid colored cardstock.
I forgot to take a picture of the cardstock, but listed most of the colors I used.
Cardstock colors –
Black – Recollections
Bazzill Red – Bazzill
Hibiscus – Bazzill
Atlantis – Bazzill
Admiral – Bazzill
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 Paper Rose Spring Rain 6×6 paper pad.

These cards are lovely, Kristie. The papers in the pad are very pretty. I really like the color palette. You’ve showcased them wonderfully. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Thank you, Jeanne! It’s a very pretty paper collection! I’m really enjoying Paper Rose products. 🙂
So pretty! I love the color combo and how you added the dark and light orange hello die! And speaking of the hello dies, they are awesome!!! I really like Paper Rose products–i’m so happy they are sold here and I don’t have to pay international shipping! TFS!
Thank you, Jennifer! The colors in the paper collection are very pretty! I bit different than the usual pastel spring colors. Can you tell I like using Hello dies on my cards? Lol! It is very nice Paper Rose products can be purchased in the US. Although their shipping is very reasonable. 🙂
