I was so excited when Jen del Muro, owner of Reverse Confetti, asked me to do one of my 6×6 videos using their newest paper collection. It’s called Paper Bliss and it’s part of their May new releases that will be available on May 8th. They are celebrating their 5th Birthday. I have been a huge fan of Reverse Confetti products so it was an honor to get to use this fun paper collection.
The paper pad includes 24 single-sided sheets. The colors are bright and cheerful with lots of fun patterns. It is the perfect balance of masculine and feminine papers, so it’s extremely versatile for any card themes.
I used my 6×6 Paper Pad Tutorial and one paper pad to make 33 cards.
Because it takes many hours to use up a 6×6 paper pad, this video has been sped up 7 times. The real time recording was 4 1/2 hours, not including any of my planning, prep, or die cutting time. Watch the video below or click HERE to see it on YouTube.
In addition to using the 6×6 paper pad, I also used 21 sheets of 8 1/2″ x 11″ and 5 sheets of 12″ x 12″ solid colored cardstock.
I’ve received several requests to list the cardstock colors. I use a variety of different brands and usually don’t know the name of the color. But I will list the colors I do have the info.
Dark blue cardstock is by Recollections in the value packs from Michaels.
The green cardstock is by Recollections. Not sure of the name though. It was single 12 x 12 sheets.
The pink cardstock is also by Recollections. Not sure of the name though. It was single 12 x 12 sheets.
The gray cardstock was from a value pack from either Michaels or Joanns.
The yellow cardstock is by Coredinations called Tiger Eye.
Here are close up pictures of the cards I made, including sketches and measurements. Every sketch used for this set of cards is by Reverse Confetti. I do not design card sketches, but I do figure out the measurements for A2 size cards. Go HERE to see my video explaining how I determine card sketch measurements. All cards are made using Reverse Confetti Paper Bliss 6×6 paper pad.

I just came across your blog a few days ago, i love the cards you make ! What are the measurements for an A2 card?
Another fantastic set of cards, Kristie. I'm SO happy for you that you were asked to create this set by Reverse Confetti. Such and honor and you showed off that paper pad so well. The sketches are fun and show off the versatile pattern paper. Great use of their stamps, too. Congratulations and thanks so much for sharing! Can't wait to watch the video. 🙂
An A2 size card base is 5.5 x 4.25 inches. That is one letter size 8.5 x 11 inch cardstock cut in half. Consequently, you get two card bases for every single letter sized (8.5 x 11 inch) piece of cardstock. Hope that helps. 🙂
Wow! I love all the cards great designs, especially loved the Giraffe and the Moose adorable. Thanks for the time you put into this watched it all. Love all the colors with this paper pack.
Congratulations, I am so glad that Reverse Confetti recognized the great cards that you create.
You do such an amazing job of utilizing sketches, stamps and embellishments to showcase each paper pad that choose.
Beautiful !!
Thank you for taking the time to video your work.
I love watching your videos! I have tried some of the sketches but I have yet to challenge myself to do the whole 6X6 pad thing yet. I really like the one day at a time stamp.
Love how you use so much of the total pack. Really love the quilted look at the end!
Thanks! The sizes from cardstock are different here in Europe.
Thank you, Jolanda and welcome! Yes, Karen is correct about the A2 card size. It's a standard size here in the United States. I know that's not very helpful with the card measurements I provide.
Thank you, Jeanne! It was such an honor to be asked by Reverse Confetti. They are one of my favorite companies! I would definitely do another video if they wanted one. 🙂
Thank you, Nancy! I really enjoyed the bright and cheerful colors in this paper collection. The giraffe set is one of my favorite Reverse Confetti critters. 🙂
Thank you, NannaT! It was so fun getting to showcase Reverse Confetti's newest 6×6 paper collection. I just love all their products. 🙂
Thank you, Cathy! I appreciate your kindness. Card sketches are always fun to use, even if you don't complete an entire 6×6 paper pad. As long as you are enjoying yourself, that's all that matters. 🙂
Thank you, Marjorie! I love figuring out ways to really utilize the most of the paper pad while still making good quality cards. 🙂
So happy to see another paper pad video – you are just so amazing and do such a great creative job with these – I especially love the squared off covered panel confetti cut die cards.
oh my goodness…you're amazing!
it doesnt matter what the task is…you are always amazing!!! 🙂
Thank you, Deb! I really appreciate your kindness! 🙂
Aw, thank you! 🙂
You are so kind. Thank you! 🙂
Hi Kristie, I've been on a marathon of your Youtube videos. I was wondering what size Tonic Studios Guillotine cutter you use. You are so inspiring. I'm working up my nerve to give a 6×6 a try.
Thank you!
Hello, Donna! Thank you for watching my videos. I appreciate the support.
I own the 6" x 12" Tonic guillotine trimmer with the attachable extension bar for cutting up to 12". I believe it's been discontinued. But, Tonic is releasing a very similar one shortly under Tim Holtz brand. It looks the same except for different colors. Hopefully the quality will be the same. 🙂
I love the graphic nature of this paper pad, and you chose the best sketches to show it off! Such an honor to be asked by RC–I know you are a big fan of their products, and apparently they are a big fan of your as well! My favorite cards are the Gracious ones–fabulous color combination, and the dino and critters are adorable, too. Thank you for sharing your cards with us. Jennifer
Thank you, Jennifer! Yes, it was a huge honor to be asked by RC. I am definitely a fan of their products. This paper collection was so fun to use with all the bright and cheerful colors. 🙂
