Hello friends! Can you believe it’s almost spring already? It hasn’t felt like it here in Western Washington the past week, but temps are supposed to warm up to the lower 70’s this weekend with lots of sunshine. I plan on soaking in some of that sunshine before the clouds and rain return.
With springtime just around the corner, I decided to make some pretty spring/summery cards using Scrapbook.com’s Market Bloom collection. Their paper pads are available in A2 and also 6×8″. I thought it would be fun to use my 6×6 style video format and turn an A2 size paper pad into a set of cards. The paper pad includes 40 sheets, so I really had no idea how many cards I would make or how long the video would be.
It took me 3 long days of recording, some prep time, and 2-3 days of editing to get this video finished. The actual recording time was just under 7 hours. Whew!
I used my 6×6 Paper Pad Tutorial and one A2 paper pad to make 33 cards.
I did not keep track of how many sheets of colored cardstock I used this time, but I did write down the cardstock brands and names.
Cardstock colors
Aspen – Bazzill
Pumpkin Patch – Bazzill
Forest – Spellbinders
White shimmer – Spellbinders
Several Scrapbook.com Smooth cardstock paper pads (listed below)
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 Scrapbook.com’s Market Bloom A2 paper pad.

Wow, what a labor of love, Kristie. You put your effort into this set and it shows. What a wonderful collection of cards. I really like some of the sketches you used. The bunny card made me smile. But they are all delightful. So happy you are getting some sunny spring weather. I know you will enjoy it. We just got over a huge snowstorm, but the snow is already melting and we’ll be in the 60s this next week! Thanks for all you do, Kristie. I appreciate you!
