Hello friends! My first 6×6 video for 2023 features all birthday cards. I recently received a request from a local charity for birthday cards. They like to give them to all their volunteers. I searched for a gender neutral collection and came across Scrapbook Customs Birthday 6×6 paper pad. I love that the paper are made in the US. Their paper pads only include 12 sheets, so I purchased two. The colors are bright and cheerful. Perfect for birthday cards!
I used my 6×6 Paper Pad Tutorial and two paper pads to make 28 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 15 sheets of 8 1/2″ x 11″ and 5 sheets of 12″ x 12″ solid colored cardstock.
Cardstock colors –
Black – Recollections
Teal – Recollections
Navy – Recollections
Royal Blue – Tonic Studios
Green – unknown
Orange – unknown
Red – unknown
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 two of Scrapbook Customs Birthday 6×6 paper pad.
