Tonic Studios – Merry & Bright – 34 cards from one 6×6 paper pad

Hello friends! It’s July, that means time for a Christmas in July video. I generally don’t start working on the majority of my Christmas cards until fall, but’s it’s always fun to get a little jump ahead. Especially since I need around 300 Christmas cards every year. (I donate a lot of them.)

I used a new 6×6 from Tonic Studios called Merry & Bright. This is the first time I’ve used any of their paper collections. It includes 24 sheets of double sided pattern paper in 8 different designs. Most of the designs are very muted, with only 2 patterns on the busier side. This would be a great collection to add some fun colored images or ephemera. But I decided to stick with mostly sentiment stamps.

I used my 6×6 Paper Pad Tutorial and one paper pad to make 34 cards.

Because it takes many hours to turn a 6×6 paper pad into cards, this video has been sped up 7 times. The real time recording was just over 5 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 14 sheets of  8 1/2″ x 11″ and 4 sheets of  12″ x 12″ solid colored cardstock.

Cardstock colors – 

Awesome Aqua – DoubleMates

Berry – Coredinations

Here are close up pictures of the cards I made, including sketches and measurements. For sketches that don’t include measurements, I simply figure the measurements out on my own, for what works for me. All of my cards are A2 size. Go HERE to see my video explaining how I determine card sketch measurements. All cards are made using Tonic Studios Merry & Bright 6×6 paper pad.
