I love Stampin’Up! Designer Series papers and buy them all however I am often stumped by the 6×6 size papers. The reason? Once you cut one sheet up for a card front you are left with a skinny leftover pieces and I feel it is such a waste. I am always happy to find a way to get the most out of my pretty papers and I hit the perfect solution with these notecards.
The Flowers for Every Season 6×6 papers are so divine that to waste any of them is terrible, so I came up with this solution. I cut each 6×6 sheet into 3×3 inch pieces and mounted them onto Basic Black 3 1/8 x 3 1/8 inch mats and then adhered them onto Stampin’Up! notecards. A whole batch of thankyou cards done very quickly and easily. My favourite type of project!
These papers are just so pretty! They are part of a lovely suite of products by the same title and the colours used are all the 2020 – 2022 In Colours. I can see these papers and the coordinating stamps, dies and pinch being very popular.
I hope my idea helps you feel not so wasteful when it comes to cutting up your pretty papers. They can’t sit in your paper stash forever!
Cheers!
I just saw your post. In fact,, I just did the same thing with a 12 x 12 sheet. The pattern was a watercolor look. I stamped a variety of black designs on them and mounted with black cardstock. You can see some on my blog August 6th.
