Some patterned paper comes as 12″ x 12″ and a few of our fancy designs are 6″ x 6″, so today (and to help you use up your Paper Share!), I’ve got a fun fold slimline card which uses a 6″ x 6″ piece of Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper:
On the left is the card closed flat, and on the right, it’s open to see all the panels.
Cut two 2″ wide and two 1″ wide pieces from one 6″ x 6″ piece of pretty paper to fit into each section. You’ll also need a 1″ x 6″ and 2″ x 6″ panel of card stock to fit where you will write a message. The finished size is 3.5″ x 6.25″ when folded flat.
Here’s a different version with a piece of the Lighter Than Air Designer Series Paper, which already comes as 6″ x 6″-
I created a belly band for this one to keep it closed, then when you slide it off, it opens to wish you a Happy Birthday:
If you didn’t snag a stack of patterned paper in my Designer Series Paper Share, I have a few left! Get one piece of EVERY paper in the 2024 Jan-April Mini catalog for $18 (if you pick up from me in Hurricane, UT) or $22 shipped to you, while supplies last. Both pieces used on these cards ARE INCLUDED IN THE SHARE.
Need more ideas to try for 6″ x 6″ paper?
I love making Sour Cream treat containers or use the Corner Angle card technique to get 4 cards from one piece of paper!
