NSD challenge "Make the Most of Your 6x6" with June - cards

  Hi, this is June Houck with your next NSD challenge

here at Pumpkin Spice.

 I set a challenge for myself, and I hope it inspires you too:  

Make the most of your 6x6 

I love collecting 6x6 pads, and even though many of my pads are well-loved and down to bare bones, I wanted to challenge my self to actually try to use an entire pad.

I purchased this Fancy Pants "Time for Spring" 6x6

at Shop Pumpkin Spice for just $4.20

1.  I separated and grouped like papers together:

This pad has two of every pattern (18 patterns/36 sheets).

• I grouped solids at the top
• nearly solids (tone w/ white) in the middle
• and busy patterns

2.  I chose a busy pattern, sketched a card, and tried to create as many cards as I could from the patterned paper.

  I created two of these hexagon cards.  The popped up hexagons were fussy cut from the scrap strips I cut off.

Then I chose the bold flowers paper and fussy cut these flowers from it, and a few paper strips from other papers in the pad.  I fussy cut 6 flowers total because I also made two of this card:

and from the scraps of the bold flower paper I created four cards like this one:

Hmmm...I did not succeed in using the whole 6x6; 

I still have 25 of the 36 full sheets 

plus scraps to play with, 

but I made 8 cards already from a $4.20 pad.

Niiiiiice!

Challenge (and a chance to win  a $20 gift card to Shop Pumpkin Spice):

Create 2 (or more) cards from any of your 6x6 paper pads

Make the most of your 6x6!

Happy National Scrapbook Day!  June

Today's Daily Inspiration with Tanya - Card

Tanya here with a little inspiration.  I wanted to use some more of my "Be You" papers by Fancy Pants for my card today and I also thought it would be kind of neat to use a image that is not typical for this time of year....what do you think, did it work??

Today's daily inspiration with Tanya - Card

Happy Sunday everyone!  Tanya here on this beautiful Vermont morning to bring you some inspiration.  My card today doesn't have a sentiment or image but I love the simplicity of it and will add the perfect sentiment once I found out what I want to use the card for :)

For my card today I used black cardstock as my base and for the matting, papers from "Be You" by Fancy Pants and added some ribbon :)

Any Occasion by Tanya

Good morning everyone!  I hope you have a relaxing day ahead of you before going back to work tomorrow...me I plan on watching some of the Pro Bowl :)  For today's project I thought I'd take one of the paper stacks and make a quick card that can be used for any occasion.  I haven't put any sentiments on the front yet as I'll wait until I figure out what I need it for.  But one good thing, this is a great way to use up those scraps and it's super quick :)

The papers I used on this were from the Be You Paper Pad
