Are you a paper collector? I can tell you with certainty that I am! I ooh and aah over how beautiful it is then never cut it out of its plastic wrap before I file it away for safe keeping. I think sometimes it is intimidating to cut up your paper because you don’t want to waste it, but not using it really is more of a waste than anything! The saying goes…. if you love your paper, you will chop your paper. If you do not cut up your paper, you do not truly love your paper! So let’s get together and make good use of that beautiful paper!

12x12 Paper

Using your 12x12 DSP to make card fronts allows you to quickly prep your paper to make a ton of quick and easy yet beautiful cards. If you cut your paper into two 5.25”x12” strips then rotate and cut into 4” pieces. You will be left with 6 5.25”x4” DSP mats that are the perfect size for a standard 5.5”x4.25” card base. If you chop up your whole pack of DSP, you will be ready to make 72 quick and easy cards by just adding some coordinating cardstock, ink and stamps!

6x6 Paper

Our 6x6 DSP can be intimidating and overwhelming, but crafting shouldn’t be either of these! My suggestion is to use your 6x6 paper for notecards (5”x3.5”). Take your paper and make two 1/2” inch cuts (leaving you with a piece of 6”x5” paper). Then rotate your paper to cut in half at 3”. Take your piece of 3”x5” paper and adhere it to your notecard then take a strip of coordinating DSP (from your first cuts) and adhere it next to it. You now have a notecard with edge-to-edge coverage that is ready to be embellished as you please! Pro Tip: notecards make a great gift! Pair 8 notecards and envelopes in a mini paper pumpkin box to make a great gift!
