6x6 Pad, part 2

Welcome to Part 2 of my effort to use up one 6x6 pad of paper in one weekend. You saw the first 30 cards here. Now I bring you the next 16.

I had a pile of 17 strips of 2x6 papers, and I decided to mass-produce the batch of cards. Here's what one looks like, then I'll explain:

I ended up trimming all the papers from 2"  down to 1 1/2", so I now have a pile of 1/2" strips of paper you'll see tomorrow.

All of the cards have Kraft card bases. I stuck down all the strips of paper, then I used a Jennifer McGuire technique and applied thin strips of card stock down each side of the patterned paper instead of layering it. This works in at least three situations that I can think of: (1) you forgot to layer, or decided you should have layered, but didn't; (2) you are running dangerously low on your solid card stock, and don't have enough for layering; or (3) you planned to do this. Jennifer does (3) - she plans these things, or at least she makes it look like she did. I would normally be (1), because I forget a lot of things, but today I am (2), as I am dangerously low on Buckeroo Blue, and this seemed like a fine alternative.

Let me show you a few more cards from Wave 2.

Here's another birthday one, using my favorite paper from the pack:

 and here is one with blue trim:

This next one is horizontal, because that's how I cut the pear paper:

 I made that green button. I think it should have been thicker, but it'll do.

Just to mix things up (mass production is no longer fun for me), I left the banners blank on a few cards and put the sentiment in a circle, like this:

 And another one:

I like how the circle cuts all the straight lines. I also went back and used my 1/2" corner chomper on all the corners.

I made 16 of these total (all varieties with the strip of patterned paper on Kraft), so today's total is 46 cards. I had 17 strips of paper, but one had to be sacrificed because of poorly-placed permanent tape. :( So sad.

Tomorrow I'll tackle all the small pieces that remain, and hopefully I'll use every last scrap of this paper pad.

Thanks for stopping by!
