Get the "You Are So Sweet" cut file here! I loved the idea of creating a large coordinating cut file and creating a pattern inside of the strawberry. I used several red patterned papers cut into small squares and arra

This layout is from a class I taught at We Create a few years ago using a 6x6" cardstock paper pad from Memory Box that had several shades of the same color family. I have always enjoyed creating ombré-style designs and those small paper pads were so perfect for that! It made it so easy to compile the colors needed since they were all in one small pad. But...that was the only easy thing about this layout! This style of triangle takes a little longer to cut out! Most of the ti

One of the things I absolutely love about using smaller papers like 6x6" or 6x8" on full size layouts is that it forces you to think outside of the box and really stretch your creativity. You often have to find ways to build a larger design with smaller pieces and I've learned that that can open the door for so much fun!

This layout is from an online class I taught called Pattern Play. The whole concept of the class was creating patterns made up of smaller pieces. The intent was to use 6x6" or 6x8" paper pads, but scraps can be a great alternative! This "X" pattern was one of my favorites!

The super cute Berry Sweet collection from Doodlebug instantly had my attention! In that classic Doodlebug fashion it has cute icons and details with bright, fun colors. To create this layout I used the 6 x 8" paper pad to create a large background made up of strips that follow a rainbow color scheme from red to blue. I used a variety of detail to create the strips. The 6 x 8" paper pad has a sheet with different decorative strips that had icons like hearts, strawberries, and

This layout is from a class I taught last year at the amazing Simple Stories Get Creative event. They really know how to put together a fabulous event! To create this argyle-style background I first cut several squares out of a variety of patterned papers. I chose to use 6 x 6" papers for this design since the patterns are smaller and works well with smaller pieces like this. Then to arrange the design I use my beloved Omnigrid ruler to draw a horizontal line in the center an

To create them you cut a square first and then cut that square in half diagonally. To create the background I arranged two triangles together to form diamonds made up of two d

This layout has lots of detail and yet was super easier to construct thanks to some punches and a 6x6" paper pad! I used a 4 different sizes of heart punches with 9 different patterned papers. The great thing about 6x6" papers is that patterns are smaller so they work really well with punches! You can punch out a tiny shape and still get a decent representation of that pattern on it. Small papers and patterns for the win!! When it came to arranging the design, I didn't really
