6 Cards from one 12×12
I started with the easiest design – cutting 12×12 patterned paper into 6 pieces to make 6 cards. (see cards above).
9 cards from one 12×12
When you cut 12×12 patterned paper into 9 squares at 4″x4″ each, you’ll produce patterns for 9 cards – see above & below. The Poppy Parade cardstock is 4-1/4″ x 11″, scored at 5-1/2″ then cut off 1-1/4″ from the top flap. This allows the 4×4 designer paper to layer perfectly.
Cutting 3″x4″ to make 12 front panels
I love cutting my 12×12 paper in increments of 2″, 3″, 4″ and 6″ to get the most out of my paper. The pull up card above and below showcases 3×4 pieces on the front panel, which yields 12 cards per sheet. (the 4″x5-1/4″ layer is covered at the top of this post)
I used the Willow White 12×12 paper for the pull-up part. Cutting it at 3″ x 12″ yields 4 of these pull up pieces per sheet.
Amazing Flap Card design using 1/2 piece of cardstock
It may not look possible, but both of the pieces of Pool Party Cardstock are cut from just a 1/2 sheet of 4-1/4″ x 11″ cardstock!! And the designer paper pieces are standard sizes (see image below) to maximize the paper and produce the least amount of waste.

2 new Card Ideas for Happy Hibiscus
I can’t seem to stay away from flowers, even though I should probably be making Christmas gift card holders…. so I hope you don’t mind a little floral inspiration today featuring the Happy Hibiscus bundle!
Above: I had this Granny Apple Green plaid embossed background on my desk for a couple months and was waiting for the right time to use it.. I thought it really punched up the colors for this hibiscus card!
Above/Below… I took inspiration from THIS hibiscus card and added a Postage die cut layer on the gate fold card design. I did color the flowers today with Stampin’ Blends markers instead of stamping the 2 step flower images.
All supplies for the Pretty in Pink card and the plaid background card are linked below – shop in my online store anytime!
