Warning… long post with tons of card ideas to help you use your 6×6 designer paper patterns with “scenes”!! I’ve included instructions for 5 ways to make cards with the Meandering Meadow designer paper and a couple bonus cards with the One Horse Open Sleigh paper! I hope you’ll have a little time to enjoy the Free Video and Tip Sheet download at the bottom of my post!
Enjoy these 5 different designs!
Card Type 1: Side Fold
The side fold idea features a 3″ panel on the front with a continuation of the scene on the inside, which lends a little extra fun interest rather than just a 4″x5-1/4″ panel on the front.
Below: look how pretty this is with the One Horse Open Sleigh paper as well!

Dimensions are also provided on the tip sheet at the bottom of this post.
Card Type 2: Gate Fold
I’ve taken a typical gate fold card and added 2″ strips of designer paper on the inside as well, to bring a little interest and color to the inside!
Card Type 3: Triptych
A Triptych is simply any photo, scene or painting divided into 3 parts. This is a really fun way to use a 6″ piece of Meandering Meadow paper simply by cutting it into 2″ strips!
The greetings are from the Courage & Faith stamp set.
In addition to the Meandering Meadow 6×6 paper shown above, the One Horse Open Sleigh paper (below) and the All About Autumn paper are great choices for this type of card… any paper with a scene works great with these 5 designs. As you can see, I altered the design slightly by switching the two pieces on the inside of the card!
Card Type 4: Top Fold
This top fold design is just the side fold but turned horizontal.. and is another great way to add interest by adding a piece of the scene inside the card.
Meandering Meadow paper reminder: this is part of the Online Exclusive program from Stampin’ UP! and will be released to customers on Nov. 7, and available while supplies last.
Below: another bonus using the One Horse Open Sleigh paper pack, another Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive product available while supplies last.
Card Type 5: Front Panel Card
Lastly, our 5th design idea does feature a typical “card front”, but, with a twist and an additional panel inside to use the rest of the 6×6 paper!

Hi Patty,, Thanks so much for the downloads for 6×6 paper, I really enjoy your videos on card making, i am 87 and still enjoy making cards for family and friends, you make it so easy to follow your patterns,,,most are simple but pretty,,,, Thanks again, Marlene
Patty, Thank you for making these cards so easy to make. The way you show the layout of each card and writing the measurement on the example is great!! I will be making these designs. Simple and cute!!!
So glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for all the useful information from this post, Patty!! I love these scenery DSPs and will be making all the different types. Mahalo for being so generous with all of us! Useful, simple, & beautiful!

Wow, Patty these are gorgeous cards, thank you for sharing…!!!
thank you for watching!!
Thank you for an excellent video with clear instructions on how to create these beautiful cards. I learned so much and enjoyed the way you simplified how to do each one. The PDF with measurements is a treasure! I’ve tried these cards before and struggled and some times just threw out so many attempts so I am glad to have all five types in one place with great instructions. Can’t thank you enough! Now I’m ready to try the fall papers. And am not worried about having to struggle with these.
So glad it was helpful!! thank you so much!
Love all of your cards. Thank you for all of the inspiration
Thank you so much!!
Patty: You mention in the video that demonstrators can purchase the meandering meadow paper now. I became a demonstrator on the 3rd of Oct. and when I go to purchase the paper on the demonstrators view it just takes me round and round. Any words of wisdom?
Hi Martha, be sure you are logged in as a demonstrator, click ORDERING, click PLACING ORDERS, click Demonstrator order, and add #162735 to your order.
Watching replay. I use the scraps on my envelop. A strip down the side or across the bottom of the front.
Beautiful cards! Love them all! Thanks for sharing them. Just a heads up, I cannot get on YouTube! Not sure why but it won’t connect with me.
THank you! Glad you like them!! Try this link: https://youtu.be/L1xNXIlY7Ng?si=Q6f4Fke18hKY_sIU
