Grab your 6×6 paper (I used Stampin’ UP! Thoughtful Journey paper) and let’s make these super easy cards that showcase both sides of the paper! I was inspired by Meg @lovenstamps!
Simply take your 6×6 Thoughtful Journey paper and cut 3/4″ off the top or bottom, then score at 2″ from the left edge. SAVE that scrap, tear it and add it to the front as shown!! Glue to a 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ card base in a coordinating color.
Don’t Delay!
And I know it’s a “dirty word”… but this Thoughtful Journey paper is currently on the LOW INVENTORY list with Stampin’ Up! as I type this blog post… I hope it’s still available when you read this!

You can use any variety of sentiments for any occasion for this style of card. I kept the inside florals the same (changing the colors to match the DSP) but made some birthday, some thinking of you, etc.

Keeping the inside design similar allowed me to make a batch of these cards for customer thank yous fairly quickly. Apologies though, I’m still 3 weeks behind! Doing my best!
I used the Unbounded Beauty floral stems images for the inside and a variety of stamp set greetings. Please Shop for any of these supplies in my online store by clicking the product photos at the bottom of this post. Thank you for your order!!
Just soak in these gorgeous colors!!

Patty, these cards are so amazing and yet easy to make! Thank you for sharing.
I’m experimenting with retired 12×12 DSP (cut 6×6) to make these cards.
Best regards
I just love these cards but for the life of me I can’t figure out how to make it. What’s the scoring at 2” for? Where do you fold it? I don’t understand the inside of the card.
Do you have a video for this beautiful card?
the scoring at 2″ is for the front flap.. the 6×6 DSP flaps over the front of the card.
