Recently I received a card in the mail from my friend Liz and I could tell it was not the usual A2 size. I measured it and it was 4×6, so I immediately thought about the patterns like the one below that are meant to be cut into cardfront size panels. I thought you’d enjoy this idea for making SIX 4×6 cards from the Whispering Woods designer paper pattern shown below.

By cutting the designer paper into six pieces (3-3/4″ x 5-3/4″) you can layer them onto 4×6 card bases and create 4×6 cards! (I use these envelopes).

I used 2 sheets of 12×12 cardstock to make my six card bases to match the 6 cardfront panels. They are 4×12 each and folded in half to create a 4×6 card base. I used Lost Lagoon and also Misty Moonlight Two-Tone cardstock.

Several teal cardstock bases are fanned out beneath five smaller white cards. Each white card features a watercolor-style illustration of evergreen trees against a soft, pale blue sky. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

I included 3-3/4″ x 5-3/4″ patterned paper inside the card (from the Whispering Woods pack) and an Arch die cut for writing a message.
