Collectively, I think the peas know everything. Great question and this thread has a lot of great ideas on how to use up those paper pads.
Thanks to all the peas who shared.

Several weeks ago, I discovered a tutorial (with cutting templates) to create a ton of cards from one 6x6 paper pad. The original creator of the template is Kristie Marcotte. She has tons of examples on her website. She creates cards for the Operation Write Home program. Later, Seongsook Duncan colored the two templates in to make them easier to follow. Both of these ladies' work is well-worth checking out. I was so inspired by this concept that I scoured the Internet and pinned as many examples as I could find on this Pinterest board. Hope you enjoy them! |

My favorite thing to do with 6x6 paper pads is make cards with a "strips on the diagonal" design. Here's a tutorial I put on my blog a while back with step by step instructions. You can make tons of cards from one pad doing it this way and the designs are perfect for it! Link: Step-by-Step Cards from a 6x6 Paper PadLove that idea! Signed, Lady who just bought four MORE 6x6 pads |

Looks very pretty and simple to do....I may go ahead and start cutting into some of those shelf hogs. Thanks! |

This Pinterest Board has a lot of good ideas for them. I think someone posted it on the old board (feels strange to type that).
Awesome! I had to follow you!

I love my 6x6 pads. I use them mostly for layering or using 4 pages to make a background page. Love that card tutorial Tracie.

I know this is REALLY specific, but just this weekend I used a bunch of the SummerFresh 6x6 double-sided sheets to make pinwheel decorations for our 4th of July bbq... omg, it was stupid easy. As if trimming a square is hard to begin with, right? But seriously, so cute, so much impact for the 45 seconds they take to make!

Mostly for matting, journalling, and for covering chipboard, but some really great ideas in this thread!

I bought the class from Allison Davis on using 6 x 6 pads and have made so many layouts from it. I love using it for embellishments too. It really is a lot easier to cut into than a new sheet of 12 x 12 paper.
Thanks to all that shared links, I am going to check them all out tomorrow.

I currently use mine for taking up a lot of space on my bookshelf and depleting my bank account. I console myself that they take up less space and bank account than 12x12 pads and papers. Hahaha! Yeah, me too! But I do actually use them "occasionally" for cards and when cutting shapes to use on my 12x12 layouts! |
