I would love if all manufacturers went to 6-1/2" paper pads, in place of 6".
Kaiser craft has it in their new Barbershop line: link
I always loved OA's 8" pads. |

Now granted, my usage of 6x6 extends only to layering on a 12x12 layput. What makes 6.5x6.5 a preferable size for you?

They have all of their paper pads that size. The back of the pad includes die cuts you can punch out, too. At least my Shine Bright did.  I love that there are new sizes coming, like Bella Blvd's 6x8, it will work great for PL with no waste or trying to make the other 2 inches good for something. |

I like the 6.5 size because sometimes I want to use it in a 6x8 album, and some companies skim a bit off the end to put their manufacture label. And then It wont fit right in a 6x8 album. Now they can add their label and I still get the full size!

I cut all of my scraps that I can down to 6.5 x 4.5 mats and they store so easily.

Haven't all Kaisercraft pads been 6 1/2 "? I have quite a few and thought this was their standard size. They are an Australian brand and bring out new ranges very regularly so I have quite a large stash of their products.  Corinne |

As a card maker with a ton of 6x6 pads, I'd never buy a 6.5x6.5" pad: they won't fit in the storage I have! They can be taller (some of them are, the ones with the circle for hanging the pad) but if it's wider, it's a no-go for me.

I love Kaisercraft and wish they had the 6 1/2 x 6 1/2 pads at Hobby Lobby again. I've picked up a couple up on Amazon, but miss seeing them local. I've found some Kaisercraft at Tuesday Morning, so maybe they'll have some there in the future.

I just want 6x6 to change to 6x8. 6x6 is too limiting - that extra two inches would make all the difference for me.

It's wonderful! |
