Hi Stampers!
I don’t know about you, but I have a love- hate relationship with 6” x 6” papers. I like the smaller size as it is easier for me to store. Yer, it frustrates me, because most times I cut the 6” x 6” paper at 4” x 5 1/4” and end up with a pile of scrap pieces that measure 4” x 3/4”, and another pile that measure 2” x 6”. I try to remember to use the smaller pieces to stamp and / or die cut smaller images. As for the 2” x 6” I have a couple of go to card layouts that are perfect for using the scraps. One of the layouts I call the Around the Block Card. This card has other names, but whatever the name , basically you create a frame that goes around the edge of the card base or card panel creating a block in the center - thus the name - Around the Block Card! I use my 2” x 6” scraps to creates the frames for these cards. Let’s take a look at the cards!
Creating these cards is quick and easy. The card takes 2 strips of patterned paper cut at 1” x 3” and two strips cut at 1” x 4 1/4”. The block in the center will measure 2” x 3 1/4”.

AROUND THE BLOCK HOLIDAY CARDS
I enjoy using this card layout, because it goes together quickly, uses scraps, and it leaves plenty of room for versatility. Why not grab your scraps and start creating a few Around the Block Cards!
That’s all for today. Thank you so much for joining me. Until next time…
Stamp Happy!
