Oh, Abstract Beauty 4" x 6" Specialty Designer Series Paper. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. It's filled with bright colors and fun patterns and images. It's a size we haven't seen in Designer Series Paper in many years. That's why I wanted to share some quick and easy card layouts using the Abstract Beauty 4" x 6" DSP in my December 31st Facebook Live. Think of the layouts you see in this Video Replay as "Mini One Sheet Wonders". They'll help you create fun cards in no time with just a few supplies.
Cutting Dimensions for You're Amazing Card above:
- Card base – 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", score at 4 1/4" on long side.

Cutting Dimensions for black/white/gold cards above:
- Card base = 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", score at 4 1/4" on long side
