If you find yourself drowning in patterned paper scraps that seem too small to use, try the design on this card. The focal point is a 3¼” x 4” piece of white card stock that’s been completely covered with 4″ long pieces of patterns in various widths; the narrowest was 1/2″ wide. Using the white “foundation” helps keep the strips straight, although using your Grid Paper helps, too. And if you’re ultra fussy, you’ll use a clear, gridded quilting ruler. More on that some other time. Tip: to camouflage the white edge at the top of the last strip on the right, simply use a marker.
It helps to start with fabulous paper! In keeping with the rest of the Holiday Stamp-a-Stack to Go projects, I started with the ’Tis the Season Designer Series Paper — retiring and on sale! (See the complete list here.)
The gold-printed strip is from Wonder of the Season, a Specialty Designer Series Paper that is retiring and marked down to half-price! The red strip is Red Velvet Paper; it’s not retiring so it will be perfect for Valentine’s Day projects.
I used a Gold Foil label to hold the sentiment. From the Painted Labels die set, it has a beautiful embossed detail.
