Today thought I would share a couple of Checkboard Cards, seems these are all the rage on the internet of card makers!
Creating these cards is a great way to use up some of those ½” wide scrap strips we all have!
Here is how to create the card:
- Started with a 4¼” x 5½” piece of Basic White card stock or even copier paper works for this step
- Cut about 10-12 strips ½” wide by about 6″ long. Make a combination of colors and images
- Use liquid glue to adhere the strips to the Basic White paper
- You can also cover the Basic White card stock with adhesive sheet, then add the strips
- Cut to your desired size (4″ x 5¼” or even 3¾” x 5″)
- Then cut that piece into ½” strips, keeping them in order
- Cut piece of card stock to match your desired size and add the strips, moving them up and down to create a pattern.
- Trim off excess and create your card!
For the second card, the Scenic Coast product collection was used. The Strawberry Slush square was used a the focal point of the and paper moved up and down based on that square.
