Shadow Block Technique

By | 19/06/2024

So, do you ever have those nights where you just can’t sleep? That was me this past Saturday, so what did I do? Go out to the sun porch and check out video’s on YouTube!

I came across a video from Tina Zinck showing the “Shadow Block” Technique, something that is used in quilting.

Here’s the card I just had to make Sunday morning using this technique. So how did I make the card you ask?

Card specifics:

  • Cut 12 pieces of designer series paper 1″ x 1″ (great for scraps)
  • Cut 12 pieces of card stock 1″ x 1″
  • Adhere the pieces together showing about 1/8″ of the card stock on two sides
  • Layout the pieces on a card stock mat 3¾” x 5″ (Basic White), adhere with your adhesive of choice. If desired, cut through die cut machine using embossing folder of your choice
  • Mat on card stock 4″ x 5¼” (Pretty Peacock)
  • Adhere to card base (Peach Pie)
  • Wanted to Say Dies for greeting

So, what designer series paper and colors will you use?
