Description:

I started this card technique last year as "paper strips" cards, but have since changed it to "paper quilt" cards," as I wanted something a bit more fancy. :).

Here's a recap on the technique:

  • Cut up a bunch of Autumn-colored/themed paper strips (I tend to use 1/2" strips, but you can do any width you want, or even a combination of widths).

  • Adhere the strips side by side to a piece of card stock (see tip), trimming the ends flush with the edges as you go or afterwards. (Tip: Adhesive paper or large labels are a great alternative to a surface for the strips - it saves not having to glue or tape each strip down.)

  • Adhere this layer onto a folded card base.

Your strips can go diagonally, horizontally, vertically - however you choose. It's optional to add background layers, embellishments, and/or a verse, quote, word or saying. Sometimes the cards look nice just as they are.

Please write a note inside each card, perhaps telling a little about your day.
