Patchwork Card / Stamping With Melva

Patchwork Card

Sunday, 21 May 2023

I love the patchwork techniques for cards - what a great way to show off the amazing Designer Series Paper we have, but also a great way to use up the Designer Series Paper we have in our stash!

I showed this technique on a recent Technique Live I did using the Countryside Inn DSP. I love the blues in this paper and love how this card turned out.

Instructions

Cut Boho Blue cardstock 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and score at 4 1/4". Fold and burnish on scoreline using Bone Folder to form card base.
Cut Misty Moonlight cardstock 4" x 5 1/4"
Cut Basic White cardstock 4" x 5 1/4"
Cut 6-8 strips of Designer Series Paper 1/2" x 12"
Start diagonally across the Basic White cardstock and adhere a DSP strip
Adhere the next strip beside the first one.
Carry on for 3 strips and then turn the strips to go in the opposite direction.
Repeat on the other side of the first 3 strips until the cardstock is filled - you can turn the strips when ever you want to
Trim to 3 3/4" x 5"
Adhere to Misty Moonlight cardstock
Wrap ribbon around cardstock
Adhere to card base.
Stamp sentiments on Basic White cardstock using Misty Moonlight ink and Boho Blue ink
Cut out using Paper Snips
Cut Misty Moonlight cardstock 1" x 2"
Adhere sentiments to Misty Moonlight cardstock using Dimensionals
Adhere to card base
Cut Basic White cardstock 4" x 5 1/4"
