Patchwork Border Card: A Lovely Technique For Quick Card Making

#handmadecards #papercraftideas #simplysimplestamping
Have you ever thought of making a Patchwork Border Card? It's a great way to use up paper scraps and it only takes about 5 minutes to make. Mix and match designer series paper, and cardstock colors.
Your cards are going to knock their socks off when you create and send a card with this layout.
🌸 What do you envision for your patchwork border card? Will you use the same designer series papers, mix it up with cardstock, or add variety in some other way?

Thanks Connie for the great card idea! I made mine in red and blue flowers on white paper for veterans day cards and they turned out cute and since I made it into a OSW it made it easier to make batch cards.

[@kathykujawski7279]

Thank you Connie for another great card idea!

[@simplysimplestamping]

Thank you for taking the time to watch.

[@wendywilson1736]

Thank you! This is great motivation, since I have a lot of stamps and inkpads that don't get used nearly enough. Paper pads and packs of singles have tempted me too much! This will give me the incentive to use my stamps. And my blending brushes, too!
Also great for smashing scraps from a 6x6 pad. I think I'd cut the 2"x4" pieceoff the 2x6 piece first, then I'll have a larger scrap for other uses. Then I'll cut that 2x4 in half for the longer strips.
You give us such good ideas to make neat but simple cards. Thanks again!

[@simplysimplestamping]

I am so glad this inspired you.
