Cut up your Designer Series Paper to make this Simple Patterned Paper Card!
I’ve always been of the belief that paper crafting doesn’t have to be difficult. So much of the rest of life can be hard, so why not do something that is fun and easy?
This is just a section of a piece of the New Horizons Designer Series Paper, cut into thirds and then mounted onto cardstocks. Super quick, super simple. You can add some bling or ribbon if you want, but honestly, if you just need a quick card to send a note to someone, or to accompany a gift, whip up a simple patterned paper card like this one! I pulled the cardstock colours from those used in the Designer Series Paper – Evening Evergreen and I cheated and used Pear Pizzazz – it’s not listed as one of the colours, but I think when the colour gets diluted in the watercolour image, it’s a comparable tone.
Variations on a theme – cut the paper into different widths – they don’t all have to be the same – make one section wider than the others! Cut into squares or blocks, cut on the diagonal….whatever works for you! (Just keep them in the same order when you stick them in place so that the pattern is intact).
That’s my quick and easy take today – a simple patterned paper card. There are times when we may want to do a more challenging project, but there are times when we just need a nice card right away. Tuck this idea away (or pin it on Pinterest!) for when you need instant results, and come back to visit the YamStamps site for more crafting inspiration!
