Supplies & Measurements

Here is what you need to create 10 cards with 15-3″ squares of pattern paper.

• 4-3/4”  x  3-1/4” cardstock (10)
• 4-3/4”  x  3/8” ribbon, cardstock, or die cut edge (10)
• (15-18) 3” squares
• Small Focal Point cluster any shape

Cut the 15-18 3” squares into rectangle and square pieces. For 10 cards you need 24 1-1/2” squares and 18 1-1/2” x 3” rectangles. If using a package of Designer Series Paper that has 6 double sided patterns, Choose one of each of the 6 patterns to cut into 24 squares and 9-12 (two of each pattern) to cut into the 18 rectangles. This will give you a variety of pattern choices. You will have a few leftover squares.

Using Card Template 34 to make 10 cards is a very relaxing project that uses very basic supplies. I hope you carve some time into your crafting time to try out the 10 different configurations.
