SUMMER FUN PATCHWORK GREETING CARDS | with Niella

Hi crafty friends! Nice to see you all pop by! Today I am so happy to show you my last Summer Fun project which is a sweet set of paper patchwork 6x4 Summer greeting cards! These were so fun to create to gift to friends, family, co-workers and anyone else to make their day a little bit extra special! Stay tuned to see my video showcase of my crafty cards to see the dimension!

To start, I selected six patterned papers and cut six 2" squares and gently curled the corners. Then using just a couple drops of liquid adhesive I randomly adhered each square in slight overlapping formation on the front of my card.

Next repeat again until you have decorated 3 base cards. Once that is done, you can start to build your card upwards. I have added some contrasting papers and cardstock to some of the corners as it brings dimension and illusion of different patterns and textures. Do not be afraid to make mistakes and play around with different looks. It's only paper and you'll never know what could be possible if you didn't try. Crafting is all about going for it!

Now comes the fun part! Tucking in some mini paperclips and add the ephemera! I'm not stranger to a layer or two of foam tabs! I find creating scenes and matching bits and pieces together to create clusters brings me so much paper joy! How fun is all the elements coming together! The sentiments and word confetti finish off each card, not to mention the sprinkles! And I also add in a Doodlebug brand tab on my Doodlebug projects.
