Scrap-paper quilt greeting cards

STARTER GUIDE · AWAITING MAKER TESTING

Let’s make something lovely.

1. 01

   Choose three coordinating scraps and cut nine one-inch squares. Use a paper sample to check size before cutting your favorite scraps.

2. 02

   Arrange the squares in a three-by-three grid on the plain cardstock, leaving small even gaps and a border.

3. 03

   Try rotating patterned pieces or alternating light and dark squares until you like the arrangement.

4. 04

   Glue the squares down one at a time with a thin layer of adhesive. Let the panel dry flat.

5. 05

   Attach the finished panel to the front of the blank card. Add a short handwritten greeting below it.

6. 06

   Write your note inside and check the card fits its envelope before making more.
