If you're a card maker seeking a delightful and straightforward technique to make your handmade cards stand out, look no further than this patchwork technique as was featured in this week's YouTube Premiere.
The timing couldn't be more perfect because this June, Stampin' Up! is offering a fantastic 15% discount on select Designer Series Papers, allowing you to indulge in this technique while saving on your supplies.

The patchwork technique involves combining different patterns and designs from patterned papers to create a charming patchwork effect on your cards. It's a versatile and fun way to add visual interest and dimension to your projects. With an array of beautiful papers to choose from, you can mix and match patterns, colors, and themes to suit your style and the occasion.

To get started, select a variety of papers that catch your eye from the discounted collection.  Cut the papers into squares or rectangles, and arrange them in a pleasing pattern on your card base. Experiment with different combinations until you achieve a layout that you love.

Once you're satisfied with the arrangement, adhere the paper pieces to your card base. You can use our Multipurpose Liquid Glue to secure them in place. The patchwork design will instantly add a pop of visual interest to your card, creating a unique and eye-catching piece.
