I hope you are all enjoying your time creating cards for World Card Making Day. I know traditionally this day is to kick off the holiday season but I’m bucking the system with a spring-colored Hello Card. I guess I’m just not ready to go there yet.
For the harlequin pattern, I adopted a chevron paper-cutting technique I learned from our Go-to Gal Jennifer McGuire.
After cutting strips of paper and gluing them to a base paper, I then cut the base paper into strips and glued them into a harlequin pattern on my card base. Stamp a sentiment, add a few brads and a ribbon, and voila!
How would you like a crack at a crafty mystery box? Comment below telling me which pattern is your favorite (zigzag, harlequin, quatrefoil, damask, etc.) and I’ll pick one random winner. Just make sure your comment is in by Monday, October 8th at 5 pm MDT!
Happy crafting!
I just love dots of any size, big or small and even mixed up.
Love your pattern! I love a tiny black and white checkerboard pattern as an accent or border – it seems to go with anything!
I love dots! Give me dots anyway!
Although I’m a go-to-polka-dot-girl, of the patterns you mentioned I tend to fall back on damask often too. Your card is so bright and brilliant!
Harlequin and damask always catch my eye first.
Very cool technique! I am loving chevron right now!
Love the awesome technique on your card. I’m partial to a soft and pretty damask.
I luv all polka dots;) I’m starting 2 really dig chevron! Thanx~prhmangel@gmail.com
I’m loving inchies right now, but harlequin is also on the top of my go to specials.
Love this lawn fawn paper pad!
I like zigzags and just busy patterns.

Lovely card. I love Damask my all time favorite:)
Kerri, your colors are so bright and cheery and the harlequin pattern is a good way to highlight them. I tend to lean towards damask as my favorite. I guess it’s the old-fashioned, classic touch for me. It can be so elegant. Thanks for your ideas and the chance to win.
Your card is so cheery! My favorite pattern right now is chevron.
I’d have to say my all time fav is polka dots but I’m really loving hexagons right now too!
I love chevrons and hexagons.
I’m really liking quatrefoil and damask these days.
Fantastic card Kerri! Thank you for sharing the technique. I love damask patterns.
Great technique, love this! Damask or anything floral makes me happy!
I am such a sucker for damask designs!
