Pretty Squares Card Pattern


I love a great card pattern that can be used over and over again with different DSP (Designer Series Paper).  I saw cards with this pattern on Pinterest made by Lorraine Terney and Jean Heavrin, but there wasn't a tutorial, so I just came up with my own way of doing it (and my own name for it).  I wanted to try it in all the new In Colors.  I used the new Bloom Boutique Designer Series Paper that highlights the new colors.

These are the measurements (in inches):
  • DSP: Cut three 1" x 3" strips in 3 different patterns, then cut each strip into a 1" square (you will use both sides).
  • White layer (top): 3 x 4-1/4
  • Colored Cardstock (middle): 3-1/4 x 4-1/2
  • White layer (bottom): 3-1/2 x 4-3/4
  • Card Base: 5-1/2 x 8-1/2, score at 4-1/4
You can see me create this card at the video linked below:
