I used the Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper in a patchwork pattern with sashing between each square or a tile pattern with spacing or "grout" between each square.

This inside of the card is decorated with a strip of Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper with the same sweet daisy pattern, leaving room for a special message.
The card base is embossed with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder. Let me tell you! This is my favorite texture embossing folder of all time! Yes, it's true! This is my all time favorite texture embossing folder!
It adds that little extra something special without detracting from the rest of the design. Plus, the texture looks beautiful whether this embossing folder is used horizontally or vertically and on the embossed side or the debossed side.
I embossed a separate 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" piece of Crumb Cake cardstock and adhered it to the front. You can emboss the whole card front instead too.
I enjoyed creating with the patterned paper with the small daisies on the Bumble Bee background so much that I made two different variations of this patchwork card. The card pictured below on the right has a patchwork of squares that together form a compete picture.
The card pictured below on the left has two different sides of the same patterned paper in a staggered pattern. The Terracotta Tile and the Old Olive cardstock orders are also switched on both cards. The "grout" on one card is Old Olive and Terracotta Tile on the other.
Which card do you like best - the card on the left with 2 patterned papers or the one on the right with 1 patterned paper? Let me know which card you like best in the comments below!
I hope you give this patchwork Designer Series Paper card a try. What patterned papers will you use? I would love to see what you create! Post a project photo on my Facebook page today! I can't wait to see what you create!
Thanks for stopping by!
