Squares are IN(color)!

I'm on a roll with squares this week!  This card uses the 2011-13 IN Colors, a traditional square punch as well as a corner rounder . . .

The little flower motifs were hand-cut and the seam binding ribbon was folded in half and finger pressed.  I CASEd this from Mary Brown because I thought it was such a pretty way to showcase the IN Colors.  And I like making this size cards every so often just to get out of my A2 rut!  This card is the perfect size for your 12x12 paper, because it starts with a 6x6 square!  Hey, another SQUARE!

Patchwork Punchin'

I love punches! They make 'piece-work' so fast and easy . . . kinda like mini-quilting!  This card showcases the Postage Stamp punch.

 

TIP:  I lined up a ruler just to the right of the left card edge so that I could lay the middle vertical row of squares up against it.  When I was happy with the alignment, I added the right vertical row and the left vertical row just by sight. I used just a dab of adhesive to get all the squares where I wanted them, then came back and added more adhesive and pressed all the squares down.
