Create a cheerful card with a colourful gingham pattern. By combining different shades, you create a playful checked design that instantly stands out. This project is perfect for card making and can be finished with a personal message for any occasion.
Punch 12 squares in a dark colour, 12 white squares and 24 squares in a light colour from paper or cardstock using a 0.6 x 0.6 inches (1.7 x 1.7 cm) square punch.

Cut a piece of cardstock to 4 x 5.3 inches (10.2 x 13.6 cm). Apply glue to the card step by step as you work.
