CF: Autumn Paper Quilt Card

I've hosted this swap before - let's do it again this year.

Technique recap:

• Cut up a bunch of Autumn-colored/themed paper strips (I tend to use 1/2" strips, but you can do any width you want, or even a combination of widths).

• Adhere the strips side by side to a piece of card stock (see tip), trimming the ends flush with the edges as you go or afterwards. (Tip: Adhesive paper or large labels are a great alternative to a surface for the strips - it saves not having to glue or tape each strip down.)

• Adhere this layer onto a folded card base.

Your strips can go diagonally, horizontally, vertically - however you choose. It's optional to add background layers, embellishments, and/or a verse, quote, word or saying. Sometimes the cards look nice just as they are.

Please add a little note inside the card to your partner. It can be about anything you want (your day, an upcoming fall event you are going to, the weather, etc.). :)

Lastly, please add some happy decor to the outside of your envelope just so we aren't sending plain ole boring envelopes. What fun is that? :)
