Looking for a masculine card idea with strong lines, bold colors, and tons of texture? This project is all about creating a striking geometric design using 1/4″ strips of cardstock in warm, rustic tones. I adhered the strips to cardstock, then used a stitched square die to cut out perfectly neat little panels. Four squares come together to create a dramatic focal point with a modern quilt-like feel.
