For August, my club did this Chevron Background Technique.  This is a great technique for designer paper scraps or just to show off all the coordinating designs in a paper pack.  I used the Iconic Celebrations 6″x6″ designer paper and the Changing Leaves bundle for this card, but also made a few more samples with different paper packages.

This technique is so quick and easy.  I loved the other samples I made too using different paper packs.  My favorites are the Countryside Inn ones (the Boho Blue & Night of Navy cards).  Here’s all the other samples (with some variations as well) that I made using this technique.

And, of course, here’s my technique journal page with the instructions and the mini card sample.  On the mini sample for the book, I used 1/2″ strips.  For the regular size cards, I used mostly 1″ strips, but on one of the Boho Blue cards I used 3/4″ strips.

But wait there’s more…lol…I also did a video for this technique plus showing the baby wipe technique for the inside of the card and the envelope.
