Technique - Modern Grid

Here are the step by step instructions for creating a card using the “Modern Grid Technique”

1) Stamp your image or images randomly over your cardstock. Feel free to use different colors of inks with your images. I masked a few to add some depth.

2) Now take a ruler and marker and draw lines spaced one inch apart both vertically and horizontally. Make sure you stop your line when you get to the stamped image and then start again on the other side of the image. Depending on the images, I will draw the grid diagonally.

3) Add dots or doodles to some of the squares. You can also color in a few of the squares or just add some shadows to the corners.

Email me or leave me a comment when you try this technique, I’d love to see your card/scrapbook page.

I made these little notecard folders for our German exchange students. I was able to use scraps for the notecard designs and the folder only uses one 8.5 x 11 sheet of cardstock. I added some dazzling diamonds to the chipboard initial on the cover.

The notecards measure 4 x 5 1/4 and fit into A2 envelopes.
