I appreciated this idea from fellow demonstrator Rachel Tessman, and with the Glorious Gingham Designer Series Paper ON SALE through June, knew it was time to share it with you! It’s a fabulous way to get 4 angled corner backgrounds from one 6″ x 6″ piece of Designer Series Paper, and you’ll love how simple it is.

Lay a ruler down and mark 1-1/2″ on each bottom right corner as you rotate the paper 90-degrees four times. Mark it on the BACK SIDE of the paper you want to use, then you don’t have to worry about erasing lines! Then connect the marks across from each other like this:

Use your Paper Trimmer to cut along each of your lines and you’ll have 4 angled pieces to put in the corners of your card fronts:
