Grid Style Cards. Video

Hello! Today we are talking about using grids when making cards! Grid-style cards are cards with multiple elements, where the placement of the element is defined by a grid.

DETAILS

It is a very easy and fun type of card to make and one that works best when using smaller size elements. When you have a smaller die cut or smaller stamped image, the grid helps to house that element on your card without it looking weird or out of place. The grid helps to divide the card background into smaller sections that are easier to work with and easier to fill.

Example of 2×2 grid

If I can compare this to a blank page – a blank page usually feels rather intimidating because of all of that white or blank space. But as you scale the page down, as you make it smaller, it becomes less and less intimidating and makes it easier to work with. The same applies to grid-style cards. When you have a grid, it is easier to fill in the space of each section.

Example of 3×3 grid

If you want to use a larger sentiment, you can house it inside of one of the grid sections as shown on the examples above. The 2×2 one can have the sentiment in any section, while for the 3×3 it is best to place the sentiment in the center.

Have fun crafting!
