Hello there!
I have a new video to share with you. This one I did for Studio Calico using their new January Kit called County Fair and some add-on kits. I show an easy way to create chevron (zig zag borders). These are fun to create and would work on cards or scrapbook pages.
Give it a try – it is easier than it looks! 
Winners! We have winners. The three lucky folks getting spots in Clean & Simple Card Making are Cardcrazed (karen G), Sharon M. and Maggie Haroldson. Yay!

Congratulations to the winners!!
gorgeous technique and so so useful… Thanks so much for sharing!!!
fabulous technique. thank you so much for the video, Jennifer! love love your cards!
Jennifer, what a stunning set of cards! I love the chevron design and gorgeous mix of pps that you used! Thanks for the brilliant video!
What a fun border idea! Thanks, Jennifer!
The chevron borders is a wower! When used in a card and complimented with the button and twine it looked stunning! Love the details of the card. The video is also remarkable. The audio is clear.
I’m digging through my paper to start cutting strips! Thank you for another idea.
I love the look of this card—and you make it seem so easy to do!! I would have never thought to place the strips of paper down on the scrap paper the way you did to create this look. In fact, if I had seen this card without the instructions, there is no way I would have ever attempted to achieve it as this is not the way I would have gone about it. In other words, if there is a long way to do it, I would have found it….lol Also, on a side note, I want to tell you how much I appreciate the quality of your videos—not just the content but also everything about the presentation. I can always count on the volume levels being the same (and not jumping out of my skin when the video starts), there’s no annoying intro music or blabbering about stuff that has nothing to do with nothing over what the video is about. Thank you for getting it right every single time =)
Què hi tinc jo a veure, digueu-me homes,
amb les espases i les batalles?
L’única estrella que prenc per guia
és la del gaudi i de la música.
Feliç any 2012 !!
I LOVED this video so much that I have already tried the technique. You are an amazing teacher. Thank you so very much for all of the techniques I have learned from you and all of the inspiration you have given to me.
Awesome idea! What kind of tape runner were you using?
I really like your videos, very clear and concise. Wanted to try the chevron technique with scraps. It turned out to be VERY time-consuming, and harder than it looks. But made neat cards. I used 4 black and white patterned papers.
A suggestion: Use sticker paper instead of using your tape roller.
I totally concur w/ Vicky!! I love the look of these cards & tried it over the weekend. It took me over two hours!! Glad it wasn’t just me!! Now that I’ve done it, it should be easier next time!!
Ditto on the kudos everyone else posted. It will be a good project to do while watching TV — at least cutting the strips part. It lends itself to any occasion just by changing the papers. Great tips along the way, as always.
thanks for the video! It turned out great. I definitely want to learn this technique. I also see you are a designer for Hero Arts. Love their stamps and glad I found your blog to see project ideas. Thanks again.
Thanks for the technique video – I had seen the cards and wondered how you did the Chevron.
You are my hero. Love. Like a ton.
I thought i was so over Chevron until I just found this…. I can’t believe how completely fresh and cool it looks like this.
Love, love, love this technique. I had a lot of fun cutting paper strips and making chevron borders. Hope to have a picture of my creation on my blog before the end of the week.
Thanks for the excellent share.
What a wonderful technique Jennifer. Thank you for making it look so easy. I will have to give it a try.
