Let’s face it, as a card maker, we tend to end up with LOTS of little strips of paper, but what do you do with them?
It’s no secret that I LOVE my Designer Series Papers (DSP) and don’t want to waste any of them!
Today I have a sweet birthday card I created in my Tuesday YouTube LIVE where I used some of my little strips of paper to create a colorful background that highlights my focal point. What a fantastic way to avoid wasting all those wonderful prints & patterns.
I love that you can easily customize this background to use any colors or patterns you want with this technique!
Did you know I am doing some LIVE papercrafting every Tuesday at 12:30PM ET on my YouTube Channel? Jump on over and Subscribe to my channel now to be sure to get notifications when I go LIVE. Looking forward to seeing you and your crafty friends Tuesday for our next LIVE papercrafting.
Sweeten your crafting with the Sweetest Cherries Stamp Set and coordinating Cherry Builder Punch. Stamp one cherry or a bucketful. Top off your cherry-themed card with a message for your favorite people. Say happy birthday, thank you, or simply let them know you’re thinking of them. You’ll use this set over and over.
I love that you can currently purchase these coordinating products in a bundle and save 10%!
