Making the most of your paper


Hello! I wanted to share with you a quick card and idea about how to make the most of your fabulous designer series paper. If you are like me you do not want to cover it up or waste any of it and so I have a quick little tip. Use one of your large dies to cut out a piece and save for another project. In the card I made today I used a piece from my you're a peach dsp (which is 15% off this month) for a card I made on Saturday (I used the other side which is green shapes for that card).
 

I just wanted to use the paper as a bottom layer for my card but I didn't want to waste the center that would not be seen so I grabbed my stitched so sweetly dies and using the largest die I cut the center out. I saved it and used it on the card I made today.


For the greeting I used the stitched so sweetly die again after white heat embossing the sentiment from the sweet as a peach bundle (remember you save 10% when you purchase the bundles). a quick little wrap of white baker's twine behind the greeting. Then for a little texture I used the plenty of pattern masks and my blending brushes using a subtle pale papaya ink on pale papaya cardstock. The real focal point it this gorgeous paper so I didn't want to cover it up. Keeping is simple. 
Today would have been my grandma's 120th birthday! She was so special to me and I like to think that she can see this card in heaven. I know she is having a great birthday! I hope you have a great day also!
