We've all got them....left over strips of pretty patterned paper we simply can't bring ourselves to part with. Let's put them to good use!
When digging through my stash of retiring patterned paper, I found the Tea Boutique paper scraps were a perfect size! Lots of small patterns - some busier than others - boasting a variety of bright colours. Ideal for this card layout. Here's the first card I made:
Then during my Creative Escape over Facebook Live on Monday, April 17, 2023 I made this version with the brand new Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper stack coming out May 2, 2023:
Can you see yourself using this over and over? If you're like me you always have scraps to use up and while these are 1" x 4", just use whatever width you have. With 4" long, there's a bunch that gets cut off so you could trim to shorter if you like.
Measurements:
Cardbase: 11" x 4 1/4"
Cardstock layer: 4" x 5 1/4"
Basic White layer (on which you will place your strips): 3 3/4" x 5"
Patterned paper: 1" x 4" (cut 6 to 8 strips)
