Velvet Meadow Patterned Paper Says it All

Wow! Have you SEEN our new patterned paper collection? So many gorgeous patterns topping it off with Velvet Meadow: a mixture of bright/bold colours with sof/subtle accents. Here's a great way to use 1.25 inch scraps of various patterns in the pack. Since they all colour match so beautifully, pick 3 to matte and add your greeting and a focal point. What makes this one so striking is the white heat embossed butterflies on Berry Burst. Love it!

Double Collar Fun Fold showing off the Bloom Boutique patterned paper

I came across the Double Collar Card fold a few months ago and really love who this shows off both sides of coordinating patterned paper. Use it with any in your stash. I use a 2.5 inch wide strip down the middle (the centre floral pattern) then on either side, the reverse pattern measuring 1.75 inches wide each. They overlap a wee bit then fold back the top and bottom inside edges to make the collar look. Anything that doesn't line up perfectly will be hidden by the focal point in the centre. This was my team swap card for May as I really wanted to incorporate the new All Aflutter Bundle and Bloom Boutique patterned paper. Enjoy!
