Just For Fun

You know how crafty friends share things.  Last week my friend Michele made some cards from patterned paper that she saw in a video that was highlighted on Leslie Miller's blog post.  You can click the links to see the video and the cards that Michele and Leslie made.  I decided to try it too.  


Michele and Leslie both had trouble with measurements and while I didn't think I did, I saw after the fact that I hadn't left a space along the diagonal line between patterns.  The difference in prints from the Paper Rose pack might have shown up better with the border but the way I did it fit perfectly on an A2 card. To finish it off I used the smallest SB Modern Oval, stamped a sentiment from PTI and added a leaf from Altenew's Adore You.   

The way you cut the paper gives you enough for a second card.


This one is arranged on Kraft cardstock with the leaf in HA Soft Brown. 

Thanks for dropping by.  I hope you give this fun card a try.  It's a good way to use up some of that patterned paper you are hoarding. 😉

Pretty cards. You did great matching up the papers. I like the 2nd card with the kraft frames best. TFS

It looks just as pretty without the space between the diagonals Bobby, and I absolutely LOVE the dsp you used!! Both of your cards are so perfect for sympathy cards, and now you have a couple when you need them! Well done!! Hugs. :0)

I just love that paper, Bobby!! The leaf and design of that Adore you set was just the ticket!
I'd love to know more about that Paper Rose collection when you have a moment to spare!

What pretty paper for this technique, Bobby! The pairing with the kraft works beautifully and I love how you've added the sentiment with the little leaf on top!
