Hello Everyone!

I am here today with another video for my Simplicity Series!  So grab your paper and scissors and let's create some cards!

For this project we are going to continue to cut more paper strips...  Now you can do this with a pair of scissors or a craft knife and ruler...  

Now the fun part, create your puzzle design!  That is really all we are doing, is moving the paper around and creating a design...  

This brought back so many memories of when I use to make borgello quilts!  That was my inspiration for these...

Pattern paper is can do so much for us in our craft, so let's make sure we get the most out of it, right?!?

Hello Everyone!

I am here today creating some cards only using our pattern paper!  Yup another episode in our Simplicity Series...

Let's also talk about mats and measurements...  In the stats we generally use an A2 size card (4 1/4 inches x 5 1/2 inches)...

Your mats can be any size you like...

I usually use 1/8 inch or 1/4 inch as a difference between each level!

So grab your paper and scissors (or paper trimmer) and lets create some cards!

Hello Everyone!

Here today making another card in our Simplicity Series!  There is so much available to the paper crafter, but do we really need all the tools?  I am here to say no...

Paper, scissors, adhesive and your imagination is really all you need!

Grab your favorite paper pad you have been hording and page through to find those images or even fussy cut an image and that would be perfect to create your frame arrangement!  You can either use an image or even a section of one of the pattern papers to create this card.

When cutting out my focal points I like to mat them again a solid piece of card stock and the best part you those value packs are perfect for this!

Hello Everyone!

For today's project let's make an open faced card front, and only using supplies we already have in our stash and no fancy gadgets!

I am going to use one my 6 x 6 paper pads I have had for awhile sitting in my stash!  I used one of the sheets with the cut outs and then matted them onto a solid piece of kraft or black card stock.

One they were ready A cut a piece of scratch card stock at 4 1/4 in x 5 1/2, the size of our card base and started placing my matted images around making sure there was open space in between some of them.

Once they were set the glueing commenced!

My card base was cut 4 1/4 in x 6 in scored at 5 1/2 in.  This tab is what I connected my card front to.

I cut a piece of the patter paper with a great web design and made sure my sentiment panel sat inside the card just behind the panel!

Hello Everyone!

In a previous post I had taken the leap to try making a Bridge Card, yes very much inspired by Jennifer McGuire!  ...and I loved the outcome!

​But I saw that I was using all of those gadgets that we have collected...  so I thought.....

Lets make them but this time only using pattern paper!  So Episode 12 of our Simplicity Series was created, LOL...

Dig into those stashes of pattern paper and get to cuttin'...

Hello Everyone!

I am here today with Episode 11 in our Simplicity Series for card making.  It is very easy in this craft to get overwhelmed...  so many techniques, so many products, and so many ideas!

Paper itself can provide texture and design in one cut...  So lets see how with just paper, scissors, adhesive and your imagination beautiful art is created!
