In this video, I’m going to show you 2 easy and fabulous ways to use your paper scraps to make WOW cards! I love creating with Designer Series Papers and when I can use as much of a sheet or pack as I can, it makes my creative spirit so happy. So having some go to scrappy card layouts and techniques like the Floating Strips makes doing so even easier.
My cards feature one of my all time favorite Designer Series Papers, Perennial Lavender, and the wonderful You Are Remarkable Stamp Set for the sentiment. For those of you watching, I remind you that you can create these same cards using papers and stamp sets you already own. If you, however, wish to purchase the Stampin’ Up! products I use in this video, please click here or on the light green button/bar near the end of this blog post.
