10 Ways to Turn Difficult Scrapbooking Papers into Cards

Handmade Card created by Sarah Phelan from Sarah's Stampin' Retreat using the Recollections Bloomsbury Paper Pad

Hello Crafters! How are you? Today I’m launching a new mini-series! Now, it’s going to be a little sporadic, with videos here and there, but I’ve challenged myself to use up an entire paper pad!! I’ve not made life easy for myself and chosen a small one, I’ve gone for a hefty 48 pager in 12″ x 12″ format! Now, realistically, I’m probably going to use up 24 pages with card ideas, and then repeat them as there are 2 of each pattern in the pad, but I will use them! I wanted to do this because I have A LOT of patterned paper, and although I use a lot, I’m not sure if I’ve ever completely used up an entire pad, and I know I’m not alone in this! So this video on how to use your difficult scrapbooking papers for cardmaking is the start!

Do you ever buy a pack of beautiful scrapbooking paper for your cardmaking, but then there are those few large format 12″ x 12″ pages that seem almost impossible to use on your cards? That’s where this video can help! There are 2 designs like this in my paper pad and I challenged myself to use those first as I knew they would be the most difficult! I’m hoping this video gives you some ideas as to how to look at those pages a little differently and use them creatively to make cards. I created 10 using these 2 pages as the focal points. Check out the video below if you’re looking for some ideas!
