5 Ways to Add Embellishments to Your Patterned Papers

Hello Crafters! How are you? I’ve got a lovely video to share with you today, all about how to add embellishments to your patterned papers. I HAD to buy this gorgeous patterned paper from Artemio, I LOVE the colours and the illustrations are sooo cute!! I bought the matching ephemera too, so these cards are pretty quick to create as well as a lot of them have ephemera as the focal point.

Look out for the tip on cutting up those difficult to use 12″x12″ images to create pretty backgrounds! I love doing this so that I don’t waste any of the sheets in a paper pack. You can also use a lot of these embellishment techniques to add a little extra to some of the more boring papers in patterned paper packs you have to hand.

Check out the video below to see the tutorial for all of these cards, then scroll to the bottom of the post to find links to the supplies you will need to create it!
