Hello Crafters! How are you? Today I have the fourth installment of my paper pad use-up series!! For those of you that have been following along, thank you SO MUCH for your support!! I have been so happy to see all of the lovely responses that I’ve had to this series! For those of you who are new around here -- I’m on a mission to create cards to use up an entire pad of patterned paper!! Mostly because I’m TERRIBLE at buying them and then only using a few sheets, and I’m sure I’m not the only one!! If you’d like to see the rest of the series so far, you can find the other installments HERE (we’ve already made 25 cards!). For this instalment I decided to focus on the BORING patterned papers!! You know the ones I mean, the ones that you either skip over or just have as innocuous backgrounds?! I decided to see what I could do to make them really INTERESTING, even, in some cases, the focus of the cards!!

I’ve a few tips and tricks along the way, and I hope you’ll agree that the results are really different!
