I had a lot of fun mixing up the patterns in this super cute designer paper on a Facebook Live video. *See it below.
First is a play on triangles. These pieces are just 3/4" wide X 3" long! What a fun way to use your scraps!!
Cut 6 pieces of Designer Paper at 3/4" X 3" and then cut each one from one corner to the opposite one. Now you can piece these together on a contrasting piece of card stock measuring 4" X 5 1/4". Be sure to watch the video below to see how it's done.
The greeting circle is from the Painted Label dies and the greeting is from the Pattern Play stamp set. See the entire suite of Playing with Patterns products here.
Next is a fun card where you cut narrow strips of designer paper and piece them onto a background sheet. Just offset them slightly to create a 'Bargello' look. This is a quilting technique perfect for striped paper!
Which one is your favorite? The colors are Crushed Curry, Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana and Night of Navy.
I like the one below as the Bargello look is more apparent with the dark Navy strips. The greeting dies are from one of my favorites; the Stitched So Sweetly dies in the annual catalog seen here.
Get the details on creating these techniques in the video below.
Remember I host Facebook Live videos 6 times a month! Each Tuesday at 11 am Central Time and the 2nd & 4th Monday's at 7:30 pm CT. Check them out here:
