This month, the Be Inspired Team are sharing ideas to inspire you with Patterned Paper.
If you’re anything like me, then you probably have plenty of paper to use, yet you also can’t resist new and pretty papers! This is why I’m always on the lookout for creative ways to use my patterned papers and share them with others whenever I post out my cards.
If you aren’t starting the Be Inspired Blog Hop here, then chances are you’ve just popped over from my friend Brian King. Don’t worry, all the links for the Blog Hop are at the end of my post, so you can easily click on each one and see all our Be Inspired projects.
Now, let’s take a closer look at my project for today. This fun fold design is a great way to showcase any patterned paper, as it allows you to add panels of paper to each section.
For this card, I used the Elegant Pine Snowflakes 12″ x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Designer Series Paper. It’s absolutely gorgeous, featuring patterns of greenery, holly, and eucalyptus in moody blues and mossy greens.
I often will take inspiration from the patterned paper and this card was no exception, the front images on the card was stamped using the Delicate Pines Snowflakes in Shaded Spruce and Old Olive.
