Scrap-a-pa-looza was today's card inspiration. I went digging through my scraps ended up with this delightful card.
I used kraft paper for the background. I rubbed some white ink over the kraft paper to knock it back a bit. Then I added the print paper in the middle with a Tombow tape runner. I don't know the name of this paper, but I know it came in a pack from the dollar store several years ago. Next I punched out a bunch of 1/2 inch circles with my circle punch from Stampin' Up. I then glued those down with Tombow clear glue.
I then added some baker's twine from Recollections around the middle print paper. Lastly I added the wood veneer hearts down the middle with the same Tombow clear glue. I really love the texture this card has from the different types of paper, the twine and the hearts. I have made a couple of projects from this paper and loved how they turned out, even though I didn't love the 12x12 full pattern. Sometimes cutting paper up makes it more appealing.
So the next time you look through your stash and think why did I buy this paper, try cutting it up and seeing if you like it better in smaller pieces.
