Hey, Friends!!
Just popping in today, with a really fun little collaboration with my fun friend, Rita, over at @harborbreeze on Instagram! She and I shared #papershenanigans posts last year and it was so fun, we decided to do it again! Each of us simply create a paper project to share with you.....any sort of project involving paper! It could be paper home decor, a paper gift to give, cards made from paper.....you get the idea! We each just come up with a paper project to share with you and then, we encourage you to get up to some #papershenanigans of your own and play along, too!! We came up with a fun hashtag to use, so that we can see all of your projects together in one place, and we'll share some of your projects in our Stories, too, so you get a spotlight on your work and we can all be inspired by your creation!!
For my project, I decided to whip up a REALLY simple card set to give a friend for Valentine's Day! The set is quick and easy to make, is super affordable, is something she'll actually be able to USE in the coming year, and is really beautiful, too!! That's a win, win, win, win in my book! ;)
I love that all the black and white almost makes it feel like a toile pattern!
I'll be sharing some quick Pro Tip tutorial videos in my Stories today, to hopefully give you some insight into my color layering on these cards -- I'll show you what a difference it made just to swap the way I was layering the four blue inks I used! And I'll have a design tip for you, too! In both cases, I'm sharing a look at the impact using these little tricks can make in your card making, so I hope you enjoy the videos! I've gotten so much positive feedback on the previous tip videos I've shared there, so I'm happy to keep them coming, as long as they're helpful to you!
When you're over on Instagram, don't forget to check out Rita's project today, too!
I'm also linking all of the products I used on today's cards, below! Hope you try a stack of these pretties out yourself! And don't forget, if you'd like to play along with us, just post your paper project on Instagram, add #papershenanigans and tag me and Rita! @dawnsing and @harbourbreeze
Can't wait to see what you make!!
Have a goodie, Friends!
