You need to try this creative way to use bold paper designs

In today's video, I am going to show you how to create a very simple but very beautiful friendship card. You can change the phrase on your card to match the occasion you need; I am going to use the 'hello' phrase from the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set.

For a long time I have been wondering how to use the Perennial Essence paper - I love the designs and colors used but they are so bold and I didn't know how to feature this paper pack. Until now!

I decided that I would use my Rectangle Stitched framelits pack to create a feature frame around one of my favourite patterns in the Perennial Essence paper. The key to my card is to cut the paper so that the design will sit perfectly inside the frame. You will better understand what I am talking about when you watch my video below.

Here's my card:
