My Little Paper World

Hooray! I'm on the StickerKitten blog sharing yet another set of three cards I created using the Unicorn Fairground Collection Box!  You can view the original blog post here with full instructions on how to create these cards below.  These cards were a lot of fun to create - playing with the weave technique and exploring other ways to create a background using strips of paper! Here are another two card examples: If you haven't seen the next collection box from StickerKitten ....you should!

Happy Crafting!

Hello! Last month I received my first collection kit from StickerKitten . With it I created a fun set of three cards (you can view them here .) Soon after as I was cleaning up the mess I had made I came up with another layout to use up some more ephemera and pattern paper from their paper packs.

I don't often choose to work with ephemera because I love stamping so much but I was able to create three relatively simple cards under an hour - which for me is actually a world record! Below are some step by step instructions on how I created this card. I’ve kept the instruction simple – because the same process can be applied to all three cards. The main tip I have is to take your time with the stamping of the chevrons – I used my M.I.S.T.I tool which helped immensely because I could align and repeat the stamping process ...
