Hi crafty friends! Are you ever stuck when you have smaller images that don’t fill up your card? Well, I’m back to share a short video sharing how I created two different cards using custom patterns using smaller images focusing on the new Essentials by Ellen Trufflin’ stamp and die set.
For my first card, I decided to stamp in a black and white look so the rest of the card pops. I started stamping in the corner and worked my way outwards so I had enough space for the last few images. Then, I added some additional chocolates in color to bring focus to my sentiment.
My second card actually features a more subtle use for custom pattern paper and that’s using it for die cuts! Here, I’m using the Library Card Pocket and created a quick pattern in the front. This is super cute because the Treat Yo Shelf stamp and die set works perfectly with this die for a functional library card that your recipient can pull out for any secret messages you may want to include. For this pattern paper, I also used the smaller hearts in the Big Love set to fill in the space around the chocolates.
Tips for creating custom pattern paper:
- Start stamping in the corner of your paper and work your way outwards.
- Use even smaller images to fill in the spacing between images to fill up the background.
