July 20, 2021
Today I'll show you How to Let the Magic of Sweet Symmetry Designer Paper Design Your Next Card. The Sweet Symmetry Designer Series Paper has a wonderful way of putting the colors & designs together so card making is very simple-- it's hard to go wrong!
Starting with...
The first step is selecting 3 prints that share colors --- this is simple since most all designs share color with other designs. I select one with a directional design (e.g. stripes), one with definite pattern, & one color on color-- it can have a pattern but mostly one color. Here's the card--
After picking the patterns it's easy to select the card base & layers (Bumblebee, So Saffron, Vanilla, Just Jade), inks for stamping (Calypso Coral, Just Jade) as well as the ribbon. The paper pretty much designs the card for you.
This design can be utilized for any number of designer papers that have primarily small designs---the larger patterns won't work as well with this because of the small rectangles being used.
Best of all this designer paper is on sale until 8-2-21--order yours while it's on sale!
