Playful Palette Woven Paper Cards

Hi Stamping Friends!

Every paper crafter falls into one of two categories when it comes to Designer Series Paper scraps: the Pitcher and the Keeper! Which one are you? How small of a piece is too small to keep? Is every piece usable?

Well, truthfully, I'm more of a Pitcher, but I do like to keep long & skinny scraps of DSP so I can make cards like the ones I'm sharing today—Woven Paper Cards! It gives you a good reason (justification) to be a Keeper!

Playful Palette Woven Paper Cards

Use up coordinating paper scraps by creating a little piece of woven art for the front of a card! It's a great way to highlight all of those lovely double-sided Designer Series Paper patterns!

Background Basics—I adhered a 1-1/2"x 5-1/8" piece of Sweet Sugarplum card stock to a 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" layer of Very Vanilla card stock. I stamped a greeting from the Watercolor Wings stamp in Memento Black Ink set near the bottom. It was layered onto a 4" x 5-1/4" Emerald Envy mat, then mounted onto a Basic Black card base.

Woven Paper Focal Point—I started with six 3/4" x 6" strips of different patterns of paper from the same Designer Series Paper stack, so they all coordinate. I used strips from the Playful Palette 6×6" DSP stack.

Weaving TIPS—I laid out the papers to alternate between bold and busy patterns, then started weaving, adhering as I went along.

Start with the two center strips by adhering them together in a "plus" shape.
Then continue adding the outer strips, adhering with SNAIL as you go.
Trim the ends of each strip in staggered lengths that are visually appealing.

Finishing Touches—I popped up the woven paper with Dimensionals, so it looks like a mounted piece of artwork. I added a Basic Black Bitty Butterfly punched shape with a couple of Glue Dots in the center. Next, I decorated the butterfly with some Pearl Jewels, then bent the wings a little. I also added some floating Pearls around the paper weave.

Two Cool—My second version also uses strips from the Playful Palette DSP, but I stuck with the lighter Peekaboo Peach, Blushing Bride and Sweet Sugarplum patterns for a completely different look.

This time I started with a Tip Top Taupe card base, and included Sweet Sugarplum and Sahara Sand layers for a soft neutral backdrop. The butterfly is in Tip Top Taupe. The sentiment is another greeting from the Watercolor Wings stamp set.
