It’s Crafty Saturday! Thank you for joining me. Whether you joined me this morning on my Facebook page or whether you’re joining me here, I hope you’re making something crafty this weekend!
When I started making handmade cards, the hardest part for me was knowing how to cut paper. What size did I need? How many layers? I was worried about wasting paper, especially the beautiful Designer Series Paper. Growing up in a household of seamstresses, I knew to measure twice and cut one. Nothing is so frustrating as to cut a fine piece of fabric, or a pretty piece of paper only to have it cut too short.
Don’t be afraid to cut your paper. Go ahead! Give it a try. Post a picture of your cards below, or on my Facebook page. I’d love to see them!
