Hi! Today I have a fun card using patterned paper and other goodies from the March card kit by SimonSaysStamp. If you want to win this card kit read along!
video tutorial
You can enjoy the video below or at my YouTube channel

I created my card using a couple of the patterned papers. In the video I go through the design principles and how you can follow the same idea to make similar cards with any paper pad that you have at home!
To get a vintage look I inked up the edges with vintage photo and created a few slits.
Cut out images from the patterned paper and tack them under the slits to create interest!
I also used my new deckle paper trimmer to get those lovely edges!
The sentiment was a combination of the two dies included in the kit and I also added a few gems for that extra something!

Can’t remember but I usually eyeball it. Just cut them 3″ 1/4 x 5″ 1/2 and from there trim the edges to make them smaller that the actual card.
Vicki — I love those little flowers slipped behind the torn openings in your patterned paper. (Note to self: USE that great idea!) Thanks for encouraging me to use my patterned paper instead of just collecting (vs hoarding, I NEVER hoard ;-)!!!) it.
So appreciate your creativity. You INSPIRE.
Just like the card says — this is beautiful!!
