Many Thanks Stamped Card - Using Up Patterned Paper

Thanks for visiting me today!  I think there are three main reasons it is satisfying to use your 6x6 patterned paper pads.  #1) Using your stash makes all your cardmaking supply purchases feel justified.  #2) When you use a bunch, you can go shopping for more patterned paper! #3) To play along with CraftyHazelnut’s May Patterned Paper challenge!  Can you think of any more??

All the blue in this card project is older patterned paper that I am trying to use up.  Formerly, I had been hoarding some of the papers that I really love, but now I am trying to use them!




This card has layers of patterned paper, and it also the stamping has been done on patterned paper, and I paper-pieced the flowers from scraps.  

Supplies: Just for Fun Rubber Stamps High Wheeler Bicycle Motif and Old Time Bicycle Motif stamps, Sentiment Sheet 1, Versafine Onyx Black ink, My Mind’s Eye older 6x6 paper pads (multiple scraps), Die’sire Edgeables Rococo

You can find me on facebook or pinterest, too.

Great card! Love the stamping and paper piecing on the patterned paper; awesome way to make it unique. I, too, am a paper hoarder; not quite sure what I'm saving it for!! Love seeing you put yours to good use, lol!

I just wanted to mention that I get emails for all your posts, and while I can't seem to find the time to comment like I used to, I look at, and enjoy, ALL your projects! Keep the inspiration coming!

Hi Heidi, I love the second reason to use up our patterned papers! I also have a stash of pretty papers I have hoarded or save for something really special... I'm using some right now.... Love the pretty layers and papers with the stamping over the top of the paper. The card looks fantastic. Have a wonderful week... Megan

What a great idea! Some fussy cutting on some of my papers might work with this design.
