Bit by bit of Designpaper #5 + VIDEO

Today is about a couple of cards I have made for the Danish Operation Write Home - Operation Skriv Hjem. At the moment I have a serie on their blog about using your 12x12 inch designpaper the best way possible for cards. 

The focus this time is how to use designpaper where you have illustrations only in the corners of the designpaper. These can sometimes be a bit tricky to use on cards, especially if the illustration seem too large for a card. 


You can read my blogpost in Danish HERE

I have made a video of how I go to this task as my goal is to use the designpaper in the most efficient way possible.

One of my best tips are to use rectangle stax dies as a guide to visually build up the look of your card. 


Here is another card made out of the same piece of designpaper. 



The sentiment means Congrats in English. 


Have a good day, 
Pia :)
