Paper Woods

A friend of mine got married over the weekend, so I made her this fun little card.  It’s very simple, but I like how it turned out.

Supplies: patterned paper from Memory Boutique, chipboard heart from Stampin’ Up!, “Blessings” stamp from Be Authentic set by The Angel Company, white craft ink from Stampin’ Up!, ribbon by Offray, peel-and-stick rhinestones from Jewelry Fundamentals

I used Nicole’s great tips on covering chipboard to cover my little chipboard heart with patterned paper.  Her best tip was to leave a little extra paper hanging over the edge, and then file the edges down.  I was always a little nervous to try covering chipboard shapes with paper because I didn’t think that the edges would look that clean - how could I cut it just perfectly so that it didn’t look ragged, you know?  So I was excited to try her tip!  I used a sandpaper sponge I keep with my craft stuff and took off a little more of the paper than she did in her tutorial, but I really like the way it looks - nice and clean.  Thanks for the tip, Nicole!
