Bargello Technique
There are many techniques that you may use in you paper crafting projects.
One is called Bargello. Traditionally, you cut patterned papers in to strips. Adhere the strips to a piece of paper. Turn the paper 180 degrees, and then cut more strips. These new strips, cut against the grain of the original strips, are adhered to paper again, but in a slightly different position.
Here I used washi tape, instead of the traditional strips. It makes the first step cleaner and easier!
If you know Eyelet Outlet, you know we have a great selection of washi tape.
What other techniques do you use in your paper crafting?
Supplies:
Hope you are safe and warm in this winter weather!

How Do You Make a Rainbow?
Tired of the winter blahs and grey days?
Create your own sunshine and rainbows with Eyelet Outlet Bling Strips this winter.
We also have Fancy Bling Strips.
Our glitter washi tape comes in a variety of widths.
Here I used silver to create the border. It's a great way to create a border, without adding to the bulk of your page or card.
Wishing YOU a wonderful day!

Another Trio of Holiday Favs
This dishes are done and there are plenty of left overs in the fridge.
It's time to get your craft on and create your holiday cards.
Here are 3 more ideas to consider!
Are you a Washi Tape Lover?
Create your own patterned paper using various washi tape in the Christmas/holiday theme.
Putting them at an angle is pleasing to the eye!
How about paper flowers?
Layer our red Paper Flowers with a cardstock cut out...add some pearl bling...
and cut the green paper flowers to add the leaves.
The magic of Christmas makes a poinsettia!! Wow!
Are you one who is eagerly looking for Santa?
Our Mr. & Mrs. Claus Brads make a great focal point on your card,
without having to color them in. This is especially helpful when you are mass producing cards!
Other supplies:
Do you like the style of A Country Christmas?
Create a Barn Door by making 2 scores that have the edges meet in the middle.
Bend our Pewter Round Brads to create the door handles.
Decorate as desired. Here is used the following:
I hope these cards from the past get your creative mojo flowing.
Take a look through your stash and make these ideas your own...
Wishing you the happiest of Christmases and a healthy, peaceful New Year!

Three Faves

Chances are you have great stamps in your crafty alcove.

If you are a fan of wreaths, check out this tip to create a nice circle.
Here I make the wreath on a card stock circle, of the same background as my base.
By doing so, it blends into the background.
