Tissue Paper in Card Making? Stampers Q&A

April 22nd, 2011

Did you know using tissue paper or crepe paper in card making is a hot trend right now?  I’ve been seeing it here and there, and when I saw the challenge over on the Moxie Fab blog, I knew I wanted to jump on the wagon!  Their challenge was to make a card using tissue paper in a creative way.

Oh, so you ask, "How do I use tissue paper in card making?".  There are so many things you can so with it!  One of my favorites is rolling it up and making flowers, or pleating and ruffling it for a fun border.

When I thought about the challenge, I immediately knew I wanted to make a present with the super fabulous Sweet Stitches Designer Paper that I also used on yesterday’s Easter card!   I also used some hot new products from the upcoming Summer Mini Catalog by Stampin’ Up (e-mail me if you haven’t received your copy!).

This resulted in a bright and fun card to tuck into a gift.  Who wouldn’t be delighted to get this?
