Hi, Judy here today! I am featuring a Paper Weaving Background Card made by weaving paper strips. It’s easy and a good way to use paper scraps. I used papers from my stash that I painted on both sides. Pattern papers can be use as well. Simply choose a coordinating color paper for the mat. Once I started, I made several with different greetings.
Paper Weaving
Cut several contrasting 0.5-inch strips of painted or patterned papers. Choose a strip and use E-Z Squares® Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive square at one end. Secure it vertically near right edge of a 3.5 x 5.5-inch white cardstock piece. Adhere three more strips next to first one with adhesive only at top end. Off set the top edges.
Use E-Z Squares® Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive to one end of a contrasting strip, weave it under and over strips and adhere near the top with right edge flush with the white cardstock panel. Trim the edge to make edge even. At this point only right end is fastened. Trim length as desired.
Continue to weave horizontal strips and trim to different lengths. Add vertical strips as desired. Once weaving is complete, apply an adhesive square with E-Z Squares® Refillable Dispenser on ends that aren’t adhered down and trim right edge even.
Fasten to Card
Use white cardstock to make 4.25 x 6.25 inch side fold card. Cut teal mat 3.75 x 5.75 inches.
Use E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive to back of woven paper piece and fasten it to teal mat. Then apply adhesive to back of it and fasten on card front.
Greeting
Stamp greeting with black ink on white cardstock and heat emboss with clear embossing powder. Use coordinating die to cut it out.
Place Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix on back of greeting, peel off liners and fasten on card.
Thanks for visiting!
