FB Live Recap: Hand-Penned DSP Ideas

 

Let’s face it – many of us tend to hoard the beautiful Designer Series Papers that we buy, simply because they are “too pretty” to cut! I admit I am guilty of that too, although lately I’ve been trying to make an effort to use it on my cards and other projects. I did just that with the cards I made for my Facebook Live video this week. I used the Hand Penned Petals bundle and DSP, trying to feature a few different ways to use the gorgeous paper. The basic card layout could be used with any of your favorite papers – just coordinate the cardstock colors.
