Hello Stampers,
Today I have an awesome tip on how to economize the Forever Greenery Designer Paper with a faux illusion. This is such a fun way to add designer paper to your card. With one sheet of 12 x 12, you will have 9 card front. Sure look like it is a layer of Pear Pizzazz at the top but it is not. I have all the detail and tips in the video.
You can view the video at the bottom of this post or on my YouTube channel.
Measurements
- Whisper White 8½ x 5½ score at 4¼, 2¼ x 2 for the flower
- Pear Pizzazz 5¼ x 4
- Forever Greenery Designer Paper 4 x 3-7/8 cut diagonal on the 4″ side (all shown in the video on how to)
Faux Illusion
The designer paper is only one piece of 4 x 3-7/8 that is cut diagonal on the 4″ side. I didn’t measure any of the diagonal. Just place the paper on the paper trimmer diagonal and cut. You will notice none have the same angle. No need to measure, these are quick you will see how it is done in the video. Some a wave hand cut you can see on the picture with 2 cards the ones on the right has the wave.
You will adhere one piece at the top and one piece at the bottom. The center is from the first layer that gives that faux illusion. I bet when you first glance at this card you thought it was a diagonal piece of Pear Pizzazz at the top, well it is not it all one piece just the designer paper that gives that illusion.
