How to create the Twisted Ribbon Technique With Designer Paper Strips. A great technique to use scraps of designer paper. These cards resulted from the Holly and I Mystery Stamping last month or so. I have the replay of the recording video at the bottom.
I repeatedly hear, “I have so much Designer Paper, and I don’t know what to do with it. Well, these card layouts are great to use on that designer paper sitting around your room collecting dust.

Hi Frenchie,, have a question.
Thank you for catalogs!
In the mini catalog, page 31, milky dots, and page 37 enamel dots essentials,,,, are these somewhat flat?
The Milky one are about the thickness of pearls and the dot are flatter I would say friendly to mail
