Want to Use Your Paper Scraps To Make a Simple Frame Card Layout?

April 20, 2023July 15, 2022 by Jackie

How cool it is to create a frame card layout using some paper scraps! Use any stamps, paper, and inks you have on hand to make this card. This is one of my favorite layouts because I can use up paper scraps.

The frame card layout works great with cardstock scraps too! I am featuring the Nature’s Prints stamp set and Sun Prints Designer Series Paper, but make sure to watch the video to see some other fun ideas with this layout.
