One of the things I love the most about stamping/papercrafting is that it never gets old. There are so many techniques, images, papers, embellishments, and folds available to use when making cards that it is possible to cycle through them again and again without getting bored. Today’s tutorial is an irresistible technique that has been around forever and is like magic every time.
Take a look at the video tutorial and download the pdf for reference to use when trying this fun technique.
