As Bruno Bertucci says, “Love it. Chop it!” and for this card, we’re also going to show it off. We’re talking Designer Series Paper, of course! Create a checkerboard background for your card with this simple design using the Frames & Flowers Specialty Pack.

The Frames & Flowers Specialty 12″ x 12″ Paper is unlike other patterned paper packs. It has three sheets of double-sided designs with floral and greenery designs on one side and all-purpose patterns on the other. And it also has three sheets of die-cut greenery elements that you can use on card fronts or to frame photos on scrapbook pages. As a fun plus, some of the die-cuts are sized to fit card fronts, making it easy to create quick, beautiful cards. This paper is a must for card makers and scrapbookers!
