Torn Paper Technique

This is a really cool technique and it’s so easy to do. You can tear the white cardstock and have some patterned paper peek through or tear the patterned paper and have the sentiment peek through.

Watch the video to see how to make these cards. I’ll have the instructions below.

Tips & Instructions

• Thick Basic White Card Base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 4 1/4

• Blackberry Bliss Layer - 5 1/4 x 4

• Basic White Layer - 5 x 3 3/4, tear middle of the layer to create the scroll. There is no measurement that I used. Tear off about half of the piece and then roll on something thin. I used a cotton swab. Remove the cotton swab and then add a little Liquid Glue to hold it in place.

• Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper - 4 3/4 x 3 1/2 (you can cut it smaller if you want). Adhere behind the white layer, lining up the edge to the white edge.

• Adhere layers to Blackberry Bliss Layer and then adhere to card base.

• Stamp sentiment with Blackberry Bliss Ink on 5/8” strip of Basic White and punch each end with the Banners Pick A Punch. The sentiment is from the Beautifully Happy Sale-a-bration Stamp Set.

• Punch both ends of a 3/4” strip of Blackberry Bliss and adhere to the stamped banner. Adhere to card using Dimensionals.

• Add some Adhesive-Backed Milky Dots.

On the inside layer stamp the sentiment with Blackberry Bliss Ink and add a 5 1/4 x 3/4 strip of the Designer Series Paper. The sentiment is from the Sentimental Park Stamp Set.

I made this card by rolling back the patterned paper and stamping the sentiment on the white layer peeking through.

I used the Regency Park 6x6 Designer Series Paper and cut it to 5 x 3 3/4. Tear and roll back and lay over a 5 1/4 x 4 piece of Basic White to get placement for the sentiment.

Tip - Use a smaller block to stamp so you don’t move the paper when you are stamping. The sentiment is from the Sentimental Park Stamp Set. The card base and ink is Night Of Navy and I added Night Of Navy Adhesive-Backed Milky Dots.

I didn’t add a sentiment to the inside layer and added a 5 1/4 x 3/4 strip of the Designer Series Paper.

The measurements and steps are the same for this as for the first card. I used the Regency Park 6x6 Designer Series Paper, Night Of Navy Cardstock and Ink. The sentiment is from the Sentimental Park Stamp Set. I used the Brushed Butterflies as my embellishment.

On the inside layer stamp the sentiment with Night Of Navy Ink and add a 5 1/4 x 3/4 strip of Designer Series Paper.
