Happy Monday, everyone! We are kicking off this week with this month’s Designer Details post featuring Virginia Nebel, one of our Crop & Create educators! Virginia is so good at explaining why things work in papercrafting, and today we have a special treat for you: a design discussion on patterned paper!

Virginia excels at mixing and matching patterned papers to create beautiful, complex pages, and today, she’s sharing some tips with us!

Watch as Virginia explains how she used patterned paper—up to 8 pieces on one layout!—to create some of her favourite pages:

We hope you’ve been inspired to grab your favourite patterned papers and give mixing and matching them a try this week! Be sure to tag us on social media using the #sctmagazine hashtag to let us know what you learned from Virginia’s discussion, and meet us back here tomorrow for more inspiration!
