I’m completely obsessed with American Crafts paper pads. There are so many fun things you can create with their unique styles of paper. I never realized just how much I use their paper to craft until recently I made a list of all the things I use paper to create with and it seriously surprised me. I thought it would be a good idea to share with you today all the things I use my American Crafts paper for.
Scrapbooking-This is the more obvious one. A lot of people who don’t craft think that scrapbooking paper is only used to scrapbook. They couldn’t however be any more wrong. Yes, scrapbook paper is perfect for scrapbooking and very durable, but it can also be used for other crafts too. I love to use my American Crafts paper for all my scrapbooking needs. Not only is it unique, but its bold and stunning colors add style and design to every page.
Word Blocks-Many years ago I sold homemade word blocks at a local boutique near my home. To make these word blocks I cut different sizes of 2x4’s, sanded and then painted them. After they paint was dry I added scrapbooking paper with Mod Podge and vinyl lettering on top. These word blocks are so popular & easy to make. The scrapbook paper I use for these blocks is seriously what makes them. The trendy designs that American Crafts creates are perfect for any home decor.
Homemade Cards-I make a lot of homemade cards. I’m part of a card group that makes cards each month and trades them. It’s a lot of fun. I always look forward to creating and seeing what design I’m going to come up with next. It wasn’t until recently that I realized just how much paper I use for these cards. Each card I design has at least two if not three or four different kinds of paper attached to it.
Picture Frames-Picture frames are another great way to use paper. In my home I have taken a bunch of old worn out frames and turned them into something new with some paint & paper. All I did to create new frames for my home was repaint my old frames, add scrapbook paper with Mod Podge & a couple of cute embellishments. My old frames which were ready to be tossed now look new and amazing thanks to the help of some simple paper.
Banners-Another great way to use paper is to make banners for parties or home decor. Banners are very popular right now and I completely love the way they look. I recently made one for my sons 2 Birthday. I love how it turned out and couldn’t have done it without paper.
American Crafts makes an amazing line of scrapbooking paper. I seriously use it for almost every craft project I create.
