Step it up! Sounds like fun, yes? Well, when it comes to paper crafting it really can be fun! "Stepping it up" is a way of taking a simple card design or layout and adding something to it to change it up just a little bit -or a lot! It's a great technique to practice as a beginner - you can start simple and add as you learn new techniques, or as a seasoned stamper - allowing you to keep challenging yourself. Here is one recent example, from my first My Paper Pumpkin kit:
I used the example that came with the kit to create the top left card. Then I changed each subsequent card up just a bit, adding punched paper and twine to give the card texture and dimension.
I really changed up some of the cards, but even a little change can make a big impact. Give it a try today and let me know what you think!
