Great idea!

I really appreciate you demonstrating your templates. They will be really handy. Using little scraps to build dimension is a GREAT tip!

Interesting design tips. Thanks for sharing your ideas on using that patterned paper that just seems to sit there for me.

Thanks for sharing your thought process with difficult patterned paper. It does help me a lot. I will be looking at my paper differently from now on.

Great helps Jess! Love outside the box thinking! 😊

These would make great a great gift set.

The end results are fabulous. Thanks for sharing!

I appreciate your explanation of ways to use challenging paper designs and prints. I always learn new ideas from your videos, thank you.

You did a beautiful job! These cards are so bold & bright. Thanks for the ideas. I'm definitely going to try these layouts. Love, love, love.❤

Fantastic ideas, Jess. Thanks so much for being so kind to share your ideas. I thought turning that paintbrush around to look like a bowl was genius. ❤❤❤

Awesome ideas on the use of the paper. Thanks Jess.

Great ideas and cards made Jess!! Thank you! 💜✨

I like how you think. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing this, I have received some of the free items and I wonder what on earth I'm going to do with them, because they just aren't my style. This is a great example of changing things up to where they don't even look like the original theme, yet still make a great card. Especially for papers that might be geared more toward scrapbooking than cards. I like how you explain your thought process throughout, and keep the pace of the video moving along. These videos are very helpful!

Awesome 5x7 and very helpful for difficult patterns Thank you.

Beautiful cards Jess 🥰 I love your card designs and your tips ❤️ thanks for sharing your creativity Hugs xx

OK Jess I Really liked this one!! I can also see myself using it, a Lot. Love your ideas & how your mind works, Thanks so much for sharing, I am trying to use 5 X 7's more often now!💙💙💙

Thank you for explaining your thoughts and very helpful 🎉. Now to tackle those challenging papers.

Love your great ideas! Keep up the great work!

Thank you for this video and this sketch! I just ran across this problem with another paper pad. I used as much as I could and put it aside. Think I’ll go back to it with this wonderful sketch! 👍

Great video for those 6 x 8 paper pads!

I adore your templates, but I would have made that paint brush into a slim-line card 😅

Thanks! I will probably make the other page from the pad into a slimline because I like that best, but I thought it was kind of cool how it ended up looking like a pot.

love this video 💚

Thank you for making this video. I have the exact same paper and was also wondering what am I gonna do with some of these pages?

Awesome! So glad it was helpful!

Another thing to keep in mind with a sketch like this is that you don't have to cut the patterned paper page exactly the same on both halves. For instance, using this particular sketch, if you found that the bottom right quadrant/section of your patterned paper worked well as the 3x4" piece (as you did with the paintbrush paper), while the bottom right also worked well for that (for the second card), just use those 2 diagonally opposite sections for your larger panels & cut the other 2 sections (top left & bottom right) into your 3x1" strips. Of course, that would only work with the sketch if you were breaking the cutting diagram into equal sections. Again with this particular sketch, the 3x1" strips section is essentially just 4 equal strips from one 3x4" panel, which is the same size as your larger panel. In other words, the basic cutting template in this sketch is 4 equal quadrants, with 2 cut additionally into strips. I kind of wonder if this makes any sense. It's so hard to explain without a visual. Anyway, just another way to think outside the box a bit. Thank you for sharing your sketch/template & cards, Jess. I am always amazed that you can cut accurately and talk about something else at the same time. I'm not sure I could cut everything right without concentrating on just that. LOL Anyway, take care, & I hope you have an amazing day! :)

Could you have used the paint brush handle as a focal point and all the plain brown/blue as strip's?
