Our new mulberry paper, coming in November Online Exclusives, is a beautiful blend of strength and character.

Lightweight and softly translucent, it adds an elegant layer to cards and scrapbook projects. Curious what products and techniques work well with mulberry paper? Check the table below.

• Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and embossing folders

Card #1 is not simply a fun-fold greeting card - it is perfect for adding some extra pizzazz to your summer scrapbooking! Make it on your own at home and change the papers for Holiday Scrapbooking Fun! 

Sooooo, this "card" uses several techniques! Washi tape that coordinates with dies (I know y'all have been wanting to use it)! Powder Embossing! Masking off directly on the stamp sets! PLUS, it is a super cool fun-fold! It looks like a fun card but when you open it, flaps pop out to either side giving you several spots to attach pictures or ephemera from your trip, or fun stamped/die-cut images! The center is perfect for journaling, or writing a greeting if you are sending love to someone 💑

There are just so many fabulous new sets and the new HOT FOILING SYSTEM, card #2 will showcase both! A gorgeous new set, Fern and Flora (this paper is to die for!) and the Hot Foil System! You will even have several extra foiled sentiments to take home with you!
