Scrapbook Paper Collections are not just for Scrapbooking. These patterned and colored paper collections are now used for lots of paper crafting and mixed media crafts. Papercraft collections these days are gorgeous, playful, sophisticated, and inspiring. When you find one that speaks to you and your style, you want to use it in lots of different ways. Well, you can! Paper Crafts are a large and growing craft that combines paper with other kinds of craft supplies like wood, metal and other materials.
At Craft Warehouse we use our favorite paper collections for lots of projects. Here we wanted to show you how you can get so many different looks from the same paper collection. This particular collection is called “Gingham Farm” from My Mind’s Eye. It has that farmhouse style charm that is so popular right now. It translates well to home decor, however, any collection you like can do the same for you.
