Scrapbook Paper is Not Just For Scrapbooking
Because scrapbook paper comes in so many different colors, styles, sizes and varieties, we do not have to use it only for scrapbooking.
People tend to think that because they do not have the time to go through pictures, they have no use for it.
Or if they do have some extra time, putting pictures in albums might not be what they want to spend their time on.
There are many different ways we can use it such as in card making, home décor projects, and gift boxes.
These are just a few ways that we can make good use out of it when we aren't even using photos.
Card making has become very popular and is a great way to put your own personal touch on a card you give to someone.
Most scrapbook paper is double sided, as well as cardstock, which is perfect for cards because you will usually fold them in half.
We like to find coordinating colors between the paper and the cardstock and use the cardstock as the foundation of the card.
This will add some dimension and make your card look more professional.
It is also great for making invitations.
You no longer have to search forever for the perfect invitation to your themed party, just find the paper that suits your event and you will be able to create exactly what you want.
We love to use scrapbook paper in home décor projects as well.
You don't even need to be creative because there are so many beautiful options out there to choose from.
Take a look through some paper bundles to find a few sheets that would match a room in your home.
Find a few that coordinate in color, but that are not the exact same.
Glue them on already cut out foam board (to match the size of the paper) and then hot glue a contrasting color ribbon around the edges of the foam board.
These boards will spice up any unused space and do not cost a lot of money.
Try this project with twelve by twelve sheets or cut them smaller, depending on the size of your space.
Gift boxes are a fun way to use scrapbook paper and most people have not seen them so they are also original.
Our favorite decoration idea is to use a paint can as the gift box.
Wrap a piece of paper or two around the paint can, then make and embellish tags with the letters of the person's name that is receiving the gift.
Add some ribbon, and you are done! It is a great way to personalize the gift more and the recipient will be thrilled.
Another great idea for a gift done in scrapbook paper is the cube.
Get a wooden cube, two inches on each side, and decorate each side with different paper, but in coordinating colors.
Then add some of your favorite sayings and quotes, or whatever you would like to say to the person receiving it, and finish with a few embellishments.
These ideas can make your home, card, or gift really special because of the personal touch you will put into them.
Finding the right scrapbook paper to go with whatever project you are doing will really make a difference and let others know how much you care.
And remember, have fun with whatever project you are doing even if it doesn't involve scrapbooking!
