Create your own Patterned paper with the sweet strawberry stamps

This video will show you exactly how I created the patterned paper and how I made 5 easy cards with it. But, making your own background paper is very simple. The key is to stamp all over your piece of cardstock, including off the edges, and to place your images very close together or overlapping. I used the Sweet Strawberry stamp set to make my patterned paper since that is the stamp set that I included in my craft box.
