August 2025 Paper Pad Club Inspiration with Julee

Hello crafty friends! It's Julee Tilman popping in with a bit of inspiration using this month's beautiful Paper Pad Club selections!

While I love the polished look of masked images, I often find myself stamping and coloring without a clear plan. So, I have a little hack to create the illusion of a seamless scene! For this card, I individually cut the raccoon and stump images from the Stamp of the Month with my Brother Scan 'n Cut, including a 0.4" border. I then layered them together to determine the placement and marked where the borders of the two images met. By carefully fussy cutting away just the bottom border of the raccoon up to my markings, I was able to layer them for a seamless look. 

The layout for this card came from some leftover pieces from the EZ Wonder Die #2. I inlaid the gold foil letters and added a rectangle of the darling Boho Critters paper as the backdrop for my images. I even cut some of the extra EZ Wonder gold foil pieces to create "photo corners" for added detail. The finishing touch was that charming little snail!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you found a bit of inspiration to let your crafty dreams take flight.
