Hello, Carta Bella Paper fans! I'm up on the Carta Bella Blog today with a greeting card set Yesterday Collection!
The Carta Bella Paper Yesterday Collection is loaded with feminine florals with an antique feel that brings back memories from the past! The rich colors and nostalgic patterns of this collection are gorgeous and make for some beautiful projects! When mixing patterns and colors, I strive to stick with 3 colors and several neutrals. With this card set, the Yesterday Collection makes it EASY to mix and match. The yellow, green and red make a beautiful trio of colors to work with.
How to add brads after card is adhered:
The Decorative Brads are fabulous to add as simple embellishments, but I often times don't add them until my card is adhered together. For years, I have snipped the brad pieces off the backs with some heavy duty scissors and then glue on with a glue dot. If those finicky brad pieces don't snip off well, just flatten them a little with your hammer. Oh yes, remember the mini hammers that we once used to set eyelets on our paper projects!
