Using Patterned Paper

[Angel1985]

I have TONS of patterned paper!!
I am looking for some fun projects to use them up.
Preferably things that may sell well at craft show. you know to get a little $$ back to re-invest in my hobby ;)

Thanks in advance for all your input.

You could make some grunge roses out of the different papers in assorted sizes. You could also make up some scrapebook pages so that all that needed to be done would be for the buyer to add their pictures.

i have thought of doing ready made scrap book pages before. however when i proposed the idea to some friends and family they didn't think it would go over so well.

where can i find the instructions for grunge roses?

It is probably not an item to make money, but I have seen some papers tht make lovely envelopes -or cute ones. (You can use an address label instead of writing directly on the paper.)

I've had pretty good luck selling bookmarks at craft shows. Pattern paper adhered to cardstock makes a cute bookmark.

I'm in the same boat. I was thinking of making flowers and shapes and the things like that and place them in little baggies. I like the idea of bookmarks.

Have you seen the quilted top note cards? Use of domestics (textiles, sewing) is a growing trend right now and these cards use lots of patterned paper and are very easy to make. They would be good sellers too, because they are flat to mail.

Here's a link to a search I did in the gallery...

I agree...super super easy to create the foundation for die cutting the shape(most use the top note die) I mean I cut strips, and then adhered them to the shipping label and had enough for 22 die cuts in about 40 minutes.....I plan to use up some DP I am kinda tired of in this way so I can justify buying some new DP.
