Today's the day when you can see the results over at PaperArtsy and see to what good use I've already put my masterboard... my Masterboard Giftwrap Master Plan!
There are so many possibilities when it comes to building masterboard layers, so I decided I would stick to a few of my favourite things: book pages, crackle, blue/brown, heat embossing and Hot Picks stamps.
I hope you'll have time to hop over and take a look and that, like me, you'll be inspired to take the masterboard plunge. Happy crafting all!
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favourite things.
From My Favourite Things, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II
If you don't mind hopping to see the full reveal, I'd love to enter my masterboard pillow boxes into the Bags and Boxes challenge at Try It On Tuesday.
It looks gorgeous to me ! It is one of my favourite things to do... making master boards, so useful !
