Many patterned papers need to be cut in a certain direction to ensure they will be oriented correctly when adhered to the card. Don t forget about those thin strips of paper that remain when you pull a piece of paper from your paper pad! You can pull these strips out and use them as trim for your cards. Increase the possibilitiess of your sticker set by using parts of stickers for your cards. A sentiment from a tag shaped sticker, for example, can be used on one card while the rest of the sticker can be used on another card.
