Ready to dive into the hottest craft trend of 2024? It’s the Busted Canvas or the Exploding Canvas technique but done with paper.
Let your creativity run wild with this fun and easy technique!
There’s no need to worry about perfection—each card will have its own unique twist. Think back to when you were a kid, tearing paper without a care in the world, while adults fussed over getting it just right. Now’s your chance to let go of the rules and just have fun!
Just poke a hole right in the center of your paper and see where your imagination takes you.
Start with just a few supplies on hand.
- Card Base: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″
- DSP with focal image: 3-3/4″ x 5″
- Coordinating DSP: 4″ x 5-1/4″
This paper from Reindeer Days Designer Series Paper pack ties well with the Country Woods Designer Series Paper.
Here are a couple more ideas to get you started.
You can always change the paper size to fit a sentiment on the card front. The inside paper with the focal image is from the Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper.
Another card using the Nests of Winter DSP. I added another layer to make it pop a little more. The trick is just to play around and see what looks best for you.
And here’s another Christmas card with the Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper.
