Welcome to Wind Back Wednesday! This monthly tutorial is designed to inspire us to dig into our older papercrafting products and create something fresh and new.
This week, we are going to use up all those little bits and bobs of expensive designer papers to make a Master Board. This collage technique involves gluing bits of patterned designer paper onto a plain cardstock base. You can then stencil, spatter, stamp, emboss or ink the background and use it to create cards, ATC cards, embellishments, ephemera, tags, pockets, etc. for a brand new project.
We're working with Prima Marketing The Home Baker Scraps and will make a Tea Party in a Box card and a Slimline Card Folio. The tutorial is primarily showing you how to create the master board, but I will also show you how to assemble the card fronts.
You can find the basic card measurements below.

Base: 11" x 7" panel of Brown Cardstock scored at 5" and 6"
Cardstock Liners: 4 7/8" x 6 7/8" Ocean Mist Cardstock. Spine is 7/8" x 4 7/8"
Patterned Paper Liners are 4 3/4" x 6 3/4"
