Thank you Jess. Very helpful.

[@lisadelong1455]

Great suggestions. One way I tone down busy patterns is place vellum over it.

[@erinwood4968]

This was my thought too. Even using different colors of vellum papers to tone down big and bold. Also, cutting big bold paper into strips or squares and spacing them apart so as break up the overly bold paper. It gives the eyes a place to rest. 😊
Great video

[@JoanOrloffDK]

Great ideas Jess 🥰 I love your ideas and tips ❤️ thanks for sharing your creativity Hugs xx

[@ingrid2543]

Definitely can use these tips, thanks Jess!

[@teresazuehls783]

Great ideas, Jess! I love the partial inking idea. Never thought of that. Collaging over part of the paper is another way I like to use those bold prints as well as die cutting like you did. Totally changes the look.
TFS❤

[@Cards4Cancer]

Thanks Jess. Always appreciate you.

[@shirleyh9583]

Thank you, Jess, for another great instructional video. Your ideas will be helpful to use some of my patterned paper I had no idea what to do with.

[@josephinemoyer8510]

Wow awesome ideas. Cause I usually stick them to the side and ignore them but you did a beautiful job showing how to use them.

[@cindywall3119]

Wonderful tips! When I have 12 x 12 patterned paper that I do not like, if it is white on the reverse, I use those for envelopes. Works great. Think you for the great suggestions.
