Mermaid Treasures paper tearing card tutorialby StickerKittenSeptember 28, 2018 |

Hi crafters, happy Friday! Are you glad the weekend is here? I am looking forward to doing a bit of crafting in between helping sort out the kitchen, which James has just refitted. There’s utensils in the living room and washing up in the bath so there’s a lot to sort out. But more importantly, I have a lovely Mermaid Treasures paper tearing card tutorial for you today, put together by design team member Sam (check out her lovely blog: https://mylittlepaperworld.blogspot.com/).

Sam says: Paper tearing is the perfect technique to match with Mermaid Treasure Collection Box. It’s an easy and simple way to create a fun background that can represent the waves of an ocean.
