Have you met Maurice and Maisie yet?
Sometimes you want a scene on your project, sometimes you want a backing paper! The Tuesday Treat for 26th September is a fabulous set of backing papers which can be used within My Craft Studio or simply printed as they are and will give some contrast in your matting and layering too!
Our fabulous duo Maurice & Maisie are the perfect focal point for many occasions from birthday and engagement to sorry and get well soon!
Vikki has created a fabulous card using this die with a scene she created in My Craft Studio and Amber has recreated it using the Tuesday Treat backgrounds for you to show the difference you can add by simply switching the design in the background!
Here’s how they both made their cards:
