1. Paper Strips

You can use paper strips inside your card, on the card panel, under the card panel, on any of the edges, whatever your prefer! I try to use my project paper scraps when adding the paper strip so the front theme carries over to the inside.

I love to decorate my envelopes as well, using similar methods that I use to decorate the inside of cards. I have a Five Ways and Five More Ways video for decorating card envelopes.


2. Stickers

One very easy way to decorate the insides of cards is to add stickers! Many times, scrapbook paper packs come with a sheet of matching stickers, but you can also use washi stickers, or any other kind of stickers you have. In this section, I created an example on screen of how I used stickers from a washi sticker book to decorate the inside.

I have a walkthrough Flop or Shop video about the Ephemera Books if you want to check it out. I review a vintage-looking book, and also a famous paintings book.


3. Dazzles & Borders

For this tip, I show Dazzles and Border stickers from Paper Wishes. These are completely flat and perfect for decorating the inside of cards. I also show some Lace Border tape from the Washi Tape Shop, which would also be awesome to add to the inside of cards.

Dollar Tree Stickers: Tin Tiles

I have a video available on how I organize my long sticker sheets from Paper Wishes and Love From Lizi.


4. Embossing Folders

With this method, you can add embossing detail on the inside card panel, which looks so elegant and adds a ton of interest to the inside of the card. This method is so so easy! You can leave the embossed images plain, use a coordinating stencil, or swipe an ink pad on top on the raised image.

5. Die Cut Panel

With this easy method, you can add a lot of interest to the inside of the card just by cutting out the inside panel with a frame die! For the cards I showed, I have a scalloped frame on the inside, and a couple of different rectangles cut from Gina K Designs Master Layouts sets.

BONUS: Patterned Paper Card Base

Perhaps the easiest way to decorate the inside of your cards is to use patterned paper for your card base!
