Kintsugi, also known as kintsukuroi , is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.
The cards I have for you today feature the Kintsugi technique with designer series paper and gold heat embossing.
Below is the first card I made. Kept it simple with just two tears using the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper.
Next, the second card I made, with a bunch of tears. I definitely like this card – I think more tears the better! Remember to tear towards you and gently for the best results.
Check out the video below for more details on how to put the card together from Splitcoaststampers.
Thank you for taking the time to stop by today, hope these projects have inspired you to try paper crafting. When you decide to place an order for Stampin’ Up! products, I would appreciate your business.
