My daughter spends hours reading every day. A weekly trip to the public library is never enough for her. She burns through a stack of books in just a few days. I caught her laying on the couch with her books the other day and decided it was a perfect moment to document.
Wood grain is a trendy addition to your paper craft projects and we’ve loved using ARC Crafts BARC Wood Paper in our projects lately like our National Scrapbooking Day Mini Album and our On The Move Collection Tags. I’ve used the BARC Wood Paper again today in three different ways on my scrapbook layout.
I used it as part of my smaller title to show off how intricate you can cut it. I used it with the Washi Tape cutting file to create cool wood washi tape. For my Bookworm title I first used a gold Sharpie and the Inspiration Pen Tool to create an outline, then cut out my title. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the Sharpie ink soaked in and created the look of a wood burning pen outline.

Great layout Michelle – and your daughter is beautiful!
Wood paper. Can’t wait to try this. There are so many possibilities. I can do some fun stuff with my wood burning tool and this I bet. Thank you for sharing. I am always looking for new materials to cut with my Pazzles.
I am excited to try ARC wood paper and am on their website ready to place an order. But I have a question before I complete it: doesn’t it dull the Pazzles blade?
Leslie-
I believe it does dull your blade just a bit like chipboard or any thick material would. I have a blade set aside that I use for heavier materials so I am not wearing down a good blade every time I cut something thick.
Thanks for the woodburning idea, I can image western type font with burnt edges!
