NEW VIDEO!  What is Bargello (pronounced bahr-jel-lo)?  According to Wikipedia, Bargello is a type of  needlepoint embroidery consisting of upright flat stitches laid in a mathematical pattern to create motifs. The name originates from a series of chairs found in the Bargello Palace in Florence, which have a "flame stitch" pattern.

Sounds complicated, right?  Well, it takes only minutes to create a similar pattern with Stampin' Up! striped designer series paper.  I created a video tutorial to show you how I used paper to create a Bargello look for today's "spooky" card.
