Gorgeously Made with a neat background technique & video tutorial

I shared this card as part of my Tuesday Live video last week.  I was featuring the Gorgeously Made bundle.  Check out the background!

I focused on creating a pretty, textured background under the main image. Here are the steps:

  1. I first stamped the foliage image with Boho Blue ink onto Boho Blue card stock.
  2. Next I textured it with the Exposed Brick embossing folder seen here. (It's one of my favorite folders.)
  3. Lastly I dragged my White Craft ink pad over the texture. Tip: use a very light touch or ensure your ink pad is a little bit dry. I LOVE the look of this so much!

I used the same foliage image for the inside of the card as I did the pretty background, stamping once in full strength Boho Blue ink and stamping again without reinking.

I stamped the other large leafy image from the Gorgeously Made set on the Countryside Corners white die-cut. I added the print image a few times in second generation Boho Blue ink (this means stamped off once). It's layered on a Navy die-cut before adding to the card base.

The greeting is heat embossed on Navy using White embossing powder. The die-cut is from the Stylish Shapes dies – my go-to dies for greetings. 

There's just something special about a monochromatic card; this time in blues.  If you're going for an elegant or cohesive look try using just one color in varying hues.  Greens, blues and browns are some of my favorite choices.

  • Follow Your Art – more easy Double Wonder cards

    I made another group of cards using the Double Wonder template. These are so quick and easy to make and the measuring sure isn't much when you consider it makes 11 cards!  

    You start out with two pieces of 6" X 12" designer series paper. It does need to be double sided.

    Download the template & directions here. Download Double Wonder cards & template

    I chose to use the Follow your Art designer paper.  It will be perfect for all of my crafty friends and customers.  Did you know it's on sale right now?  It's just $4.60 instead of $11.50 right now?  It's on the Last Chance list here.  There are so many amazing deals right now!

    I'll show you each set of cards separately.  First up is Layout 1.  It's fun to mix and match the pieces of designer paper cut from the template. With double sided paper you get quite a few options.

    Next is Layout 2 using two 1" strips of DSP on each card.  You can jazz them up as much as you want; I kept them fairly simple using punches and die-cuts in my scraps.

    Lastly is Layout 3 and the bonus card on the right.

    I used the Crafting Forever stamp set (retiring) and just a few colors of ink; Pacific Point, Blushing Bride and Crushed Curry for sponging.  I did use the Crushed Curry ribbon on many of these cards and the Gingham Gala adhesive backed sequins.  They are both on sale too! 

    Don't miss out on the amazing deals; get them while you can. Click here.  I doubt we'll have many things on sale for awhile….

  • Country Club Designer Paper; make a card with NO stamping!

    I have some friends who are seriously into golfing!  They golf almost daily in Arizona.  So I knew I had to send her some cards made with this Country Club designer series paper.  

    Once I had it in hand I realized that one whole sheet has golf images on it!  In fact you can get 12 cards from one sheet!  Look!

    I cut the image to 2 3/4" X  3 3/4" and colored it in with Blends markers.  Just like a coloring book!  Next I added a layer of card stock to it. Then added it to a piece of the Country Club designer paper along with a 1 1/4" strip of card stock.  Easy peasy!

  • Easy Country Club Fun Fold card

    At first I thought this Country Club designer paper was just for people who liked to golf.  But once I had the paper in my hand it's sooo much more than that!  It is full of wonderful patterns and plaids too!  

    Today I'm sharing a project my Card Club gals received in April.  It's a unique fold that really shows of this cool designer paper.

    The card opens up in the middle and the back is one flat piece.  Here are the measurements:

    • Night of Navy 5 1/2" X 4 1/4"
    • Crushed Curry 3 1/4" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
    • Country Club DSP 3" square on top and 1" X 3" on the bottom.
    • Green or Smoky slate strip is 3/4" X 4"

    I used the A Good Man stamp set for the greetings.  I added a knot of the Country Club Twine Combo pack beside the greeting with a mini glue dot.  

    Here's the project sheet with directions, measurements and products used.  You can download and save it or print it out. Download 2020 April Clubhouse birthday

    I'll have a few more cards featuring this designer paper tomorrow.
