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.

  • Bright Borders fun fold with Bloom Impressions DSP

    We made these pretty cards at my Clubs in January.  I featured the Bright Borders stamp set with the To the Point punch and the Sale-a-Bration Bloom Impressions DSP. 

    Bright Borders & To the Point punch Save

    Unfortunately the To the Point punch is out of stock and isn't expected to be back until April!  I was worried about this when I saw it was in low inventory. 

    The gorgeous Bloom Impressions DSP is a free choice during Sale-a-Bration and is also in low inventory.  If it does run out it's possible they'll turn off the item number if they cannot get more in stock before the end of February.  So grab yours here now! 

    BLOOM IMPRESSIONS 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER Save

    This is a fun fold card – sometimes called a 'back-fold'. The far right inside is scored so it can bend backwards. The greeting layers are adhered to that side and hold the card closed.  It's a great way to show off our coordinating colors in our beautiful designer papers.

  • Spring Corners fun fold card with free project sheet & video tutorial

    I totally enjoyed making this neat fun fold card.  It shows off this neat stamp set wonderfully! 

    Spring Corners cards Save

    I wanted to highlight the flower image as well as the neat greeting. I used Stampin' Write markers to color my image before I stamped. 

    Tips on coloring stamps with markers:

    • always us a water-based marker (never a Blends 'permanent' marker)
    • color with the lightest color first so you don't contaminate your tip with a darker color
    • huff on the image before stamping to moisten the inks – this gives a brighter image

    This neat fold starts with an 11" X 4 1/4" card base with a small fold back on the front. Then the DSP layer is added behind it.

    My colors include Fresh Freesia, Blackberry Bliss or Granny Apple Green and White. The DSP is the Toadstool Gardens and the ribbon is the Fresh Freesia seam binding ribbon – both are from our free Sale-a-Bration choice.
