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.  

Click here or on the photo below to watch the video.  It's the first project featured; the other is a super fun 'fancy fold' card.

  • A Little Latte Surprise Accordion Fun Fold card with free project sheet!


    I shared how to make this neat surprise accordion card on last week's Live video.  It's also one of the projects in my 'A Little Latte' card kit to go this month.  

    It features the A Little Latte designer series paper – it's new in our Online Exclusives and can be seen here. It's part of the Latte Love suite that includes the DSP, a stamp & dies bundle, swirl dots and natural polka dot ribbon.  

    I've shared another version of this accordion card here but today's card uses a piece of designer paper measuring 6" X 4" that pops up when the card is opened.  You can add elements to the popped up area too. 

    Even though it's in my kit or tutorial this month I am offering the free project sheet for this card. Click on this link to download or print it.  Download Latte Love accordion card
