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.

  • A Little Latte cards – all made from leftovers on my desk!

    I decided to have a staycation this last weekend. I rarely take a day off at home; it seems like the only time I take an entire day off is if I leave town.  I tried my hardest to stay out of my studio on Saturday.  I lasted until 5 pm; then I couldn't resist playing a bit.

    I had a bunch of fussy cut coffee cups in a baggie and thought they'd make great thank you cards. So I pulled out my A Little Latte designer paper pack and some extra greeting tags and made these cards. 

    The designer paper pieces were either strips or squares so I arranged the fussy cut coffee cups over the largest pieces.  I think they turned out great for cards made without a plan!

    The only thing I purposefully prepped were the card bases and White textured layers (So Swirly embossing folder seen here). The rest are all scraps!

  • Simple fun fold card with Wildflower Designs with video & free project sheet

    I shared two cards featuring the Wildflower Designs bundle in last week's video. Here's one of them: 

    Wildflower Designs swap Save

    Can you see the simple but different card layout here? The back of the card is a full 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" layer. The Lost Lagoon folded card is 8" X 5 1/4" scored at 4".  So easy but unique too.

    I wanted to use Pretty in Pink with a current color and chose Lost Lagoon to pair with it.  I think they work beautifully together. 

    What do you think of the new Dashing Designs embossing folder? I love it!

    The Wildflower Designs bundle can be seen here.  I love the stamp set a lot but the dies won me over. There's so many possibilities with them!

    I made the card on the right below first.  Then tried it again for the left card.  Can you spot the difference?

    When I made this card for our Team swap my first one did not include the frame.  Otherwise they're the same. Which do you prefer?
