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.

  • Split Panel Fun Fold card with free project sheet & video tutorial


    This card was a big hit on last week’s video! I cased it from my friend Susie Wood who continues to inspire me.

    This card features the Neutral Noel specialty designer series paper and the Shining Stars dies. The graduated panels on the front add a bit of fun to the card layout. It’s another great way to feature your designer paper!

    The Shining Stars dies are just $5 with any Stampin’ Up! order (once your order reaches the $75 mark). There are 23 dies in this set! What a fabulous deal this is! See them here.

    My colors include Secret Sea, Gold and White. Classy and seems to fit these products. The stars were die-cut from the Timeless Metallic specialty paper seen here. It comes with sheets of Gold, Red and Green and is perfect for holiday projects.

    I created a free project sheet you can download or print. Click here to access it. It includes photos, measurements, step by step directions and a list of supplies. Tomorrow I’ll share another version of this card fold.

    And below is the video tutorial for this card and one more version as well.
