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.

  • 1st set of Amazing In Color card swaps!


    Last weekend our Flowerbug's Team met and swapped cards featuring at least 2 in colors.  I can't wait for you to see them all; they're fabulous! 

    This first card was made by Jacki featuring two punches!  The Ladybug Builder and Medium Daisy punch.  

    Here in colors include Tahitian Tide, Parakeet Party & Orchid Oasis.  She also used the Painted Texture embossing folder on her White layer.  

    Next is a card made by Mary.  She used the Framed Occasions stamp set in Parakeet Party and Orchid Oasis. 

    This stamp set coordinates with the Beautiful Shapes dies.  The Designer paper is the Tea Boutique DSP.  

    Deloris made this vibrant card with the Amazing Year stamp set.  Her in colors include Parakeet Party and Tahitian Tide. 

    She used the new Stylish Shapes dies and the Hive 3D embossing folder.  I believe she colored in the image with Blends markers. 

    Lastly is a card made by Tracey; she featured a bunch of the new In Colors along with Crushed Curry.

    Her card includes stamps from the Color & Contour stamp set and the Scalloped Contour dies that coordinate with it.  

    I'll be back with another set of wonderful swap cards tomorrow!

  • He’s the Man fun fold card; Facebook Live tonight!


    Here's the card  we're making tonight for Stamp with Me Live. It's at 7:30 pm CT here.
    Gather some supplies and create along with me.
     
     
    I used He's the Man DSP; no stamping on the front.  I used the die-cuts included in the special He's the Man designer series paper.  I love this paper with the two sheets of fun elements we can use for card making or scrapbooking.  
     
    It's a fun fold card with the bottom half opening up to reveal the same angled square piece as the front. These are from the Stylish Shapes dies seen here.  This set of dies is all stitched in squares, circles and banner shapes!
     
    Measurements:
    • Card base 5 1/2" X 4 1/4", & 2 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
    • embossed back is 5 1/4" X 4"
    • Squares 2 3/4" & 2 3/8"
    • DSP 5 1/4" X 2"
    Other products used:
    Dies are Stylish Shapes; Brick embossing folder & Rustic Metallic adhesive-backed dots.
     
    The stamp is from the He's All That bundle; the arrow is another element from the Designer Paper seen here. 
     

    Join me here where I'll share a few more cards made with this layout.
