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!  

EXPOSED BRICK 3D EMBOSSING FOLDER Save

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.  

COUNTRYSIDE CORNERS DIES Save

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.

  • Glimmer Paper meets the Slim Card dies for a big WOW!

    I hope you're not tired of the Slim line cards I've been sharing this week.  I've been having a lot of fun making them with the Slim Card dies and the Slim Saying stamp set.  

    I shared these striking cards on FB Live Tuesday: 

    Slim Saying cards FB Live Save

    I wanted to use the new 2022-24 In Color glimmer paper, I knew it would show off it's ombre' effect nicely with the Slim Card dies.  I chose to use the 2 in colors of Parakeet Party with Starry Sky.  

    The Slim Sayings bundle is retiring this month and available while supplies last.  BUT the Slim Card dies are on sale now at 50% off!  See them here.  It's a better deal to get the Slim Card dies separately from the Slim Sayings stamp set even though they are available in a bundle.

    Measurements:

    • Card base 8 1/2" X 7 1/4" scored at 3 5/8"
    • White layer for the die-cut 3 1/2" X 8 1/2"

    I had to cut the colored glimmer paper twice since it's in 6 X 6" size and the die is about 8 1/2" long.  I also used the Picture This dies for the greeting label and the Starlit punch for the glimmer stars; also punched from the In Color Glimmer paper.  

    I saved the outside pieces from the chevron glimmer paper and made this card:

    I just couldn't throw it away and decided it could be used for a second card.  I adhered the two colored pieces to a piece of White card stock and trimmed off the excess before adding it to a card base of Orchid Oasis.

  • Slim Sayings bundle is so versatile!

    Here are a few more samples featuring the Slimline Sayings bundle that is retiring this month.  See yesterday's cards here. 

    This first card features the Hues of Happiness designer paper. 

    Slim Sayings Hues of Happiness Save

    The pretty ombre design in the Hues of Happiness DSP is beautiful with the beautiful die-cut design.  I used the Tailor Made Tags for my greeting layers and stamped the 'one' on a piece of So Saffron to make it pop. 

    Here's the Slim Sayings stamp set; I love this greeting set so much. The variety of fonts and occasions are so versatile.
