Beautiful Card Designs Made Easy

Creating Backgrounds

 Hi Everybody,

Today I am adding a video that will show you how I made the backgrounds for my cards, and depending on which side of the folder you prefer it will give you either a debossed or embossed design

This card has used a 2-4-1 die  that I got from Amazon, and these are the results from the inky background

You can dress them up any way you would like and they would make really good masculine cards
... minus the flowers' !!!

You could try this with coloured mirror card and that would make a real difference to your design.

Stazon Backgrounds for your Cards
The Stazon is a but messy and you will need the special cleaner to get it off your fingers or any stamps you use it on.

But it adheres to mirror card better than anything else to give you this look.

These are just some of the cards that I made for the video and I hope you enjoy watching. 

I hope you will leave a comment on the video and consider subscribing if you haven't' already.  It means a lot to me and really makes a difference to the YT Channel

Bye for now

  2. Morning Christina, these cards are very attractive and the ‘grid’ die suggests lots of possibilities to me ~ I must check and see if it’s still available! Thanks so much for sharing.

  5. Just watched your video. All the cards turned beautiful. So many great ideas.
    It must take such a long time to make all of them and edit the video as well!
    My granddaughter has been making cards with me for her teachers and friends.
    She often will use the debossing side a panel. She loves that look.
    Thank you for all those ideas.

  9. Love this card i have used aluminium foil which has six sheets through the embossing folder and then used the dye to finish off . It's one of my favourite dyes. Love your feminine take on it
