How to make a fun background for your cards with Stampin’ Blends, alcohol & vellum

April 19, 2023

19 Apr

Hello!

I recently made this card for a colour challenge…

I had described the method for creating the card in my blog post but was asked if I’d do a video tutorial for it too. I’m always happy to oblige!

I’d love you to click on the image below to check it out…

Or you can CLICK HERE to watch over on YouTube

I totally changed the colours for the card in the video. I used Sweet Sorbet, Tahitian Tide and Orchid Oasis and here’s the result…

My card base is Basic White Thick card (29 x 10.5 cm, scored & folded at 14.5 cm). My Orchid Oasis layer is 10 x 14 cm and my vellum layer was trimmed down to 13.5 x 9.5 cm.

I really do think the addition of the heat embossing adds a bit more of a wow factor, don’t you?

I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing today’s card and will give these fun techniques a try too!

Shop the products

I’ve listed all the products I used for today’s card below. You can click on any of the links in the Product List to visit that item in my online Stampin’ Up! store. The Dainty Delight stamp set and dies can be purchased separately, but if you buy them as a bundle you’ll save 10% (up to 1 May 2023). I’ve shown both options in my Product List below.

When you shop with me you’ll receive a handmade card and gift as a token of my appreciation. If your order is under £150 please use the current Host Code so that I can add in a free product to your customer thank you pack for the month. Find out more on the Host Code page in the main menu.

Happy crafting,
