Background Check Day Six

The Day Six Online Card Classes Background Check lesson focused on card designs using backgrounds shown on Days Four and Five. I created a card using the Gap Background technique shown by Kristina Werner along with other “texture techniques.”

Using an embossing folder by Sizzix for Stampin’ Up, I dry embossed two ends of a card panel leaving a gap in between. Within the gap, I added the Avery Elle die cut sentiment (cut from foil and adhered to white cardstock) using dimensional adhesive. I wasn’t planning on making a holiday card, (and Kristina used completely different supplies for her sentiment), but the Season’s Greetings worked well for this technique.

Supplies:

It’s Your Day – Beach Scene

Today, I’m sharing another summer-themed, beach scene crafted with die cuts.

I used my favorite red/white/blue scheme again! Hope you’re having a terrific day.

Online Card Classes Background Check – Day Three

Today’s Online Card Classes Background Check lesson focused on card designs using backgrounds created in the first two days of lessons. I followed one of the designs shown by Jennifer McGuire. To create the background, I followed the same techniques as on my Day One card.

Online Card Classes Background Check – Day Two

I’m sharing a card created with one of the techniques shown by Kristina Werner in the Day Two lesson of the Online Card Classes Background Check class.

I stamped the Argyle Backdrop with ColorBox white pigment ink onto Stampin’ Up Sahara Sand cardstock. When that was dry, I stamped over the pigment ink (shifting slightly) with four Stampin’ Up dye inks. I cut out the panel with a Lawn Fawn stitched rectangle die; it’s A2 sized. I cut the thanks sentiment and leaves with Lawn Fawn dies.

 

Supplies:

Reverse Confetti – Watermelon Popsicles

I couldn’t resist creating watermelon Popsicles with the Reverse Confetti Let’s Chill Confetti Cuts and the Doin’ the Wave Confetti Cuts.

To create the Popsicles, I used the Doin’ the Wave Confetti Cuts to cut two patterned papers and white cardstock. I adhered the pieces onto a lightweight piece of cardstock, fitting them together in their grooves, and used the Let’s Chill Confetti Cuts to cut out the Popsicle. For the Popsicle sticks, I first cut them with the Let’s Chill Confetti Cuts and then ran them through the Big Shot with the Woodgrain Confetti Cuts to add texture.

I heat embossed one of the sentiments from Donut You Know. Additional embellishments were created with the Confetti Cuts sets: Layered Banner Duo (banner), Shakers ‘n Frames (hearts), Wonky Scallop Border, and Tagged Tote (bow).
