Cards + A Video Tutorial

I created some cards using the same stamp but different patterned paper. I really love how they all look different. I added some burlap for texture on this one. I've also added a video tutorial at the end of this post on how to do this technique.

For this one I added some corrugated paper, buttons and a jute bow for added texture. I love how this card reminds me of Fall colors.

I picked up the background stamp when I went to Scrapfest at the Mall of America in September. I've been looking to add more stamps for this technique to my stamp collection. 

Pink isn't a color I tend to work with very often. When I do I prefer to pair it with black. Black is one of my favorite colors to create with. 

Whenever I make cards, tags or books I always do a lot of inking. I decided to go "ink free" on the edges of all of these cards this time. That was a little challenging for me since it always seems so automatic for me to do. I do like how they all turned out. 

Below is a tutorial on how to make this type of background. I've made videos before but never a tutorial. If you have any questions please email me or leave a comment below or on my YouTube channel.

Below are some of the supplies used for these cards. Thanks for stopping by!

Another Sassy Project!

I used the sassy stickers my daughter gave me to make something for her. I thought this would be perfect for her to sit on her desk at work. She always uses this photo on her Facebook page.

Here are the steps I used to make this plaque.....

I picked up a cheap plaque.

I lightly sanded around the edges and added a coat of Gesso.

I painted it with some Making Memories Acrylic Paint. I wasn't using the center so I didn't even bother covering it.

After I figured out my design, I used Mod Podge to adhere everything down. This stuff is fantastic!!

I scored a piece of cardstock to use behind the sentiment. I can't even express how much I adore my Martha Stewart Scoreboard!

I added this piece to the sticker with a brad, added some foam dots and adhered down. I then added a coat of Mod Podge to the sticker. When it was completely dry, I sprayed on a coat of Mod Podge Gloss Clear Acrylic Sealer to protect it.

Another view...

Now I'll finish the other one I'm making for her. I'll share it when I'm done.
