In the Background–MFT Triangle Screen Die-namics + a Video

Hi, everyone, I have another In the Background card for you today, complete with a video.

Today’s video will show you how I stamped and put this card together using MFT’s Triangle Screen Die-namics die. You can see the video by clicking on the button below, or HERE on YouTube, and I hope you’ll subscribe to my YouTube channel while you’re at it ;-)



I’m going to give you the ‘in a nut shell” version here on the blog, but you’ll find more detail in the video. My card base was made from Primitive Cream Card Stock, and the Triangle Screen Die-namics die cut and sentiment strip were, as well. I stamped more Primitive Cream Card Stock with Tangy Orange Ink and Burlap Background, Safety Orange Ink and Wood Plank Background, and Jellybean Green Ink with Fine Check Background. I randomly adhered them to triangle openings, along with Safety Orange Card Stock, Tangy Orange Card Stock, and Jellybean Green Card Stock.




The sentiment is from LJD Out On a Limb, stamped with Chocolate Brown Ink, and the leaves were cut with Falling Leaves Die-namics. Their edges were sponged with Kraft Ink, tied together with Hemp cord, and adhered to the card front.




Another sentiment from LJD Out On a Limb was stamped on the inside with Chocolate Brown Ink.




And there you have it! I hope I’ve inspired you to try something different with you Triangle Screen Die-namics. Thanks so much for stopping by! See you soon!

Deck the Halls–In the Background + a Video

Hey there! I’m back today with another In the Background card and video. AND, adding another card to my Christmas stash :)

Today’s video will show you how I made this diagonal gingham pattern with a stencil and ink. You can also see the video HERE on YouTube and I hope you’ll subscribe to my channel :)




I started with a piece of Primitive White Card Stock and taped it down to my grid paper, then taped down Diagonal Stripes Stencil and sponged on Sno Cone Ink with my handy-dandy dauber. I think turned my stencil 90 degrees and sponged again to create the pattern.




To create my card, I started with a Primitive White Card Stock base. Then I trimmed down my just-stenciled paper, matted it with silver glitter paper and popped them both up on the base on foam. I added three layers of Winter Wreath Die-namics, cut from metallic silver paper, adhered a Sno Cone Card Stock bow, and Copic-colored clear gems for “berries”. The sentiment, from DC Ornament Banner Builder, was stamped with Versamark and heat embossed with silver embossing powder, then popped up, as well.

A sentiment from Seasonal Sentiments was stamped on the inside with Steel Gray Ink.




And that’s it! Thanks so much for stopping by! See you soon!

In the Background–Red Gingham Christmas (video included)

Hi, all, I’m back today with another In the Background card and video. I hope you’ve enjoyed my previous ones and have learned just a little something along the way.

Have you looked at the calendar? Christmas is barreling down the pike and will be here before we know it so I thought I’d better get started on some cards. I never have enough and I always say I’m going to get started early but never do; maybe this is the year ;-)

In today’s video I’m going to show you how to make a darling little gingham checked background using a stencil and ink. MFT has a couple of great gingham stamps: LJD Textile Backgrounds and Gingham Background but sometimes you just need a smaller check. That’s what I’m going to show you to do in this video.

You can also see the video HERE on YouTube and I hope you’ll subscribe to my channel.



I started with a piece of Sweet Tooth Card Stock and taped it down to my grid paper, then taped down All Lined Up Stencil and applied Red Hot Ink. Then I turned my paper 90 degrees and sponged again to create a sweet little check pattern.

 

To create my card, I trimmed down my newly stenciled paper and popped it up on foam on the base. I stamped a sentiment from Seasonal Sentiments on Black Licorice Card Stock with Sweet Tooth Pigment Ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder and did a little sponging a la the chalkboard technique. To finish it off, I added a couple of holly leaves from Christmas Ornaments Die-namics and some Copic marker colored clear gems for the berries.

On the inside is another sentiment from Seasonal Sentiments stamped with Black Licorice Ink.




And that’s it! See you soon! This card is simple enough to mass produce and still be special and flat enough to be mail friendly. Thanks so much for stopping by! See you soon!
