I am loving that I have a number of background pieces to add to cards. When I made my first Technique Tuesday video for February 7, I ended up with quite a few (over 40!) pieces of embossed cardstock. This has been allowing me to make cards more quickly. I'll challenge you to make a bunch of card pieces, die cuts, layers, whatever you're interested in creating. It's kind of like a kit, but the pieces may not coordinate with each other like in a kit. Then mix and match as creativity spurs you to use them.
This is the card I made during my Facebook live video on February 6. I stamped a small square collage using 3 stamps from Framed Occasions and one color of ink (Evening Evergreen). By adding that to an embossed square as part of my sketch, this card came together very quickly.
I had already stamped and die cut my butterfly using the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set and Brilliant Wings dies, as well as die cut a butterfly in vellum. Can't you see this card in a variety of colors? And maybe a different patterned paper layer? So many possibilities!
The card above was my first one with this card sketch. I just wanted to see how it would look with the butterfly focal point and my embossed layers.
And finally,
I showed some of the pieces for this card in my Febuary 6 live video. Here it is finished! I love those butterflies! I wish I had played around with this stamp, found in Amazing Silhouettes, more when I first got it. I remember being excited about the stamp set, because it is so different than other Stampin' Up! stamp sets.
Try this sketch next time you create a card!
For the first card, with the Flirty Flamingo butterfly, I used:
For my card sample with the Pale Papaya butterfly:
And for my large Starry Sky card, I used:
Happy Stampin'!
