Adding Texture to Card Backgrounds

 Hello Beauties!

Thank you for stopping by today.

Went through my stash if metal craft dies to create this card. I grab a die I haven't used in a long while to create this textured faux embossed raised background. 

I thought the feather background would be perfect for this colored image. I used alcohol markers to color the stamped image in.

I hope you enjoyed this card and try making some backgrounds using craft dies you have in your stash. Happy crafting!

Creating a scene using die cuts

 

Hello friends! 

I hope you are having a wonderful week so far!

I was in the mood for paper Hello friends!  today. This card has 48 pieces that had to be cut and assembled  together to create this scene. 

Although this is time consuming to cut out all those small pieces; I do enjoy the final product. I try to make multiples when I make a card project like this since the planning can take awhile. I figured why not have at least 3+ of the same card if I am going to spend a lot of time designing the scene. 

 I do enjoy the process of placing each element around the card front until I find the perfect place for each one.

I hope you enjoyed viewing my card. Have a great weekend and happy crafting!

Slime - line Card - Happy Birthday

 Hey There! Welcome to All Things Beautiful!

 I hope your day is going well and you are finding some time to be creative.

I made a Slimline card this week. I thought I would take out my scan and cut machine and try cutting out this stamped floral image.

Depending on the stamp the machine doesn't always cut out a clean silhouette of the image. So I was happy to see that this one worked great.

I added a quarter inch border around the stamped image, cut out another blank one to glue behind it so it would pop off the page a bit.

I hope you enjoyed my card and find time to get creative today! Happy crafting!

Just a note card - using layers & texture

  

Good Morning! I hope your week is going well and you are ready for the summer!

I needed a quick non-sentiment card so I pulled out some panel dies and some patterned scrap paper to create this card.

The umbrella and sentiment dies are from Concord & 9th

I added lots of dimension with the use of an embossing folder for the background and then adding lots of layering of the florals, and decorative elements.

Happy Crafting!
