Make Your Own Patterned PaperThe concept for making your own patterned paper is simple! All you need is a stamp set, some cardstock and a few ink colors! The best part is that you can use whatever supplies you have on hand to make your own patterned paper.I started with a 5-1/4 x 8-1/2 inch piece of white cardstock but any size cardstock piece will work. Randomly stamp a variety of different images across the cardstock piece. Choose a different ink color for each stamp image you are using. For my patterned paper, I used the Stampin’ Up Rise and Shine stamp set along with the following colors: Terracotta Tile, Seaside Pray, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, Crushed Curry and Early Espresso. Card IdeasOnce you have the entire piece of cardstock covered with stamped images, then go ahead and cut up the paper.
Yes, this is the hardest part! The design is so pretty that it’s hard to cut it, right? I know we all have the same problem with cutting up our patterned paper.
If you want to show off the pattern, cut larger pieces to use on your card.This first card features a 5 x 3-3/4 inch piece of my stamped patterned paper. Notice that by cutting a larger piece of the patterned paper, I can show off the pretty design I created. The second card also features a larger piece of my pretty design. This piece is cut at 3 x 4-3/4 inches.
Each piece of pretty patterned paper is adhered to a piece of Seaside Spray cardstock that is a 1/4 inch larger.The last card features two 1-1/4 x 3-3/4 inch pieces on the top and bottom of a 5-1/4 x 4 inch piece of Seaside Spray cardstock. The middle section is simply a 2-1/4 x 3-3/4 inch piece of white cardstock.
Notice I embossed the white cardstock with the Swirls and Curls embossing folder. This embossing folder works so well with the swirly steam from the coffee mug. Now there are a variety of different ways to cut up your hand stamped patterned paper to use in your card making.

Today I have 3 easy ways you can use patterned paper in your card making. I am sure that we all have lots and lots of patterned paper on hand, right? Well you can use these card designs as a way to use up that patterned paper to create cards for any occasion. Of course, you can also use them to create adorable little Easter cards like these.These cards feature the set. Yes, Easter is about a month away so now is a great time to get busy creating some super cute cards!
And this stamp set has some adorable baby animal images that work perfect for Easter or any other spring-themed occasions. The possibilities are endless! Patterned Paper as a BackgroundThe first way you can use patterned paper in your card making is as a background.
This is one of my “go to” card designs and it’s a great way to use up some of that patterned paper we may be saving. The design consists of a large focal point on a subtle background. The cards feature a piece of the green patterned paper from the (DSP) pack.
Be sure to choose a small pattern so that it does not over power your focal point.The concept for creating these cards is exactly the same. The only difference is the adorable little baby animal featured as the focal point. To create these cards, start with a 5-1/4 x 4 inch piece of patterned paper for the background on the card. Adhere a heart doily, or any other shape, to the top part of the card front. Stamp the baby animal image you want to use and color it in with your favorite coloring tools. Cut a 3/4 x 4 inch piece of white cardstock, stamp a sentiment on it and adhere it to the lower part of the card as shown.
For the finishing touch, embellish the card with some little flowers and pearls. Using Up ScrapsThe second easy way to use patterned paper is to simply add a small strip across the center of your card front. Scraps of patterned paper work perfect for this! The card feature a piece of the rainbow patterned paper from the Pleased As Punch Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack.
Since we are using a smaller piece of patterned paper, you are able to use a bold or busier design.To create these cards, cut a 2 x 4-1/4 inch piece of patterned paper or simply use some scrap pieces that you might have lying around in your craft area. Adhere the patterned paper across the center of your card front.
Cut a rectangular shape that is large enough to fit the image that you plan to use as your focal point. Adhere the rectangular shape to the center of the card as shown. Stamp a sentiment on the bottom part of the card using Basic Gray ink. For the finishing touch, embellish the cards with a few pearls.Looking for more fun and simple card ideas featuring the Pleased As Punch Designer Series Paper? Check out my latest post which showcases 4 easy cards you can create with the DSP and the small blooms punch Multiple Patterned Paper DesignsThe third way you can use patterned paper in your card making is to combine a few different patterns together. This typically works well when you combine a bold or busy pattern with a subtle pattern.To create this card design, cut a 1-1/2 x 5-1/2 inch piece of a busy or bold patterned paper.
Next, cut two 1/2 x 5-1/2 inch pieces of a more subtle design of patterned paper. Adhere the patterned paper pieces across the center of the card front as shown. Cut out a rectangular shape for your focal point and add one of the adorable little animals.
For the finishing touch, embellish the card with a few flowers and pearls.So there you go! Now you have 3 different ways you can use patterned paper in your card making! Plus you have some adorable little card ideas featuring the Welcome Easter stamp set. I hope you enjoyed these easy and super cute ideas! Have a creative day! LynnSupply List. Today we are going to do some stamping with plastic wrap!
Yes, I did say plastic wrap. It a fun and simple card background technique that you can use with supplies you probably already have on hand.The cards in this video feature the (stamp set and punch) from Stampin Up. But keep in mind you can use this technique with any supplies you have on hand. The Card Background TechniqueNow for this technique you can use either a plastic bag or plastic wrap.
I recommend the use of plastic wrap because it will hold a crinkled shape which makes it much easier to stamp with.The technique is super simple too! Simply bunch up a piece of plastic wrap to form a little crumpled ball of plastic that you can easily hold in one hand.
Then simply blot the plastic wrap on the ink pad and stamp on the color. It leaves such a fun texture on the cardstock, hey?
Creating a Colorful BackgroundSo the first way you can use plastic wrap in your card making is to stamp a colorful background. It’s such a quick and simple way to add color to an entire piece of cardstock.
And it’s not messy! I love that!.The first card features the use of one color, Daffodil Delight, to stamp the background. Once you cover the entire piece of cardstock with color, then go ahead and add your focal point. In this case, the focal point is the floral image from the Beautifully Braided stamp set. The second card features the same technique, the only difference is that it features two colors instead of one.The cool thing about this technique is that you don’t need to get another piece of plastic wrap to add the second color.
Simply blot the yellow color off and then go ahead and start stamping with the calypso coral color. Masking TechniqueThe second way you can use the plastic wrap technique is with a bit of masking. Masking involves covering up parts of the cardstock, with thin paper, so that the color is only visible in the areas that you want it.So for this card, I am masking off about an inch or so on each side of the white cardstock because I want the color from my plastic wrap stamping technique to go right down the center of the cardstock. Once the mask in place, you can start stamping with the plastic wrap. Cover the entire center section of the card with color. Then remove the mask and you are ready to finish the card. Today I have 3 different ways you can use the NEW Flowering Foils DSP in your card making.
This new patterned paper is one of the second release items that you can get free with a qualifying order during. There are a variety of different beautiful rose gold and silver foil designs in this paper pack. So let me share three simple ways you can use the new Flowering Foils DSP in your card making. Coloring IdeasThe first set of cards feature some simple coloring ideas. Since the paper has a variety of rose gold and silver foil patterns, it’s perfect for a little emboss resist technique.
Now the cool thing about this emboss resist technique is that the embossing part is already done for you! The paper is embossed in rose gold and silver. All you need to do is add color!.So I am using some of my favorite coloring tools: Stampin Blends and Sponge Daubers. The first card features a 5-1/4 x 4 inch piece of the flowering foils DSP sponged with Highland Heather and Old Olive ink. I recommend using a sponge dauber to add the color simply because its easier to use on smaller areas.
The second features the use of Petal Pink and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends. Both are simple and beautiful ways to add color to the flowering foils design. Oh, and did you notice the 1-1/2 x 4 inch piece of vellum across the card? It’s another NEW Saleabration item called So Very Vellum.
Last week I shared a few card ideas featuring this vellum, so if you missed it, you can check out the designs. Ombre Sponging TechniqueThe second way you can use the Flowering Foils DSP is to create a colorful background. For these cards I am featuring the Ombre coloring technique which involves the use of three different shades of color. Of course you can use as many colors as you prefer to create the background.The first card features the use of a variety of different shades of pinkish color tones. Again you will start with a 5-1/4 x 4 inch piece of one of the Flowering Foils DSP papers. Using a sponge wedge or dauber, sponge a bit of Calypso Coral ink across the bottom of the foil paper.
Next sponge a bit of Flirty Flamingo in across the center. And, finally, sponge the remainder of the DSP with Petal Pink. It produces a nice Ombre effect in the background.The second card features three different shades of blue inks sponged across the DSP. The Ombre effect creates a colorful shaded background for the card.
Both cards feature a floral embellishment cut from a piece of the Flowering Foils DSP. Yes, you do have to cut out the flowers by hand but it’s really easy to do. Plus they make such beautiful embellishments, hey?
Monochromatic DesignsThe third way you can use the Flowering Foils DSP is simply as is. No coloring involved!
These are monochromatic designs featuring a little white on white. The rose gold and silver foil in the DSP add just the right touch to these card designs.The first card features a recessed panel card design. Simply add a 2 x 5-1/4 inch piece of the Flowering Foils DSP to the white card front. To create the panels, cut a 1 x 5-1/4 inch piece of white cardstock and adhere it to the left side of the card front. Then, cut a 1-1/2 x 5-1/4 inch piece of white cardstock to the right side.
Us a few dimensionals to pop up the panels on the card. For the finishing touch, add a little greeting and embellish the card with a few champagne rhinestones.The second card features a large floral image, as the focal point, cut from a piece of Flowering Florals DSP. The background features a 5 x 3-3/4 inch piece of white cardstock embossed with one of the Heirloom frame embossing folders. The embossed cardstock has a 5-1/4 x 4 inch piece of champagne foil matte behind it.
With all of the large floral images in this paper pack, you have lots of options for creating beautiful embellishments and focal points for your cards.

Let’s talk about some simple ways you can use vellum in card making.
For today’s projects, we will focus on the use of the NEW So Very Vellum Specialty Paper from Stampin Up. However, keep in mind that you can use these simple card making ideas with any vellum.In this week’s video I have 3 simple ways you can use vellum in your card making. I will also share some tips for adhering the vellum. Vellum BackgroundThe first way that you can use vellum in your card making is simply to use it in the background. It’s the easiest way to use it and a great way to show off the focal point of your card. For this card, the background showcases a 5-1/4 x 4 inch piece of the So Very Vellum Specialty Paper.
The vellum comes in 3 different colors: Purple Posy, Pool Party and Soft Seafoam. The cards I am sharing today feature the Purple Posy color. You might also notice that the vellum is textured.
It comes that way (I didn’t add the texture).Once you adhere the vellum to the card front, simply create a focal point. This card features one of the beautiful floral images from the Forever Blossoms stamp set. For the finishing touch, embellish the card as desired. Vellum OverlayThe second way to use vellum in your card making is as an overlay. So what do I mean by that?
So instead of adhering your focal point on top of the vellum, you adhere the vellum over the top of the focal point. Since vellum is transparent, you can easily see stamped images underneath the vellum. So for this card, the floral image is stamped on the cardstock and the vellum is adhered over the top of the colored image.
It softens the stamped image and gives the card a fun new look. Partial VellumThe third way to use vellum in card making is to simply use a smaller piece of it as an accent. The smaller piece, or strip, of vellum helps to accent the focal point of a card so that it draws your attention to it. So for this card, you can see how the small piece of vellum, across the center of the card, really accents the floral images nicely. It helps soften the image and gives it such a great look.If you are looking for more ways to use vellum in card making ideas, check out these other ideas. SuppliesThe cards in this video feature the NEW So Very Vellum Specialty Paper and the Forever Blossoms stamp set.
