How I made a Tonal Background – Timeless Tile – Focus Friday – Thank You, Card – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo! – Uk

I love how this card turned out. I used the Timeless Tile background stamp to give some tonal interest in the background. The background was too plain otherwise for my tastes. This is a Focus Friday card. This month we have been looking at using background and large stamps in our cardmaking.

This is a very clean and simple design. I love the Uniquely Artistic stamp set. It is a two-step stamping set. The stamp set is a photopolymer one so it is easy to line everything up. It’s summer!! For me, bright colours and flowers are a symbol of summer.

Welcome back to this Focus Friday post. We have been looking at Background / Large Stamps during July. I’ve used this background stamp, ” Rays of Light” to create a background / stamped background. The stamp creates your background with one stamp. I’ve not added much to it as it is so busy already. The sentiment is from Go to Greetings and is a great set with a variety of sentiments and fonts.

I love how cute this card turned out. I’ve combined two stamp sets here, Biggest Wish and Elephant Parade. This baby elephant is so sweet with her pink balloon walking along the top of the sentiment. I thought about putting on more embellishments but really liked this clean and simple look.

I love hydrangeas. My mother has a huge one in the garden when I was a kid and I just grew up with these gorgeous big blooms. We still have them in the garden now and I’m looking forward them to blooming this year.

The Hydrangea Haven stamp set is a two-step stamping set. This gives extra detail and depth to the image. You can of course colour the images in yourself if you so wish.

How to Use Ghost Stamping in Cardmaking

How to Use Ghost Stamping in Cardmaking – Stacked Stone – Daffodil DayDreams – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – UK

Hello, I’m back with another Focus Friday project to share with you. The focus in July is on large / background stamps. I’ve used the Stacked Stone stamp here to stamp the background in different areas. I haven’t used a block to stamp with so the stamping is imperfect and merges into the background in place. This gives an organic and distressed feel to the card.

Use Background Stamps With Me! Focus Friday – Bouquet of Thanks – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

Welcome to this Focus Friday post. For the month of July, we are looking at background stamps. These are large stamps that cover most if not all of the card front. They are usually repeating designs that add interest to a card without detracting from the focal image. They can also be large stamps that give you the focal image in one stamp.

  • Bermuda Bay Cardstock – A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Shimmery White – 14.35cm X 10cm
