Hello friends. Here’s an easy way to create a textured pattern paper background when you don’t have any pattern paper. I used a heart die with various papers and an embossing folder to create this background. This card also requires no stamping and uses minimal supplies! Let’s see how easy this was to create.
For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create an A2 card base. Then die cut another piece to 4 x 5-1/4″. On this piece I added die cut hearts using various papers from my stash to form a pattern. Then I ran it through my die cut machine with a 6 x 6 polka dot embossing folder from Queen & Company (I think it might be retired). And that’s it. Background created!
Next, I die cut two frames from the Lawn Fawn Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Frames Die Cuts from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to add to the front panel.
For the sentiment I die cut three from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ using the Lawn Fawn’s Scripty XOXO and three from Tim Holtz Idea-ology 8 x 8 Metallic Jewels Kraft Stock Paper using Lawn Fawn’s Scripty XOXO Outline Add-on.
On the inside of the card, I cut a strip of cardstock (same as the front panel) to 1 x 4-1/4″.
