I love the Sweet Citrus Bundle! Every card I see out there is so eye-catching! So I thought I’d share this bundle with you today along with a fun background layer that my friend Vy Tran calls a “faux quilt.” She shared this fun pieced together background during one of our latest demonstrator events. It works great with scenery-like designer paper and with multiple fabric-like designer paper sections as the “star of the show” on a card. But it’s also fun when this background is more subtle just to give a layer a little more pizzazz.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating this card with the Sweet Citrus stamp set, dies, and embossing folder, daubers, the Bough Punch, and other coordinating products from Stampin’ Up!®. And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
Wasn’t that fun to see how the hybrid dies/embossing folder work together?!
