Hi Everyone, it’s Tina here. Today I have several cards to share with you using the new large holiday sentiments dies. I get asked frequently what do you do with a busy background. Sometimes I don’t want to cover my background so I add a sentiment that way you still see the gorgeous background. Below you will see examples.

Card #1

Card #2

Card #3

Card #1

Step 1 – Trim White Cardstock to 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″ and fold in half for a vertical side fold card. (A2)

Step 2 – Trim White Cardstock to 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″. Apply Distress Oxide Ink Chipped Sapphire using an ink applicator. Let dry.

Step 3 – Stamp background image of your choice using Versamark. Sprinkle Silver Embossing Powder, remove the excess. Heat set it with a heat tool.
