    Creating Unique Backgrounds For Cards With Modeling Paste

    March 3, 2024 / No Comments

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share a couple of cards using white modeling paste as a fun background element. White modeling paste can be used as-is, with stencils, or mixed with a variety of other mediums for endless possibilities in your paper crafting projects.

    June 6, 2023 / 1 Comment

    Hello, friends! Marie here again from Marie Nicole Designs. I have three cards to share featuring the Photosynthesis Collection by Simon Hurley. This collection is so fun! Lots of florals and a few ways to create pretty backgrounds. Not to mention the glimmer sentiments that are perfect for any type of card! Let’s take a look. SIMPLE BOUQUET Whenever I create a set of cards I like to make them all in the same color family. Then, I can switch up the card design, but they end up looking very coordinated in the end. For my cards today, I chose a vintage palette. Pinks, purples, and muted greens give an…
