Need a new idea for your handmade card backgrounds? Don’t worry.  The 2018-2019 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog has you covered.  This catalog is not just a list of items for sale, it is full of ideas and great projects too.  Stampin’ Up! now has You Can Make It idea projects throughout the whole book and they are all listed with page numbers on page 2.  These projects are inspiring, simple, and quick to create.

Handmade Card Backgrounds

This first You Can Make It is This Little Piggy project. Is that piggy not just the cutest!!! Anyway, this project shows how simply drawing diagonal lines with markers can create a simple but impressive background.

You can also just draw straight horizontal lines like this one.

You will love how easy these cards are to create. This technique is also good when you can’t find a designer series paper that goes with the colors you want to use.   The Stampin’ Blend markers come in every Stampin’ Up! color. They have a brush end that allows you to draw broad strokes and the fine tip end can be used for detail lines.

Handmade cards don’t have to be complicated or time-consuming. With these simple but impressive handmade card backgrounds, you’ll be creating all kinds of cards in no time. These cards are so easy to make but really have that WOW factor.
