Scoring and Doilies for Backgrounds

It’s Tutorial Thursday! Today I want to show you how to create four different backgrounds with scoring and the Heart & Home Doilies.

All four of the cards have the same dimensions for the card base, outer mat, and inner mat. Most of the cards are Very Vanilla while one is Basic White.

• The card base is from Thick Very Vanilla or Basic White Card Stock and is cut with the Paper Trimmer to 4 1/4″ X 11″. On the 11″ side it is scored at 5 1/2″.
• The outer mat is from Cinnamon Cider Card Stock and is cut with the Paper Trimmer to 4″ X 5 1/4″. It is attached with Stampin’ Seal.
• The inner mat is from Basic White or Very Vanilla Card Stock and is cut with the Paper Trimmer to 3 3/4″ X 5″. It is attached with the Stampin’ Seal as well, but after all the stamping, etc.

Here are the four cards…

I am numbering the cards 1 through 4 starting from the left and going to the right. The stamp set is called Easter Friends.

For card number 1…

• Stamp the bunny and sentiment in Cinnamon Cider Ink on Basic White Card Stock. Then turn over and score using the stylus to create texture. Please see the video for more tips on this technique. The link is below.

For card number 2…

• Stamp the bunny and sentiment in Cinnamon Cider Ink on Very Vanilla Card Stock. Cut doilies in half and then half again. Attach doilies after stamping.

For card number 3…

• Stamp the bunny on a scratch piece of Basic White Card Stock with the Cinnamon Cider Ink. Cut out with Snips. Attach doily with Stampin’ Seal and bunny with Dimensionals. Then stamp sentiment.

For card number 4…

• Place doily on either corner and spritz with Stampin’ Spritzer filled with rubbing alcohol and about 12 drops of Cinnamon Cider Ink Refill. Let dry. Then stamp bunny and sentiment.
