I’m sharing an easy card making technique that turns leftover paper into a beautiful background—and the best part? It’s no mess and stress-free.
Once the background is done, all you need is a sentiment and maybe a simple stamped or die-cut image. That’s it! A super cool handmade card using what you already have.
Watch the video for a great tip for making this the mess-free way!
For these cards, I used three different stamp sets to highlight how versatile this technique is.
