Want to make your card pop without too much effort? Try adding a vellum cover die background for an effortlessly bold design.
Today’s card is from our designer Natasha, who is bringing us this fun sports themed encouragement card and has used textured cardstock and vellum to make this card pop! We love this design, the baseballs are classic and so fun to make. Follow along as Natasha shows us how to use vellum to add interest to card backgrounds.
- You will need to die cut at at least 2 bats and 6 balls using 5815-02D Softball and Baseball Dies. I used a wood veneer paper for the body of the bat to give true woodgrain look. I also used a white, red, and black cardstock. Assemble these according to the packaging.
- Die cut a panel of vellum using 5921-01D Rounded Hex Cover Die. Adhere this to a 3 3/4 x 5 inch panel of white cardstock and cut off any overhang.
- Stamp a sentiment from the 37029 Victory Vibes Stamp Set onto the hex panel. I used a sentiment that would mostly fit in a hexagon. Be sure to set the stamping with a heat gun, as it will take longer to dry if any portion was stamped onto the vellum.
- Now add baseballs and the bats into place. I chose to cross my bats and let a little overhang the panel. I then adhered the baseballs with foam tape, cutting one or two in half to fill the panel. Any baseball overhang was removed.
- Finally, adhere this panel to an A2 panel of black cardstock.
