I made two cards for this set of stamps. Started with one of my go to type of cards...a shaped card using Nestabilities dies. Went into my stash and found a Saran wrap(plastic wrap) background....that's a unique type of background basically what you do is color a piece of glossy cardstock with lots of ink then spritz it with water...place a piece of Saran wrap on it and let it dry. When it dries remove the Saran wrap and see the unique pattern you have on your background. My second card is a gift card pocket card or you can make it a tea packet card either way it makes a fun card. Go here to see my samples for our new 5th stamp set called Holly Jolly Greetings and Vroom mini stamp set. Continue on to Kelli's blog to see what she created with her stamps.

Great shape and fold cards! I really like that you didn't color the image on your last card. So different yet beautiful TFS AJ-

Very pretty background with the Saran Wrap on your first card. I'll have to try it.

Love the cards! The saran wrap technique creates a really cool background!

Janine said...

Nice cards - cute background - that is one I haven't tried - hoping saran wrap is cling film!

Kathy Bradley said...

Sue,
Your first card is really a lovely shaped card - and the BG is so pretty. I will have to try that - and I'll add it to my ever-growing to do list! Your second little gift card is adorable!

Janine, yes, I guess you could call saran wrap cling film. I'm sure any brand would work I know that Reynolds put's out a plastic wrap, too.
