Want to learn how to create a wow factor on your cards?

Today I am going to show you how to use two simple products to create a wow factor on all your cards. I will be using the Amazing Silhouettes bundle and Symbols of Fortune designer series paper to create my wow.

 

I love the nature inspired images in the Amazing Silhouettes stamp set.

 

 

You can create beautiful silhouettes in one simple step using one color to make a bold impression, which is what I am going to do today, OR you can use multiple colors for an ombre look. The Amazing Thanks simple words can be added to any image to create beautiful thank-you cards and other projects. I am going to use the 'Amazing' and 'You' dies for my card.

 

 

If you love the Symbols of Fortune paper as much as I do, check out this video where I show you how to create 3 different cards using a 1/2 sheet  of one of these beautiful designs.

 

Now for the two products that will help you create a wow factor:

 

1. Foam Adhesive Sheets

These double-sided adhesive foam sheets can be cut with Paper Snips or open dies to fit any project. You get 6 sheets in a pack, each measures 4-1/2" x 4-5/16" (11 x 11.4 cm).

2. Blending Brushes

 

This is my favorite coloring tool! You can add ink as light or as dark as you want and even try layering colors to make an ombre effect (like in the photo). You get three blending brushes in a single pack, which makes it easy for using different colors of ink on your projects. 

 

Here's the card I created using these two simple products - don't miss my video tutorial below!

Thanks Joanne! I had found that stamp set is a bit difficult to use - but not anymore!
