Hello, welcome to my blog!
Today's post is a continuation from yesterday's post where I made the Cling Wrap backgrounds and one card. Today, I show you 5 more simple cards that I made with those backgrounds along with the products for each.
Let's get started!!
My first card, I cut my inked panel to 3 1/2" x 4 3/4", and layered onto a Taylored Expressions Oreo panel measuring 3 3/4" x 5" then mounting onto a Gina K. Designs Ocean Mist card base. I then cut three times out of Oreo cardstock using Pinkfresh Studio Floral Squares die set, running them through my Big Shot die cut machine. I use Gina K. Designs Connect liquid glue to glue the three die cuts together, I then set an acrylic block on top to hold them together as the glue sets. Next, using my MISTI stamp positioner, I stamp a greeting from Simon Says Stamp Tiny Words stamp set with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink. Finally, I add liquid glue onto the back of the floral die cut and mount just above my greeting and center on the panel, this completes my card.
My second card, I use Hero Arts Hearts Nesting dies to cut my inked panel into a heart shape, running it through my Big Shot. I use the next size up heart die from the same set and cut out of Taylored Expressions Poppy Seed cardstock, then glue together using my Connect glue. I adhere the layered heart onto a 4 1/4"x 5 1/2" white Neenah top folding card base to the left side, just off the card then trim off the overhang. Next, using my Simon Says Stamp Script Thanks die, I cut the Thanks two times out of Oreo cardstock and the shadow once from Vellum. I stack and glue the greeting together and glue to the vellum shadow using Connect glue, then glue it onto the heart. To finish off my card, I attach black jewels from Lucy's Cards Ebony Jewels using my connect glue.
For my third card, I cut a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" white panel. Using my Taylored Expressions Streamers embossing folder I run the white panel through my Big Shot, then adhere it to a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" white card base. Next, I use scrap pieces of my inked backgrounds and cut out balloons using Lawn Fawn Party Balloons die set running them through my Big Shot. From the same set, I cut out the balloon strings using vellum. For my greeting, I use Stamps Of Life Happy Statement and cut Happy once out of my inked panel and once out of Poppy Seed cardstock. I use Connect glue to attach the two, slightly offsetting to create a shadow affect. For my sentiment, I use Simon Says Stamp Tiny Words and stamp onto Poppy Seed cardstock using Versamark ink. I then use Brutus Monroe Alabaster embossing powder and heat set with my Wagner heat tool. Using Simon Says Stamp Sentiment Label dies, I cut out my sentiment. To assemble my card, I first glue down my balloons and attach the strings using Connect glue. I then glue down my Happy greeting over the balloon strings and with Foam Strips, I attach my sentiment.
My fourth card, I start with a 3 3/4" x 5" white panel mounted onto a 3 7/8" x 5 1/8" Poppy Seed panel. I then attach to a Taylored Expressions Candy Corn card base. Using Pinkfresh Studio Floral Squares die, I cut out once with my inked background and two times using white cardstock running them through my Big Shot. I stack and glue them together using Connect glue, setting an acrylic block on top of the dies until the glue is set. I then glue to the upper center portion of my card. Next, I use Gina K. Designs Wealth Of Wishes stamp set to stamp a sentiment just below the floral square using Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and this completes my card.
For my fifth and final card, I cut a 1 3/4" x 4 7/8" strip from my inked background and mounted onto a 2" x 5" Poppy Seed strip. I then mount onto a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" white card base. Next, I cut a greeting from Taylored Expressions Thanks Script die using Oreo card stock, I then cut Taylored Expressions Thanks Script Backer out of vellum, running these both through my Big Shot. I glued the two together using Connect glue and mounted onto my inked strip just below half way down. I also added some black jewels to finish off my card.
This concludes part 2 of my Cling Wrap Background technique. I hope you enjoyed my cards and give this technique a try for yourself! Any brand of food wrap would work as well as any dye inks. Oxide inks work well also, they just give a different look because of the oxidation.

My technique is a bit different than hers, both give a different, unique look.
Come back tomorrow for another fun card project!

Hi Jeannie. I saw your beautiful “you’re on my mind” card at Scrapmania and had to stop in to see the technique. These are all gorgeous.
