DIY Backgrounds | Erin Lee Creative

You definitely can’t always find the exact supplies for what you want to make. Here, I wanted to create the Lover house so I did it myself. I just pulled up a picture, grabbed a pencil and a ruler and tried to recreate it. It’s a simple background but I really wanted the sentiment to shine.

Pastes & Perfect Pearls | Erin Lee Creative

There’s no such thing as too much glimmer! I used a silvery paste along with perfect pearls to add shimmer. I also used a white gel pen to create a faux glitter look to my die cut sentiment. Best believe — I can still make the whole card shimmer.

Dimension Blending | Erin Lee Creative

Last year, I went to the Eras Tour and now, I’m really appreciating Taylor Swift so when I got a peek at this kit, I knew I had to have it, use it, and to do it justice. I freaking love how this card turned out. The snake is my favorite part. I went in with a lighter green and then darkened up certain areas to create that dimension that just pops here!

Full Stenciled Background | Erin Lee Creative

When you find a really good full stencil, it’s the best! You can easily create a bunch of cards pretty quickly and change up the colors to switch up the vibe of the card. I used this stencil to ink up a full background and then stamped out a sentiment. I’m only showing one card, but you can imagine that the possibilities are endless.

Numbers on a Card | Erin Lee Creative

Numbers are always a tricky thing — it’s kinda a staple for a crafty stash but also, how can you really use them on a card? I rarely use numbers for specific birthday ages because it’s so hard to know when I’ll need it. For today’s card, I used all of them so I didn’t have to choose! Also, Erin Lee Creative is running a sale on her site, 20% off all items and then there’s some crazy sales in her sale section with an automatic 60% discount!

Layers | Erin Lee Creative

I’ll admit that although I’m not a clean and simple cardmaker, I’m also not a layered, dimensional one either. But sometimes, you definitely need to pull a ton of layers to create an amazing card. This is definitely one of them and it also reminds you that you don’t always have to use tags just for presents — you can use them on cards too!

Hot Foil & Die Cuts | Erin Lee Creative

Hot foils are such an interesting crafty technique because it’s so razzle dazzle and glimmery, especially when you do a reverse hot foil because you use the remaining hot foil pieces. I thought to tone down this reverse hot foil frame, I chose a few die cut pieces to pair it with. I thought it worked really well and I was so happy with the outcome.

Coloring Hot Foil | Erin Lee Creative

The elegance of hot foil is great but I love to add a bit of color to it as well. I used copic markers to color this up with a fall palette and it just goes so well with the hot foiled gold accents.
