Mixed Media {Mon}: Mess-Free Mixed Media Cards

Monday, April 19, 2021

Hello, Kraftie Friends!

These cards have the Mixed-Media look...but without the mess!

Here's how to make mess-free mixed media cards:

Card #1


#1 I die cut some butterflies (top and bottom ones) from a butterflies patterned paper and stamped on them. 
Then, I added them on a die cut panel with foam tape. Sentiment (Daisy Meadows Cardmaking Workshop Kit) was paper pieced on 2 different pp. Dots were done using ColorBox Smooch.

Card #2


#2 Look for patterned papers that already look "mixed media-ish" and use the scraps to make a freestyle collage card.
Sentiment and Bird are from April Stamp of The Month - Scandinavian Folk Art Greetings ($18.95, $5 with a $50 purchase or FREE as a CTMH VIP Customer) and stitches from Stitched Together - Cardmaking stamp set.


Card #3


#3 This is also a printed pp that already have the Mixed Media look...I trimmed a panel for the card front, making sure I got the houses I wanted.
Then, I added a die cut poinsettia + stamping. Flower's center is also done with ColorBox Smooch. Sentiment is from a retired Craft With Heart Cardmaking Kit.
