Yesterday’s Facebook Live was all about creating fun, textured backgrounds with Designer Series Paper, and these cards were such a joy to make! The top two cards feature the gorgeous Moonlit Flora Suite Collection, with rich greenery, layered die cuts, and those moody botanical patterns that feel like a walk through a secret garden at dusk. 🌿✨
For both cards, I used strips of Designer Series Paper to create a dimensional background that adds so much interest without a lot of extra work. It’s a fantastic way to use up smaller pieces of paper while still creating a design that looks detailed and unique.
I layered in fern die cuts, twine, embellishments, and the sweetest little moth accents to finish everything off. The soft greens paired with the deep floral prints create such an earthy, elegant feel.
I also shared a couple of additional samples during the Live using the same background technique with different Suite Collections. The Winnie the Pooh inspired card uses the adorable Silly Old Bear Suite Collection and has the coziest storybook charm. The soft browns and simple layout make Pooh and Piglet the stars of the show. 🐻
The final card features the Velvet Meadow Suite Collection with soft florals, delicate texture, and dreamy pastel tones. This one has such a light and airy feel compared to the rich Moonlit Flora cards, proving this technique works beautifully with almost any paper style.
One of my favorite things about this layout is how versatile it is. Whether you love bold botanicals, whimsical characters, or soft florals, changing the paper completely transforms the look. It’s a little paper magic trick hiding in plain sight.
