Owning an obscenely huge stack of background papers this was a most helpful video. Thank you Ardyth.

[@ardyth]

Haha! I think many of us are in that situation! Thanks for watching, Rose Anne!

[@crunchypickles99]

That's great minds thinking alike! lol! Thanks so much for watching!

Ardyth, I love them ALL! Hard to choose a favorite, but I always love “two for one” cards! Thank you so much!

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@carloshaun7297]

Just re-watched…a year later, and found this video just as inspiring as the first time! Thank you so much! I always love your videos, no matter how many times I watch them!

[@ardyth]

Thanks Carlos! That is a lovely compliment!

[@christineh3866]

I loved the thin rectangle around the outside to use more of those pretty backgrounds. Also loved using it for the large word dies!

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much!

ALL so beautiful, TFS.

You know Serena?! I used to babysit her! lol! Thank you for your lovely compliment!

[@flychk1229]

Great inspiration! I need to go look through all those ‘not good enough’ panels I’ve thrown in a box and see what I might do with them!

Very cool collection of cards Ardyth. I really like the effect from the floral lace die. I can imagine many cards made with it. Bye for now, I'm going to watch again!🌷🌷

[@ardyth]

I have made many, many cards with it since then - hope you like daisies, because there's A LOT coming! lol! Thanks for stopping by, Cath!

[@AlysonGold]

Thank you for sharing all of these wonderful ideas! I like to make backgrounds, but don't do it very often because I don't know what to do with them all. Die cutting is a great idea, especially if most of the background isn't "usable". TYFS!

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@kaleighmunsterman7691]

Beautiful variety of cards! Thank you for sharing such creative ideas with us

[@ardyth]

WOW!!!

Thank you!

[@kathleendippner1757]

I have a bunch of premade backgrounds also but my goal this year is to use my paper scraps. Every card I have made this year has used paper scraps. I'm super pleased with the dent I've made so far and I have used a couple of the backgrounds with die cuts made from the paper scraps. Thanks for sharing your ideas.

[@ardyth]

Such a great feeling to be accomplishing our goals! Thanks so much for watching!

[@cindym9851]

Absolutely inspired cards. You take things I think ‘ummph’ about and make them spectacular! Thanks❤

Thanks so much!

[@shelleyharrold2103]

I just ran across your videos today, and have watched 5 so far. LOVE your ideas and explanations of how you make each of your cards! I also like how you have "chapters" for replaying the video to a specific place. Thank you for your creativity!

[@ardyth]

Welcome and thanks so much for watching and leaving such a nice comment! I'm glad you're enjoying!

Fantastic ideas for creating cards from your backgrounds. That has always been the bit I struggled with.

[@ardyth]

Thanks so much!

[@cherieselauer7829]

I’m so amazed that the gray one turned out so beautifully! I’m not a gray fan but that was beautiful!

[@amilasrsly]

It was gorgeous, the colours so rich and well suited together. 🙂

[@ardyth]

Haha! The tulip card was the one that surprised me most - it's my favourite! Thanks so much!

[@amilasrsly]

@@ardyth The tulip card was awesome, it looked that that background had been intended for that stamp all along. 😃

[@donnablade8765]

Love all of your ideas! The first one I'm going to try is the partial stencils to add interest and texture! That really made a difference! Thanks for using you gift to inspire us and grow our skills! I love to think of the ripples of influence you make as we learn and then share in cards to brighten the day for the people who receive our cards. ♥️

[@ardyth]

I always look forward to your videos!!! Your presentation and the finished product are always top notch! My favorite was the metallic paint and the petal shaped embossing plate. Wow what a surprise that was after you spritzed it….I started doing that on most of my embossing plates to cut down on the paper cracking and the deeper embossing was just a great surprise! As usual…thanks so much!

Faux inlay embossing -- I never would have thought of it! I hate the fussiness of inlay but maybe . . . The love you card is my favorite 😊

[@ardyth]

Haha! That tulip card caught me by surprise! Those are not my colours, and I haven't really been stamping much lately, but that card was my favourite from this bunch! Thanks for dropping by!

[@RamoArt]

I want to add one thing. I think everyone remembers paper weaving from school. When I have backgrounds that I don't like enough to use them on a card I like to cut them into small strips and weave a rectangle from them. It's possible to die cut simple shapes like circles or hearts from it. Looks great on a card or tags!

[@ardyth]

That's a great tip! Thanks for sharing!
