Hello friends, it’s Nina-Marie Trapani here with you! I’m going to share a fun idea for getting 2 cards out of 1 background. This technique not only saves you time, but also creates less waste because we’re utilizing some of the negative pieces from die cutting—and when you have a gorgeous background, why not get the most out of it?

In today’s video I am using brand new products from Hero Arts, including the Flower and Hearts cover plate die, and the Message Basics stamp set. To make my background, I used Distress Inks from Tim Holtz and did a bit of ink smooshing for a really fun color array!

Want to learn more about how I made these cards? Watch the video below for all the details!
