3 Ways to Make Galaxy Backgrounds for Cards

Sometimes creating galaxy backgrounds looks so complicated! But I have three easy ways to create them! And they go along perfectly with some of the Pretty Pink Posh recent space themed release.

Whether you use ink or Tonic Studios Nuvo Shimmer,

or blend Distress Oxide inks over a stencil on dark cardstock.

Pretty Pink Posh June Product Release Blog Hop + Giveaway!

Welcome to the June Pretty Pink Posh Product Release Blog Hop + Giveaway!

This month is all about the non floral cards! 

I had a lot of fun with the Fancy Card Die which allows you to make different side flaps for fun fold cards.

Combine all three and add a bunch of the Helper Vehicles stamps and dies, City Buildings Dies and Brick Stencil to create a fun multi scence card. Here you can see the card standing to get a better idea of how all three folds work together.

 

I had so much fun with the Fancy Card dies that I also created a card with three folds using the Contruction Additions stamps and dies.

I like this card because each flap has a different ground. The first is a gritty dirt, the second is a grassy hill...

and the third is a street.

Again you can get a better look at the card standing up to see how all three work together.

After that I was pretty hooked lol! So I created a space themed multi fold card.

The smaller images are from the Outer Space Stamps and Dies.

The large rocket ship is from the Rocket Ship Shaker Dies.

The large planet is from the Planet Shaker Dies.

And the backgrounds are all from the Layering Shooting Stars Stencils.

Ok moving on to so traditional fold cards! This release also has a great sports set which includes everything from soccer to football to tennis and more1

There is also a Layering Sports Balls Stencils which I used as the background for my Football Shaker Dies.

I used the Stitched Stars die set to create a star shaker surrounded by stitched stars perfect for a person in the military.

I combined the Big Dump Truck and Big Excavator Dies to create this card:

And I used the rocket Ship Shaker Dies again (not as a shaker) to create this clean and simple card.

Finally, I combined the Eyelet Ovals Dies and the Utility Vehicles Stamps and Dies to make a fun postal card.

PHEW! Thanks for making it through all those cards! You can see how to make those fancy fold cards and a little peek at the creation of all of these cards in my video:
