Hi there. It is always fun to add a little sass and playful characters in card making. I have a saucy treat for you today. Today's tip is to make multiples of the same but different cards using similar supplies. Pick a theme and grab supplies and sentiments fitting for the theme. I love adding texture, so the pasta 3D embossing folder provided the best backdrop. I added cute icons: tomato, garlic, meatball and cheese for these cards. The Italy inspired elements are from the Buon Appetito Collection. The frame cuts are from rectangle dies. As always, incorporate what you have on hand. The full supply list and two short videos of the assembly are below.

The Stay Saucy VIDEO.

Helpful Tips:

1. Precut and score two white A2-sized card bases for vertical and horizontal cards.

2. Stamp sentiments on a piece of white cardstock using black ink.

3. Trim the coordinating sentiments.

4. Die-cut and assemble ingredient icons.

5. Add ink blending to accent the die-cuts.

6. Die-cut frame layers for background panels in slightly different colors for each card.

7. Dry emboss two cardstock panels in light and dark yellow shades.

8. Layer and adhere the backgrounds for each card.

9. Adhere the ingredient icons differently for each card.

This is a look at the Ti Amo pasta finished card.
Sentiment: With you, life's never plain pasta.

Next, here is the Stay Saucy friendship card.
Sentiment: Stay saucy, my friend. Happy Birthday.

Finally, this is another look at the two cards.
