Faux Tiled Background Card
Hi crafters! A really neat technique is the Faux Tiled Background. With a bit of stamping and masking, you can create a lovely, unique background. The video walks you through the steps.
Gorgeous card Sue, just lovely. Reminds me of Delft Karen, omg how bad is that. I hope you are not in too much pain, both you and your husband must have got such a fright. Take care, I've always said exercise is not good for your health. Rosemary, you do make me laugh, I wake at 4 every day regardless of Work or holiday, that's why I start Work so early and if I was to have a cup of tea in bed I'd have to make it myself, it's not the same. Keep your strength up Hun, don't let the gremlins get you down, you have beaten much worse than this. You can do it. Donita, I love Rhode Island, it is so beautiful. Don't think I have been to Conneticut. June your workshop sounded wonderful, you seem to get lots of craft shows and workshops in your area, lucky you. Elaine, the barbecue sounded such fun. Glad you all had a good time. Didn't get the drive started, it rained so I made a start re-organising my craft room, wish I had friends to reorganise it for me, they would have hearts like lions. Rosemary, the young men are on their holidays, can't do work Grandma, it's not fair lol. Kelly brought the puppy over last night, he is delightful, very curious. Their staffie Meg is not so sure, she keeps hiding from him. Crewe Trish, sounds as if you are having a great time, take care in that hot sun. Daily hugs to all, especially our poorly and missing friends.
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, such a beautiful card today, I have been learning different techniques about stamping over the weekend so now have the confidence to do this, but I do prefer to use a stamping press of some sort. Will be watching the video later.
Pam I reiterate all you have said. Hopefully everyone is alright. Your are wrong in assuming we have a lot of workshops down South, I have my own craft club on a Wednesday morning, then on the last Saturday and Sunday of the month I go to workshops, one is Groovi and the other is cards and stamping, and then twice a year there is an open day near me, that is about it. Although I do look forward to Ally Pally twice a year too (when I can get someone to take me). I wish now I had never stopped driving but it is 20 years now since I drove and have lost my confidence, there are some real maniacs on the roads nowadays.
Got to get my stuff ready for tomorrows craft club, I did the instructions yesterday and sent them out, we are doing a diorama card this week.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hello Sue This is definitely one to try I can't wait to see the video when I get back Pam I love your sense of fun you are always so positive a half a glass full person.Rosemary one step at a time we are here for you.Elaine I hope you and your family are well.
Good morning Sue, Loving todays card, I am not a confident stamper but I am getting there. Like June I am improving with the advantages of a Stamp Press. Pam as always a wonderful summary that's brings everything together. I will watch and learn later. Have a great day. Patricia xxx
Morning Sue. This is a beautiful card. I can see this one been made in many colours. I am not very confident at stamping so i must invest in a stamp press, everyone seems to be raving about them and hopefully my stamping will improve. Thanks for a great video. Hope everyone is having a good week. Take Care. Best Wishes. Denise T x
Good morning Sue, Thank you for providing me with the inspiration for my mother's birthday card!!! The faux tile effect is so clever and very effective, your card is beautiful. Great tutorial too. X
Morning Sue and all the Wilsonettes What a lovely card today, I have only just started stamping so will try and have a go at this as it is very pretty.
Well im back out in the garden today trying to get as much done between the rain showers so it gets finished ready for the plants and bulbs to go in.
Sending love and healing hugs to all that need them.

Yorki Girl ,you had a great day , so pleased for you .
Pam you did make me laugh ,poor Meg i can just imagine her trying to find somewhere to hide will echo your great summery again today. Take care Big Hugs to all Elaine H X
Hi Sue What a great card and video today, that's a lovely technique and much quicker than cutting up squares like I've done in the past. It makes a beautiful backdrop for your dies. Thank you for sharing. Love Diane G xxx Pam echoing tour comments today, don't work too Hardin the garden. Drop hints to those boys how old you are and how much you've done for them over the years add in a bit of bribery about cute baby photoessays that might go on your Facebook page for friends to see and who knows you might get two willing helpers 😀Xxx June I agree we do get some shows and workshops down south but I find all the good craft shops are up north, I'm secretly planning to drop into the conversation we may be near a couple when we organise a holiday later on in the year! Xxxx
Good morning Sue and everyone Your card looks great and it does look a bit hard to do I will have to watch the video later to see just how you have achieved it There are a few comments I will have to read back on to get up to date so I will have to echo Pam and her always perfect posts Hope you are enjoying your time off Pam and manage to get your special cards done Hugs to all that need one Theresa.

Wow! I think this card is beautiful, so different, thank you for the video, I did wonder how You got the lines to create the tile look. Certainly one I will be trying later this week! Tha nk you for the inspiration Sue.
Gorgeous Delft-style card this morning - love how you've done the tile effect with sticky notes, so much easier than cutting little squares then forgetting to allow for the spaces in between as I've done in the past!...will definitely be giving this technique a try - and I've just added the Dandelion Posy to my wish list too, so pretty...
Good Morning Sue and all. Such a stunning card this morning . I love the colours . Thank you for sharing the video which I am going to save until later. Crafty hugs all round... Wendy
Hi Sue and everyone A beautiful card this morning Sue, must try this technique. Pam poor you waking at 4 every morning, you must be awake before the birdies!!

This is just one amazing card Sue, absolutely love the technique you have used, a definite to make for me....thank you so much for sharing with us....luv Ursula xxx
Hi Sue, I love this beautiful card and apart from the Sumatra die I have all the ingredients to try this technique. I think it is a card that by just changing the colour it could be made many times over and would look different. Thank you for the video, I think I will be watching it again before actually attempting something similar.
Karen M - Oh no, poor you. I do hope your ankle is not paining you too much but it does give you an excuse to sit down and craft :-) Hope hubby is ok and recovering well.
