Hi there!

Today I am sharing the new Mermaid Background from The Stamps of Life.

For my first card, I decided to cut out my Mermaid Background from several different colors of card stock.

I layered the outer piece onto a piece of Powdered Sugar Card stock and then started layering my pieces back in a pattern. You can choose any pattern you wish!

NOTE: I put Adhesive Sheets on the back of each piece of card stock before I ran them through my machine.  You can hand glue each piece in but I did this on a road trip and it was much each to adhere them with the glue already applied!

It takes a little time but the wow factor is worth it!

I layered on this big Happy Birthday die from the Center Step Up die.

On my second card, I decided to pull out an old favorite, Pineapple2stamp.  For this background, I repeated the same process with Tangerine and Strawberry card stock. However, instead of a pattern I just randomly filled back in my background. It created a fun organic look.

I added a few Ribbon border strips in Kiwi and Green Apple Card stock and layered my Pineapple die cut on top. I chose the Welcome die cut from Banana and Strawberry.

So many design possibilities with this one!

Thanks for stopping by!
