Faux Tile Banner Card

I’m thrilled that you all enjoyed the previous Faux Tile Cards I created and shared over the last month. If you missed them, I’ll share links below in this post.

I wanted to try out a couple different things for this set of faux tile cards:

Use the Stampin’ Up! Party Banner dies as a card base to create a banner card
Score at 1/2″ instead of 1″ for a different look
Add Foiled Classic Greetings & butterflies to elevate the Inked Floret faux tile cards

Three handmade cards with blue floral prints and layered "celebrate" or "thank you" cutout words. Cards use Stampin’ Up! Blueberry Bushel ink pad, visible top left. One card has a gold butterfly. "pattystamps.com" watermark on image. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

I don’t think there is a right or wrong way to create the tile background. Do you have a preference between the smaller or larger “tiles”?

Sunflower Faux Tile Cards

A scored white card is shown on a scoring board, with lines forming a grid. Beside it, inked floral stamps, stamped card pieces, and a clear block with a blue floral stamp sit on a desk, demonstrating a faux tile crafting technique. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

After posting my previous tile cards, several of you asked about using the scoring blade on your trimmer to create the tile grid. From what I found, the Simply Scored Tool creates a deeper and slightly wider depression which seems to work best for this technique. I used the wider of the 2 ends of the scoring stylus.

When you die cut the banner card base, use a 4-1/4″ x 11″ piece of cardstock. Score it at 5-1/2″, fold it, and place the fold just beyond the horizontal top cut of the banner die so that it doesn’t cut the top fold.

What do you think about adding the foiled greetings and butterflies? I just love the gold foil with the Blueberry Bushel Inked Floret image!

Below, I used the silver foil on the Classic Greeting foil die and love that combo, too!
