Card Making Backgrounds is a summary of all the background ideas I have created for my hand made greeting cards.  (this page is in construction – check back often as I add more details and links).

Creating a beautiful hand made background will enhance the stamped images you place over it and provide a beautiful background noise to those mini art pieces.

You can create Card Making Backgrounds with many stamping products and I delve into many of them here.  Some techniques are quick and simple, some take a little more time.  Either Way, they will help you make beautiful cards.
