Here's another way to put these background stripes to use on your projects... Here's how: I started with two chevrons stripes attached to my acrylic block. Inked them up and stamped. I love my Stampin' Up! Grid Paper pad, not only does it keep my work space clean and ink free, but it helps me to keep border images straight. I can see through my acrylic block and line the ends of the background images up along the grid lines on the paper pad. Can you see how this is done in the photo above? For the next line I flipped the entire block around, so the bottom stripe was now the top stripe, and stamped again. Flipped again and stamped. Repeat.
Well, I hope you've enjoyed today's samples of Background Basics: Chevron Stripes.

Two great cards! I love the way you used both of your stamp sets in designing the first card! :)
ReplyDeletePersonally, I love navy blue anyway so bring it on! Love both cards!
ReplyDeleteWonderful what you have been creating with simple stripes....modern and fresh!
ReplyDeleteLove this Maile! I love the splash of color you used on both cards.
ReplyDeleteI am loving the chevrons. It amazes me how you are able to make seemingly impossible color combos work so perfectly together. Do you have a trick or just an eye for colors?
ReplyDeleteHi Maile,I have been looking your blog for a while,and follow all your works, and today I decided to write ...
ReplyDeleteYou´re my cardmaking idol hahaha & im totally your fan! hahaha
I love it, because you work is so nice and soft, simple lines, nice colors... and make them beautiful cards.
