YNS is the best. The cards are great. Love the “fishes”.
Great ideas for backgrounds. I’m inspired to try this technique.
WOW, these are all such awesome cards. I love creating my own backgrounds and I certainly got some ideas here today!
How is the office coming along? Have you got settled in yet? Would love a tour or pics!
These are all great – I get so much inspiration from the shared creativity – thank you all so much for sharing!
PS I don’t generally create my own backgrounds, but these are very motivating for me to try! 🙂
Adorable cards Design Team!! Love the paint splash one!
I usually don’t do my own backgrounds but all these examples inspire me to try doing a background. I love seeing all this talent, thanks for sharing!
What a fantastic idea of using stamps for the background. These are all adorable projects and have given me some great ideas.
Birthday Fishes made me laugh! I also really enjoyed Sue’s purple tulip card.
What great ideas! I have to try some of these!
I love the various splatter background stamps and have seen them used on a lot of cards lately. I just purchased the hearts splatter one but absolutely love the butterfly one that Kendra used on her card. I couldn’t believe she used white embossing powder on the card; it looks so perfect as though the other inks were blended around the stamp like a stencil somehow. Beautiful cards by all of your DT.
What fun! I love Lisa’s birthday fishes card!!
Thanks for sharing these inspiring background ideas for cards. They work so well with each card design. Sometimes I create my own backgrounds, especially when I don’t have just the right paper. These card makers have given me some great ideas.
Thanks for the inspiration! I wish I could color as good as these cards. The fishy card is my favorite. ❤️
Awesome cards!! My favorites are the ant card & that fantastic fish background!!
I like all these cute and creative backgrounds.

Wow! So many great ideas for such cute backgrounds! Occasionally I like to make my own backgrounds. Usually my cards are CAS so they don’t have very much of a background. 🙂
