With the help of a few tricks, you can use background dies to create open borders on cards. In my video, I show a few ways to do this technique… and also use the new Altenew Gradient Cardstock.
Here are the cards from my video along with the main products featured. For the full supply list, scroll down to the thumbnails at the end of this post. Please watch the video to learn how to do each specific card.
