You Only Need This ONE Formula for Perfect Altered Cards

Turn ordinary playing cards (and recipe cards) (I like the varied sizes!)) into beautiful mixed-media masterpieces with my easy, foolproof formula! In this video, I share a simple collage formula that takes the guesswork out of the background so you can focus on the really fun part — creating gorgeous focal points! Here’s what we’ll do step-by-step: First, I’ll show you the perfect way to collage using both plain scraps and altered scraps. 💡 HINT: If you want to see the exact process I use to transform boring scraps into exciting, lively scraps, check out my full tutorial here: Do THIS to transform your boring paper scraps! →    • Do THIS to transform your boring paper scr...   Once the background is beautifully collaged, I’ll demonstrate how to create both black & white and colorful focal points. I’ll show you exactly how I add lovely texture to these focal points. Finally, we’ll finish by adding just the right words and phrases to perfectly match the focal points we’ve chosen. You’re going to adore this project! These altered playing cards are quick, forgiving, and produce stunning results every time. They make wonderful handmade gifts, journal pockets, artist trading cards (ATCs), bookmarks, or framed mini art.
