Hello friends! Today, I’m diving into the world of mixed media and showing you how to incorporate a variety of techniques into your card making. If you’ve ever wanted to add more texture, interest, and artistic flair to your cards, this is the perfect place to start.

We’ll be using a mix of stamps, ink pads, stencils, shimmer paste, splatters, and even a gel plate to create layered, dimensional backgrounds that truly stand out. Mixed media doesn’t have to be intimidating—in fact, it’s all about creative freedom and enjoying the process.

VIDEO

I have a video tutorial that you can check out down below or HERE on my Youtube channel.

I walk through all the steps and supplies in the video so down below I will list the main supplies used. A full visual supply list is at the end of this post.

SUPPLIES

• Vintage Blooms Bundle
• Thank You Text Background
• Honeycomb Stencil
• Gel Plate
• Brushed Pyrite Shimmer Relief Paste
• Golden Hour Solar Spray
• White Acrylic Spray
• Trio 13 Ink
• Trio 29 Ink

This project is a great way to explore techniques that go beyond traditional cardmaking while still keeping your design cohesive and card-friendly.

There’s something truly freeing about creating a mixed media project—no rules, just play! The beauty lies in the unpredictability of how each medium interacts.

It’s not just about the end result, but the joy of the creative process itself. Mixed media invites you to let go of perfection and enjoy the art of discovery and I hope this video has inspired you!

Thanks for stopping by!
