Today’s tutorial on SCS is another Oldie, but Goodie: Rolling Marble Background. I had to dig through my kids drawers to find some marbles to be able to write these instructions.
My card base is a 4 1/4″ x 7″ piece of Kiwi Kiss cardstock.
It was scored at 4 1/4″ and the short end was punched with the Scallop Edge Punch (definitely a must have from this new catalog).
The inside of the card was lined with a 4″ square of Baja Breeze cardstock.
I stamped the Butterfly from Happiness Always randomly over the cardstock and sponged the edges with Baja Breeze. Then I added paper piercing in the top right corner.
The card front was layered with a 2 3/8″ x 4″ piece of Chocolate Chip, followed by a 1/4″ smaller piece of Very Vanilla cardstock. The cardstock was first rolled with Kiwi Kiss inked marbles. Next I inked up the solid butterfly stamp with Kiwi Kiss and rolled the edges in Baja Breeze. I stamped the butterfly several times over the rolled background. Then I stamped the alpha butterfly in second generation Baja Breeze.
I paper pierced the edges and added a double photo corner on the top left of the fold. Three silver brads top the corners off.
My latch is a 1 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock scored at 2 3/4″. I taped the smaller part of the strip to the right hand side of the card base. The longer part was layered with a 1 1/4″ x 2 1/2″ piece of Very Vanilla cardstock. I had stamped it over and over with the leaf from Happiness Always in Baja Breeze.
The sentiment was stamped in Chocolate Chip on Very Vanilla, punched out with the large oval punch (I can’t wait to get the new ginormous one! I need new stuff!!! I want it now!!! LOL). The edges of the oval were sponged with Kiwi Kiss. After it was taped down on the buckle, I paper pierced a border around it with help of the Classy Brass Template Punches Plus.
I didn’t want to cut a slit to hold the Buckle card closed. I stamped another solid butterfly in Kiwi Kiss with Baja Breeze edges, topped it with the alpha butterfly in Chocolate Chip and cut it out. I added two silver brads in the butterfly body and adhered it partly over the buckle with dimensionals.
I took one dimensional and tapped it several times onto my fingers to take some of the stickiness away. I placed the one sticky side of that dimensional under my butterfly wing. The other, not so sticky side, holds my card together. It’s sticky enough to hold the card shut, but not sticky enough to make it hard to open the card.
Have a wonderful day! Hugs and smiles

I’ve been dreaming in In Colors lately. I love them so much! What a beautiful showcase for them! You amaze me, Beate. I’m so glad your back. TFS!
Hi Beate, This is such a beautiful card! I just HAD to write to tell you how much I appreciate all that you share to everyone through your fantastic blog and your loving and generous spirit! I visited your archives over the past weeks and learned and enjoyed SO much! Thanks for your inspiration. ~Mary
OH MY GOSH. . .I LOVE this! It’s gorgeous!
Gor-G-OUS! Oh boy! A bigger oval punch???? Woohoo!
I love the Chocolate Chip on the Vanilla. Very vintage-y looking. The marble technique looks great with those colors! I wonder if one of those little round stick-on Velcro dots would do well for the need you had for some kind of clasp?
beautiful card, I’ll have to check out that technique 🙂
Hallo Beate,
schon wieder eine sehr schöne Karte. Ich hoffe doch, wir bekommen diese neuen Farben auch.
LG Andrea

This is great! My younger kids do this all the time with paint as a fun craft. I’ve never thought about doing it with my cards though. Thanks!
