Creative Illusion Cards

Hey everyone,

Today I have some really cool card ideas for you. Maybe you have ran out of ideas or just want to use up your crafty stash! These cards can be made using any colours and any stamps or dies you have already. They are so simple to make but so effective and they all turned out to be very elegant, especially card two.

I love this card! It reminds me of a pin wheel. It’s so simple to make and nobody will be sure if you have made it with white panels on black card.

I think this is my favourite! Its just so simple but so elegant. This gives an illusion of a frame style design or a quarter of a frame lol. The sizes for the stamped image card is 2 1/2 x 3 3/8″ the blue layer is a tiny bit bigger and the larger white piece is 4 x 3″

I am not quite sure what the illusion is with this one or if it even is lol. However, I do like this idea. You can use any colours and any stamps you like.

I hope you like the ideas and will give them a try yourself! I would love to see your versions.

I will pop a link to my Youtube video below.

Bye for now x

    Hi Ann, I know this video is 2yrs old but I keep missing your work even though I’m subscribed. No worries, I keep watching any of your videos that come into my youtube feed and this brings more. Want you to know what joy you bring to this old lady. Poor health has led me into the hopeless doldrums where I’ve lost the will to do anything except watch youtube videos. Seeing yours again is really getting my thoughts to clearing out the mess in the craft space and simply copying your cards so i get some made again. Thank you my dear for putting a spark back into this old soul of mine. Wishing you a truly happy and blessed New Year for 2025

    PS Forgot to say how much I love these illusion cards. Also love how you make cards where we can go to our own stash for the materials and not to the shops. Thanks again.
