This week I am showcasing the Faux Tile Technique. Over the next few days, I will show more of the different tiling effects.
Today’s card is scored every 2.5cm (1″) diagonally on a Score Board. The blue emulates the Delft Tile effect.
Tips:
- Here are the supplies, measurements and some basic instructions. Check out the video for full details on the technique.
- Supplies:
- Stamps – Wood Words, Burlap
- Card Stock – Thick Very Vanilla, Pacific Point, Whisper White
- Ink – Pacific Point , Sahara Sand
- Measurements:
- Card Base (Thick Very Vanilla): 21cm x 14.8cm scored at 10.5cm (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”)
- Pacific Point: 13.8cm x 9.5cm (5¼” x 4″)
- Whisper White: 13.3cm x 9cm (5-1/8″ x 3-7/8″)
- Instructions:
- Create a grid on the Whisper White layer using a scoring board or the scoring tool on a paper trimmer.
- Today’s card is scored diagonally at 2.5cm (1″) on a score board.
- Stamp background image with Sahara Sand ink (second generation stamping) and the main images with Pacific Point ink to create a tile look. The images will not stamp in the grid lines.
- Attach tile panel to Pacific Point layer and then to front of card base.

- score every 2.5cm (1″) horizontal and vertical
- score 2cm (1″) then 1cm (½”) horizontal and vertical
- score every 1cm (½”) diagonally
