Quick All Aflutter card with the Extraordinary Washi tape

Here’s a sweet card made with both the All Aflutter bundle and the Extraordinary Washi tape:

My colors include Calypso Coral, Old Olive and White. The Arches dies used in White here give a wonderful focal point to highlight the butterflies, greeting and flowers from the Washi tape. Unfortunately they are out of stock currently; but see them here and put your email in to get notified when they’re back in stock.

The background texture on the Old Olive layer is the Floral Spray 3D embossing folder. This folder is super popular and out of stock right now. Again, please add your email to be notified when it’s available.

I love the Extraordinary Washi tape with coordinating die. You can cut out lots of colored flowers and leaves with ONE CUT! I save the extras to use them when I need just a little something extra. See the Washi tape here (you get 10 yards!) and the coordinating die-cut here. There’s also a bundle you can get here; it includes both the stamps and die-cut.

It’s simple to use this washi tape! Start by adhering a strip of it to white card stock (vellum or window sheet also works). Then use the die-cut to cut all of the pieces out.

I created a free project sheet for this card. Click here to download it or print it out.

There’s also a video tutorial for this card and another sweet All Aflutter fun fold card. See it below.

• Use your scraps with the Double Twisted Ribbon technique; live class tonight!

  October 24, 2022

  ---

  If you like using up those paper scraps I have a fun technique to share.  It's called the Double Twisted Ribbon technique. 

  I'll be demonstrating it on tonight's Stamp with Me Live on Facebook.  It's at 7:30 pm Central time on the last Monday of the month and it's a free class!  See the replay here

  

  I chose to use the Lights Aglow specialty designer paper seen here for my card samples.  It's so pretty with the gold foil accents and fine patterns.  

  Tips:

  • You'll need 6 strips of two different patterns; you can also use card stock for them.  I cut them into 1/2" X 4" strips.  
  • The strips are adhered to a White piece measuring 2 1/2" X 5 1/4".  This is scored every 1" from the top down.  These score lines help you when adhering your strips. 
  • Once your strips are adhered you will add it to a layer measuring 2 3/4" X 5 1/2".  I recommend you use a color that coordinates with a color in your DSP.  

  For this card I chose to use the Holly Berry dies for the leaves & berries.  The greeting die-cut is from the All That dies.  

  

  My card base is Evening Evergreen.  The greeting is from the upcoming Framed & Festive stamp set.  It's new and available to Demonstrators in October, but will be out for customers in November.  

  For this next card I stamped the greeting (also from the Framed & Festive stamp set) onto a die-cut circle from the Stylish Shapes dies.

  

  That pretty gold leaf die-cut is from the upcoming Framed Floret dies – also coming out in November for customers.  I added a few Festive Pearls for berries.

• Triple Accordion fun fold card with Lights Aglow DSP; easy but WOW!

  October 21, 2022

  ---

  I love this unique fun fold card; I'm calling it a triple accordion card.  I demonstrated it on this week's FB Live video.  See it here on my YouTube channel.  

  

   

  I featured the Lights Aglow specialty designer paper seen here.  It's so beautiful in Cherry Cobbler, Soft Succulent, Black, Evening Evergreen and pretty gold foil accents. Luckily it's back in stock right now. 

   

  Here's what the card looks like folded flat.  It shows off multiple sheets of the designer paper and fits in a standard A2 envelope, measuring 5 1/2" X 4 1/4". 
  

  I used a few other products here; especially gold themed items. 

  Gold foil and Gold Distressed paper, Elegant Metallic trim, Gold embossing powder & Festive Pearls.  I also used the Twinkling Lights and Layering Circle dies and the Brightest Glow stamp set.

  For variety I added some Evening Evergreen to the next card.  

  

  Measurements: 

  • Cherry Cobbler card base 4 ¼” X 11” scored at 2 ½”, 3 ¾”, 6 ¾” & 8 ¼”
  • DSP 2 pieces at 4” X 4”, the center Cherry square is 3". Vanilla 2 ½” X 4”

  Below you can see the gold tree & dotted die-cut snowflakes & garland from the Twinkling Lights dies here.  Again, the greetings are all from the Brightest Glow stamp set seen here. 

  The greeting die-cut for the 'joy' is from the Potted Succulents dies; a few loops of gold cord are added underneath it.  

  

   

  Which one do you prefer; the card with some Evergreen or the one all Cherry Cobbler?

• Look what you can do with the Charming Landscapes embossing folders

  October 20, 2022

  ---

  I shared a fun way to use the Charming Landscapes embossing folders in this week's FB Live video.  Look! 

  

  After I textured White card stock with the folders I trimmed the excess off and adhered it over a piece of Lights Aglow designer paper and then onto my White card base.  So simple with just a little bit of fussy cutting.  See the Charming Landscapes embossing duo here. 

  

  The greeting is from the Brightest Glow stamp set, heat embossed with Gold embossing powder.  A few loops of gold cording is added to the back.  

  Here's another version; a bit more fussy cutting on this one though! 

  

  This one did take more time to trim….  I added light So Saffron Blends marker and Wink of Stella to the little village houses.

  What do you think?  I love the elegance of the Black, White & Gold colors.  

  

   

  Below is the video where I show these cards and a special fun fold card too.  All made with the beautiful Lights Aglow specialty designer paper seen here.  

   

  There are still a few spots left in my Lights Aglow Christmas card kit to go.  Click here to see it.  Or get the PDF tutorial here.
