Great way to use the Extraordinary Washi Tape with video

We made this beautiful card at my February card clubs. It features the Extraordinary Washi Tape from the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog.

Save

Aren’t they pretty? And because the washi tape includes two color combinations (all in one roll) I was able to offer two choices of colors. You can see this pretty Washi tape here.

It also has a stamp & die bundle that matches it perfectly. I used only the single die seen here. What I love about this die is it cuts out all of one huge panel of flowers/leaves all at once! It’s a most amazing product, (well named) and incredible that you get 16 gorgeous flowers cut all at once!

That neat embossing folder on the large Vanilla is called Beautiful Pattern and can be seen here.

My colors include Old Olive and Very Vanilla, plus Calypso Coral with Petal Pink and Berry Burst with Fresh Freesia. We wrapped Old Olive twine around the Vanilla layer twice and tied it into a bow to anchor the flowers & greeting.

The other bundle I used is the Words of Beauty seen here. So many possibilities for greetings in this one.

Save

A few other dies used here are theTextured Notes dies seen here (which are retiring but unavailable right now) and the Label Me Grateful dies which just retired.

I also used the ‘With You in Mind’ stamp set for the inside: A thin 1/4″ strip of matching CS finished it off nicely.

• Happiest Day card with video tutorial; a simple layout with a gorgeous look

  October 14, 2024

  ---

  On last week's Live video I chose the Happiest Day stamp set as my featured product.  It was discounted during the 3 day stamp sale but you can see it here. Here's one of the cards I made:

  I chose to use our 2023-25 In Colors; Pretty in Pink, Peach Pie and Petunia Pop along with Black. We have glimmer paper in these colors too so I added three strips to the card base at a diagonal.  See it here.  The strips adds a bit of a whimsical look that matches these cute dragonflies. 

  Here's how I stamped the inside.

  For the hearts I used that same glimmer paper along with the Humble Home Builder punch (out of stock currently).

  The circle die-cut for the greeting is from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here. These dies are back in stock now! The White rectangle is a die-cut from the Deckled Rectangles seen here.

  I did not make a project sheet for this card since it's so simple. 

  Here are the measurements:

  • White card base – 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4", White deckled rectangle die-cut 2 5/8" X 3 7/8", circle die-cut1 5/8"
  • Black – 2 3/4" X 4 1/8"
  • Glimmer paper strips – 5 1/4" X 3/8"

  Check out the video below; I share one more unique card with a special edge technique and a few other ideas as well.
