Altnew Washi Tape card set

Hi everyone!

I'm back with some more washi tape cards. I used the VERY wide Altnew washi tape again....here's a picture of some 4 x 5's I covered:

For the top card, I "wallpapered" a full sheet of white card stock though. Well, it reminded me of wallpapering anyway! (I saw this idea on the Altnew blog.) Then I cut out the flowers and adhered them to my card base.

The blue washi is not as wide as the pink flowered one, but I also adhered that to some white card stock and cut out this piece.

The sentiments are from Concord & 9th. I also added some Nuvo dots.

Stampin' Up Sunshine Sayings Bundle

Jaydee is the hostess this week at The Paper Players with a fun sketch for us!

Lately I have been into making cards with Washi tape, and I just got some from Altenew in the mail.....very wide washi! I decided one of the rolls would work well for this sketch.

I love the wide washi..it's really fun to work with. One roll is even so wide it's like wallpapering...it covers the whole card!

I took a piece of the soft blues, pinks and golds washi and placed it across the card. Then I cut out 2 flowers from Stampin Up's Sunshine Sayings Bundle and adhered them onto the card. I added a sentiment cut out in gold foil.

I decided to make another, this time vertical, using the same set from Stampin' Up.

I hope you will join us! Check out the rest of the design team here:

Tutti Designs Tool Frame

Hi everyone!

Birthday cards...seems I need them all the time!

One would think I'd have enough on hand with all the cards I make, but no...I never have the right one. LOL!

I needed to make a guy Birthday card, so I dug out Tutti's Tool Frame and did some paper piercing. I found the sentiment in my die cut stash...not sure what company though, as I had borrowed the die from a friend a few years ago. It looks perfect adhered to some Tutti pierced squares though!

(UPDATE: I realized I adhered the frame on UPSIDE down...haha! I did change it before I gave it away though!)

Have a great day!

Dies R Us Cheapo Fishing Rod

Hi everyone!

I'm sharing a card today that I made for the "Springtime" challenge at Dies R Us.

Fishing opener is coming up in May...what a great springtime activity!

First I cut out some dotted nesting rectangles from Tutti Designs, and then I cut out the fishing gear from Cheapo Dies. I think this set is SO fun, and I love all the cute pieces. They can be used in so many ways, too. The tiny bows will be fun for making Christmas cards...maybe hang some ornaments from them...or even use them on presents. The fishing pole looks awesome just by itself too. Then I added some white Nuvo dots to finish my card.

Here's a list of supplies from Dies R Us that I used:

The Paper Players Challenge "magical"

Today Sandy is the hostess at The Paper Players! Here's the awesome badge Nance made:

Oh my! I have NONE of these in my vast stamp and die collection. Not a one. But I did find some paper with unicorns on it and made this card a few weeks ago.( I'm happy to report that I have remedied that issue already and have bought a few unicorn stamps...lol!)

First I cut out a stitched rectangle from Cheery Lynn in the fun patterned paper. Then I used Cheery Lynn's Pop up Party Word die. I stamped the sentiment across the middle of it and added a row of colorful pearls. I tucked in a couple of balloons I had laying on my desk too. I think it looks pretty festive...and perfect for a kids Birthday card!

(NOTE: As I was writing this post, I just noticed this was supposed to be a CAS card...I guess I was too busy looking at the cute unicorn that I missed it!)
