Valentines Using Paper Source Washi Tape

My first card using Paper Source Washi Tape is a slider card. This is pretty easy to make, it can be any size as long as the pieces fit together.

I covered an A2 size piece of white cardstock with washi tape, folding the ends in the back I used 2 sets of washi tape, I listed them below under the supplies. You can use anything you want to decorate this panel, strips of paper would work too.

I used a heart die to cut out the center shape. You need to leave room for the foam tape, so keep that in mind when cutting a shape. I chose a smaller heart than could fit only because I didn't want the foam tape to show. It's easiest to watch the video to figure out how to construct this. The card is an A2 card (4 1/4" x 5 1/2").

The set of cards below are pretty self explanatory. I used the same washi tape to decorate the cards and the pet stickers. The sentiment stamp is an old one from Hero Arts.

Spellbinders Jack of All Trades Kaleidoscope Noble Suits

Oh these dies are amazing. 3 layers for each suit, to give a very cool design. I chose to try all white with the top layer bein white glitter paper. These dies look great in any colors, and multiple colors too!

I've been inspired by the work of 2 people on Instagram, @dearpaperlicious and @yana.smakula check them out if you aren't familiar with them. They have strong graphic designs, I thought it would be fun to try to use all white for these card suits. Normally I'd use the traditional red and black.

The heart would be great for Valentine's Day, I believe that will be my next card with this die.

The pink paper is by Sizzix, I like the bit of texture on it. The white glitter paper is from a small pad from Michael's. I don't have links for either of these.

Spellbinders Vivid Blooms!

I'm ready for Spring. It always seems like once the last of the winter holidays are over, Spring should be on the verge of happening. In the Midwest it's no where near Spring.

So I used the Spellbinders "Vivid Blooms" to mentally escape. I painted each of the diecuts with watercolors. The background is just some messy watercoloring on Distress Watercolor paper. In the end I spattered the card with white acrylic paint, which looks a bit like snow, LOL.

The sentiment is so pretty to me, I like a nice delicate sentiment. This one is from the same Vivid Expressions Collection, I cut it from white cardstock and layered it on a vellum shadow. The set includes the shadow dies for all the sentiments, I cut them all in white to have on hand. This is a very useful set, especially if you're like me, creating cards with little thought about the sentiment. It doesn't take away from the card.

Here are my links to the supplies I used. Thank you for using my links, I receive a small commission, at no additional cost to you. It also lets me know you find my content inspiring or useful.

Spellbinders Born to Sparkle 3D Embosssing Folder

Today I used Spellbinders Born to Sparkle 3D Embossing Folder. You can buy just the embossing folder or the embossing folder with the stencil as a set. You can't get the stencil seperately.

For my first card (above) I used the folder with a piece of holographic cardstock. It looks amazing in real life, so sparkly, I actually said, Ohhh when I saw it. I bought the cardstock from Your Paper Insider. They sell monthly boxes of assorted paper, but this paper was so popular they are selling it seperately. I have a link below under my supply list.

For the sentiment, I used some silver holographic foil, it looks great on the card.

For my 2nd card, I embossed white cardstock and then used the stencil and some colors of Distress Oxide Inks for a rainbow of colors. I diecut the sentiment Happy Birthday from a piece of pink metallic cardstock, layered on top of a white diecut for dimension. I wanted it to fit in the middle of the card, so I cut the panel down into 2 pieces and left the center empty for the sentiment.

I used pink Glimmer hot foil for the sub sentiment, and reverse hot foiled the negative space so the words would be in white while the pink foil is in the background.

The supplies I used are listed below with direct links to where you can find them. Using my link when making a purchase lets the company know you find my content useful and they give me a small commission at no extra cost to you.

Spellbinders UFO Friend in Mixed Media

My second card using the Spellbinders Simon's Space Adventure by Simon Hurley. The first card I made can be seen here: https://susanbcards.blogspot.com/2025/01/spellbinders-simons-space-adventure-in.html

I colored the diecuts the same way I did in my first card, using Lunar Pastes on black and white Mixed Media Paper.

For the background, I used Altenew watercolors on Distress watercolor paper. I did some messy watercoloring with shades of blue, using dark blue and black around the edges, and some purple in the center, drying between layers. I added spatters with white acrylic paint and silver metallic watercolor.

The sentiment is “Greetings Earthling” which I find so cute. You could also change it to “Happy Birthday Earthling”.

Spellbinders Simon's Space Adventure in Mixed Media

Spellbinders just released Simon's Space Adventure Collection by Simon Hurley.For the diecuts,

I used Scrapbookcom Mixed Media Cardstock and colored it with Lunar Pastes.

For the background, I used Distress Spray, going from light to dark, adding a bit of ink blending along the edges.

I love the way this card turned out, it reminds me of an illustration for a children's book. I made another card which I'll show later using the other dieset in this collection, UFO Friend.

Below is a YouTube Video tutorial.
