Quick Cards with Washi Tape Die Cuts

 Hello again and welcome to my blog!

Today I wanted to show you a couple cards that I made with the PinkFresh Studios Anemone Magic Washi Tape and Dies. I absolutely love these products and they are my new go to for quick cards and scrapbook layouts! They are so easy to use and I almost bought everything!

As always, if you would like to watch instead of read, you can click the YouTube link below.



I started with laying out  my washi tape on some Neenah Exact 110lb cardstock. I kept it thin so as to not make my card so thick for easy mailing. This is a nice broad washi tape and I love that it has beautiful colours along with some foiling. Once I got any bubbles out, I lined up my coordinating die and cut out all of the elements in one swift run through my Big Shot Plus. 

I then used the Spellbinders Slimline Flora Embossing Folder to dry emboss a piece of Cream Recollections cardstock. I adhered this along with a die cut frame, cut using the Altenew Slim Deco Frames set with Sizzix Gold Metallic Mirror cardstock, to a corresponding white card base. (Make sure to keep the negative pieces of the die cut because we can use this for the inside of the card.) 

I then arranged the die cut washi floral elements around the frame and in the center of the card front. I adhered these with  BearlyArt glue and added a foiled "Happy Birthday" sentiment from the Spellbinder's Yana's Sentiments Glimmer Plate set, using Spellbinders Polished Brass foil on black cardstock. This set is nice because it comes with coordinating dies to cut out the sentiments. I then added some PinkFresh Studios Jewel Mix embellishments in light blue and white.

For the card inside, I tried to keep it simple. I used a sentiment from the Mama Elephant Inside Birthday Messages stamp set. I just go this from Simon Says Stamp and have been trying to look for more card inside sentiments to use. These are perfect for birthdays! I stamped this out with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink and then I used the scripty 'Happy Birthday" sentiment from the Honey Bee Stamps Birthday: Inside stamp set with some  Nuvo Peach Blossom Hybrid ink. 

I adhered some more of those beautiful anemone florals we cut out of the washi to kind of frame the inside of the card. And remember those gold negative die cuts I said to hang on to earlier? Well you can actually use those die cut strips to further frame the inside. I placed a few of these strips on the top and bottom of the card inside with some Artist-tac Dry Adhesive. 

And there you have a beautiful card made in virtually 10 minutes. It really didn't take me that long, so I also went ahead and made another card front. I did not complete the inside but when I do, I imagine it will be much the same as the one above. 

For this one, I made a 4.5" x 6" card. I used the same cream cardstock and anemone washi but I chose to use the Concord & 9th Thinking of You Perfect Pairings Die. I cut it out of the same Sizzix Gold Metallic Mirror cardstock using just the frame die. I then arranged the large anemone floral piece in the center of the frame, having it tuck under the bottom left corner and stick out on top at the top right corner. 

I then added a couple of the smaller florals in the empty corners. I added the same sentiment foiled in the same way but on white cardstock. And this time the embossing folder I used was the Simon Says Stamp Blossom Field embossing folder, which I recently happened to get my hands on in the SSS July Card Kit. (Unfortunately, I think this is sold out now but you can buy the folder separately. Furthermore, if you click my link to the folder, SSS actually lists the different types of sandwiches you can use depending on your die cut machine to get a good impression.) I finished it off with the same embellishments and again this card front took me no time at all! 

That's all I have for today! I hope there was something inspiring in this post for you and feel free to leave a comment, as I love hearing from you!
