Recently I was finally able to order the “Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape”. This item has been VERY popular since the release of the Annual Catalog in early May and has been in and out of stock numerous times. Needless to say, I was happy to finally get my hands on this product and start creating! HERE and HERE are my two previous creations with the “Extraordinary Flora” Bundle.
For this particular card, I chose to incorporate several items to complete my card. I started with the “Everyday Arches” Dies and cut a window in the White cardstock panel. Next, I ran the white panel through the “Cut & Emboss Machine” with the “Pressed Flowers” Embossing Folder. My Happy Birthday greeting came from the “Unbounded Love” stamp set. My greeting was stamped in Strawberry Slush, one of my favorite NEW “In Colors”! I centered the white panel behind the arch die cut window and layered onto a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock. The folded card base is also Strawberry Slush.
I unrolled a stretch of the “Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape” and placed on to a piece of white cardstock. With one pass through the “Cut & Emboss Machine”, the “Extraordinary Flora” Die did all the hard work! What is so wonderful about the Washi Tape is that it is re-positionable. This means if you get a wrinkle in the tape, just lift and re-position the tape, it’s that easy! Next, I chose a few of the die cut floral images to add to my card front. I placed the double flower die cut up on “Dimensionals” and this allowed me to tuck the other images around the center die cut.
To complete my card, I added a double “Linen Thread” Bow with a “Mini Glue Dot”. Lastly, I colored the silver “Rhinestone Basic Jewels” with my “Darling Duckling” Blends and added to the flower centers. This color has a slight green hue and it seemed to match the “Extraordinary Floral Washi Tape” really well. A cute and easy card, just my style!
