Welcome to the new two-week challenge from Make My Monday, #172. Our host for #172, Dawn, chose washi tape as the theme for the challenge. Therefore, this challenge really required me to think outside the box because I have two rolls of washi, both of which are almost out.
See if you can figure out where I used washi tape on my card:
If you guessed on the “thanks” sentiment die, you guessed correctly. Here’s the washi tape I used:
A Basic Card with a Thankful Message:
I finally ordered the Amazing Thanks die set and decided it would work for this card.
I started by layering stripes of the washi tape on a piece of scrap white cardstock. Since the rows of dots are spaced out, I placed the silver tape so that each stripe would allow some of the polka dots to show.
Then, I cropped out four more “thanks” pieces so I could layer them for a 3D effect. I did this mainly because I didn’t want to deal with dimensionals or the foam adhesive sheets when I was working on the card. The resulting sentiment turned out just like the picture I had of it in my head.
The Just Jade base of the card measures 8-1/2 inches by 5-1/2 inches, scored at 4-1/4 inches to form a tent card.
After running a piece of the Bumblee cardstock through the cut and emboss machine using the Subtles embossing folder, I trimmed it to 4-1/8 inches by 5-3/8 inches.
Next, I cropped out the center using a stitched rectangle die to use as a mat for the sentiment. I used Bumblebee ink and the Artfully Layered stamp set to add the leaves to the cardstock mat.
The Artfully Layered DSP (designer series paper) measures 4 inches by 5-1/4 inches. I outlined it using a black Stamping Write Marker to make it pop off the Bumblebee layer. I also trimmed a piece of the DSP to 6 inches by 2-1/2 inches for the envelope flap.
Finishing Up:
Then, I wrapped a piece of the Just Jade chevron ribbon around the DSP and tied it on the right in a bow. I used a mini-glue dot to secure the bow to the DSP.
I already had the palm frond cropped and added it under the raised sentiment.
The sentiment mat is the only thing on dimensionals for this card. I put them there to accommodate the ribbon. My favorite adhesive, the multipurpose liquid adhesive, adhered everything else.
After I trimmed the DSP on the envelope flap and made the envelope seal, I’d finished this coordinated card, envelope, and seal set.

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s February Blog Hop! This is a great time of year to build your stash of handmade birthday cards, so we are sharing birthday-themed projects with you today. We are excited to share our creations and hope you love them! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
Here’s my Artfully Layered birthday card:
This DSP (designer series paper) has quickly become one of my go-to set of papers. The colors are spectacular! Take a look:
I used two of the patterns for my blog hop birthday card.
The landscape layout of the card was inspired by the Sunday Stamps challenge, SSC276, sketch for this week.
Measurements:
The Old Olive base measures 4-1/4 inches by 11 inches, scored at 5-1/2 inches.
In order to stay in line with the sketch while adding texture, I added a layer of Old Olive cardstock. Since the Bark 3D embossing folder will leave such a deep imprint, I didn’t trim the cardstock to 4-1/8 inches by 5-3/8 inches until after I embossed it.
Next, I trimmed two pieces of the DSP for the slanted pieces of the card. Each piece measures ————
While I had the DSP handy, I trimmed a piece to 6 inches by 2-1/2inches for the envelope flap.
The white cardstock panel on the inside measures 4 inches by 5-1/4 inches.
I used a scrap piece of white cardstock for the sentiment tag.
Assembly:
After embossing the Old Olive layer, I popped it up on dimensionals and adhered it to the base.
Next, I placed each layer of DSP on opposite slants and adhered them with multipurpose glue.
Using the Biggest Wish stamp set, I stamped “happy” using Mango Melody and then “birthday” using Just Jade. Mango Melody is part of the background design on the DSP.
Then I cropped out the sentiment using the second largest die from the Tailor-Made die set.
Since there are Evening Evergreen leafy branches in the DSP, I used the Evening Evergreen open weave ribbon for the tag accessory.
The sentiment tag is popped up on dimensionals and then I adhered it to the front of the card.
Now, all I needed to do was stamp the sentiment on the inside and adhere it to the inside of the card using multipurpose glue.
Finally, I trimmed the DSP on the envelope flap, punched the seal and ran it through the XYRON create-a-sticker. With that, I’d finished this coordinated card, envelope, and seal set.

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month, the theme is Birthday Bash. We really hope that you enjoy and will be inspired by them! As you hop from blog to blog, we would appreciate your comments because we enjoy hearing from you. You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
For this theme, I decided that I wanted to show the versatility of the gorgeous Artfully Composed DSP (designer series paper) by creating both a masculine and a feminine card using the same elements.
Here are my cards:
