Happy Hawwmp Day, y’all! It’s Wednesday and things are going well here in Utah! The days are brisk and gorgeous. Things are working pretty much how one might expect. And…only 45 days to go! Whoo-hoo!
So – my card today is so quick and so easy and so fun – that it’s sorta cray cray! I just used some pretty metallic Year of Cheer Specialty Washi Tape and the Cheers to the Year stamp set to make a pretty mixed metals holiday season card. Take a look-see:
The layout is from the sketch portion of the Fusion Challenge.
This one’ll go quick y’all, so buckle up!
I started with a piece of Very Vanilla card stock and ran strips of the new Year of Cheer Specialty Washi Tape up from the bottom. Then I Fast Fuse’d the panel to a Champagne Foil mat.
Done!
I used some Liquid Glue to adhere a Foil Snowflake – Vanilla side up – to the card front.
For my sentiment, I heat embossed the striped circle image in Copper Stampin’ Emboss Powder on Very Vanilla. Then I added the sentiment – heat embossed in Gold – in the center, using my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig. I punched it out with my 2″ Circle Punch. Using the new Starburst Punch, I made a Champagne Foil mat and adhered the sentiment to it with Liquid Glue.
I put several Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back of the matted circle and used them to wind loops of Copper Metallic Thread around and around. Then I popped it all onto the snowflake and that was it for the card front!
On the inside, I added some more of the Specialty Washi Tape on the bottom of a Very Vanilla panel. Uhm….how easy is that??
I Fast Fuse’d the panel to a Champagne Foil mat and into my Thick Very Vanilla card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!
My Very Vanilla Medium Envelope got a Copper heat embossed snowflake from the Cheers to the Year stamp set on the front…
…and more Year of Cheer Specialty Washi Tape on the envelope flap. Just lay the strips down (start at the top) and then trim the excess with your Paper Snips!
Et Voila! Pretty. Easy. Fun! And – suitable for Christmas, Holiday Greetings, a wedding? New Baby??
Gotta love this beautiful metallic Year of Cheer Specialty Washi Tape and the wonderful Cheers to the Year stamp set. Hope you like!

What a pretty card Mary! That washi tape is the best pack ever!! Loving the mixed metallics too. Perfect, clean design! 🙂
I know – it’s just gorgeous!! Thanks much, Amy! 🙂
Easy, joyful…yes, it’s all that! Great job on getting the washi tape straight! Love it!!
LOL! It was a challenge, for sure!! Thanks so much, Karen. 🙂
Pretty card, but one i WON’T be doing. I would NEVER get all those lines straight.
Wasn’t all that hard, really – just start from the BOTTOM so you can use the card stock to get started straight! Thanks so much, Julie! 🙂
Great card, Mary! I always forget to use my washi tape🙄 This tape is especially beautiful! Glad your work is going well – hang in there – 45 days will go by in a flash!
Thanks, Elisha! Pull that tape out and get it on a card!! 🙂
Looks like a shiny DSP–so straight and pretty! Love those colors. Perfect take on the sketch! TFS.
Thanks so much, Susan! 🙂
Love your card and please keep up the Finn Fan Fix for all of us.
Thanks much, Linda! 🙂 Finn Fan Fixes will have to be on a bit of a hiatus – I’m away from home on business until the 19th of November. So…I don’t have fun stories until I can get back to where he is! 🙁
Such an elegant card – lovely! Thanks for playing along with us at Fusion card challenge 🙂
