Gorgeous card! I can’t wait to give it a try. Both cards are perfect, but I do like the sentiment all the way to the left of the card.
Donna thrilled you like this card!! this technique gives a special touch to any card!! Have fun making yours!!
Lisa, I love this card and I am certainty going to give it a try. Just wanted to tell you that I enjoy all of your videos. You are very good at explaining everything, giving us tips and make everything a lot easier for us new bee’s. Thank you so much for sharing .
Barb you are most welcome!! I hope you have fun making your cards!! Thank you so much for your kindness!!
Will the regular tissue paper used for gift wrapping work? I didn’t keep the tissue paper that was in my Stampin Up items.
Donna yes you can use that tissue. Be sure to wrinkle it well. It may not be as translucent. Thanks for stopping by today!!
What types of items have the tissue paper in the packages? I’ m wondering if you could separate Kleenex?
I just listened to the beginning of the video again and heard what you said about the tissue. I have the Forever Gold package so I have some of that tissue. I’m going to give it a try!
Wonderful!! Have fun with your card Vicki!!
Vicki thanks so much for watching today!! This thin tissue is between window sheets and some specialty laser cut papers. Not sure about Kleenex. You will have to give it a test try!
Lisa I love fall! My favorite card is the one you made before the video with the greeting inside the cards base.
Kelly thanks so much for visiting today!! I am with you, I love all the fall colors and that time of year!!
Lisa, I am a fellow demonstrator (hobby) and I love your videos. This technique looks similar to the dryer sheet one. Love them both. Thanks for sharing your beautiful cards.
