Making a Card from Trash

Learn how to create texture while using packing paper. #cardmaking #crafttutorial

There are many materials around you that can be used for crafting. I recently bought a glass item that came wrapped in brown packing paper. Before throwing it away, I thought I could use it for crafting. I used a stamp pad to enhance the wrinkles for a textural background.

After inking the paper, I coordinated cardstock, a colored envelope, and a sentiment I had in my stash that was made with washi tape.

If you would like to learn how to make the washi tape words, that tutorial can be found here: [washi words]

Artist Trading Card and Giveaway

Making an artist trading card turned greeting card with products from Dress My Craft – and giveaway! #dressmycraft #giveaway #crafttutorial

with Dress My Craft

I am making an Artist Trading card, turned into a greeting card with products from Dress My Craft. DMC provided me with various products to try as well as for a giveaway.

The links provided are for your use and may contain affiliate links.
They cost nothing for you to use.
Thank you in advance for supporting this site with its use.

The products in the giveaway are transfer sheets, tweezers, a small tray, a die cut, an embossing folder, and a few different shaker bits.

I am using an artist trading card I cut with an SVG file [trading cards SVG] on a Cricut Maker and then used an ink-smooching technique. You can see details of the process in the video tutorial below.

I inked an embossing folder, stamped it onto the card to create a subtle texture, and then I applied an image transfer.

I added a 3D sticker from Dollar Tree that I inked and a few clear embellishments from Dress My Craft. The trading card is finished but I decided to turn it into a greeting card.
