Here's the cards I made:
I had so many of you asking how the new Stripes Card Wrap die worked so I combined that with the new From The Rooftops stamp set (as well as 3 new sentiment dies on the inside) to make my cards.
These are 4 1/4" square cards.
This Stripes Card Wrap die is really easy to use once you've done it once or twice. I explain it all in the video, and once I got started I decided to make 3 cards with it.
I used Ranger watercolor paper for all the inner cards (that are 4x4") and stamped the images from the From The Rooftops stamp set with Versafine Onyx black ink then watercolored them in with my Sakura Koi watercolors.
On this card I splattered a bunch of Copic Opaque White paint to make it look like snow.
For this card I masked the buildings after watercoloring (and everything was dry) then splattered on the Copic Opaque white lightly so that it looked more like stars.
On all the cards I added sentiments that I'd stamped and heat embossed on black card stock with white embossing powder.
I finished off all the insides of the cards with die cut sentiments using new dies from the Friends release and that was it!
To see how this card came together check out my video below:

I get asked a lot about where to purchase the supplies I use in my videos and blog posts. I list all the supplies I use at the end of my posts (below) or in the description box directly below my video on YouTube. If the products have little icons below the image it means there's more than one place it can be purchased. You can hover over the icons and it will tell you what store that link will take you to. Compensated affiliate links used when possible at no extra cost to you. Affiliate linking is what keeps my blog and YouTube channel up and running and enables me to work from home with my kids! I appreciate your support more than words can say!
I occasionally receive product for free from stores/manufacturer with no obligation on my part to use/review - I only use and share what I personally love. Everything else I purchase myself!
