Dryer Sheet Technique for Facebook Live

  Hello and Happy Friday! Here are the projects that I featured on my Facebook Live yesterday featuring a fun technique using dryer sheets to create some sparkly holiday cards. It is such a fun technique, albeit a little messy. The end result is SO worth it though. The key is to use a used dryer sheet for this technique, so you’ll have to do a load of laundry before you sit down to create your card. 

I have listed all of the supplies I used at the end of this post and the measurements for the cards are listed under their photos.   

You can see the replay of my Facebook Live video by clicking HERE. 
(There you can see how to do the dryer sheet technique along with other tips to create these cards.)

I used the images from the timeless Lovely as a Tree stamp set and the sentiments/Framelits are from the Farmhouse Christmas suite that is coming out in the Stampin’ Up! ® Holiday Catalog on September 5th. I just love this technique to add a lot of sparkle and texture to a card. Two of my favorite things! 

Measurements for the first card:  

•  Pool Party Card Base - 5-1/2” x 8-1/2”, scored at 4-1/4”
• Silver Foil Paper - 5-1/4” x 4” 
• Whisper White Cardstock - 5-1/8” x 3-7/8” 
• Pool Party Cardstock - 2-5/8” x 4-1/2” 
• Whisper White Cardstock - 2-3/8” x 4-1/2”
• Whisper White Cardstock (inside of card) - 4” x 5-1/4"

 Here is the inside of the card. I originally was thinking about using the new Buffalo Check background stamp on the front of my card, but it was a wee bit “busy” and I decided against it. I didn’t want to waste it, so I added a little piece to the inside of the card to dress it up a bit. 

For the second card, I paired Early Espresso and Petal Pink for a non-traditional holiday color combo. You don’t necessarily have to use this for a holiday card though. 

Measurements for the second card: 

•  Early Espresso Card Base - 4-1/4” x 11”, scored at 5-1/2” 
• Petal Pink Cardstock - 4” x 5-1/4”
• Wood Textures DSP - 5-1/8” x 3-7/8” (save a 1” x 5-1/4” piece for the inside of the card)
• Early Espresso Cardstock - 
• Whisper White Cardstock - 2” x 3-3/4” 
• Whisper White Cardstock (inside of card) - 4” x 5-1/4"

I used the new Braided Linen Trim and the little stars are from the Festive Farmhouse Accents, which  are also in the upcoming Holiday Catalog. That is one of my favorite suites of products in the upcoming catalog. I’m working on a class with those products this week as well. 

A quick look inside the card using a little bit of the DSP, a sentiment from the Farmhouse Christmas stamp set and a simple tree, which was masked off from there larger stamped image.  

Here is a look at how the cards looked using different patterns of the Woodgrain Textures Designer Series Paper. It’s a subtle difference and I really like them both. That paper is so versatile and definitely a “must have” in my opinion. 

Now though August 31st, 2018 there is an awesome offer going on from Stampin’ Up!® For every $50 you spend, you will receive a $5 voucher to use on your purchases between September 1-30, 2018. The Holiday Catalog launches on September 5th, so that’s a great way to save some money on new products.
