CARD: Lovely as a Tree Dryer Sheet Beauty and Video

January 22, 2014 by

lovely as a tree-stampinup-stampwithtamiThe “dryer sheet” technique is one of my most popular videos ever (click here or scroll below). It is so easy and beautiful,  I used it again to create this swap card for Stampin’ Up Leadership in Houston a couple of weeks ago.

Along with the dryer sheet technique, I used the Woodgrain impressions folder for the background and rubbed white craft ink over the top “direct to paper”.

    When you use this technique, how much glitter falls off the card?? I love it, but my husband doesn’t love glitter as much as I do. 🙂

      Hi Kim, if you flick the back really good you will release most of any “loose” powder. You can also spray lightly with hairspray. but honestly, I haven’t noticed much (if any) glitter fall out. Tami

    I made one of these cards using recycled dryer sheet it really does have a WOW factor when you get it done. Thanks for showing us again so I didn’t forget how beautiful they really are.

    Will an added greeting stick to the front of the card after it has been glittered, or will the glitter prevent good adhesion? I would like to add a popped up greeting if possible.

    Hi Tami – this is a fun technique to do – I have been sharing it with my stamp club ladies for about 3 years now – instead of the spray adhesive we use a Xyron machine – that is how I learned to do it – can’t remember where I originally learned from – we usually use Lovely As a Tree or a couple of the Thomas Kincaid stamps that I have – one of my gals has a background stamp that is all butterflies so we did try that one – we used Pretty in Pink & Raspberry Ripple. I will check to see if I have any photos of them and email them to you.
