Quick and Simple Painter’s Tape Technique Tutorial

Today’s card uses a quick and simple technique that is so easy to do. It’s one of the first techniques I used when I learned how to stamp as it is an easy way to add color to your projects.

Thoughtful Journey Torn Edge Card

It’s that time of year to look back at 2025 and say goodbye. When I was a teenager one of my favorite things was listening to the countdown on the radio of the years hits. Now I watch the year in review on the news – It reminds me of many things I’ve already forgotten as the year seems to fly by.

So this week I thought I’d share a look back with you, some “silver & gold” from my craft room – this childhood song is about making friends. I’ve always like the meaning of the friendship song of making new friends and keeping the old – “some are silver and the others gold”. How about you?

Today’s card uses a quick and easy torn edge technique and since the Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper (163303) is beautiful landscape designs it’s perfect for this card.

I’ve teamed this paper up with the retired Thoughtful Wishes Stamp set and Dies which are retired. You might already have this on your shelves, if not you can use another sentiment set that you love.

Here is my video tutorial and PDF for you – the PDF includes a complete supply list and measurements.
