Guest Designer, Emily's Dryer Sheet Card

Hi there.  Welcome back to another great challenge here at Sweet Stamps.  I had my Christmas in July card all ready to blog and guess what..I got to learn a new technique and have some fun playing.  You will too if you try this Dryer Sheet technique.

I used Mr. and Mrs. Snowman stamp set, but only used Mrs. Snowman to make the card.  I used my BIC Markers to color in the image.  I then cut it out using my Cuttlebug and the Oval Nestabilities Classics and Scallops.


When I asked my husband to hand me one of the dryer sheets out of the basket where I keep them for dust rags, he looked at me like I was a whackadoodle.  He saw what I was doing and really thought I had lost my mind.  After he saw the finished product he was pretty impressed.   I have some Therm O Web double sided adhesive sheets that I used to attach the dryer sheet.  It made the process so easy.  I matted the image onto a die cut scalloped oval using DCWV Christmas Card stock Pack from a few years ago.  It's heavy decorative paper so it works well for mats.  I stamped both the image and the sentiment onto Gina K Heavy Base weight Ivory card stock and inked around the edges with DI Vintage Photo before adhering them to the mats.  The note sheet DP is from the new The Paper Studio Old World Christmas stack and the background DP is from the same DCWV stack.  I ran the BG DP through my Cuttlebug using a Chevron EF.  That bright ribbon is from stash from who knows how long ago.

I hope that y'all will try this neat technique and enter a card into this challenge.  You just might be a winner!

Guest Designer Card by Hilde: Dryer sheet technique

Hi there, hope you have been enjoying the parchment challenge. This is my contribution to the dryer sheet challenge....I have to confess that the dryer sheet I had was so solid you could not see through it, so what to do, what to do.....??? I had found some gauze that was loosely woven and even though the material is slightly different the effect is still the same, and I must say I like it....
I used the gorgeous Pointsettia Corner ( 746 E) twice, and the sentiment stamp, 
Jesus is the reason for the season ( 961 D).
I kept it mainly uncluttered/CAS, I didn't think it need too much more...I ink distressed the edges and matted it on red, then covered with dryer sheet/gauze and attached to main card, I used papers from my stash, found this cute little red and silver bow...I always colour with Pro Markers, and I used gold coloured liquid pearls for the centre of the flowers....the background card is on a very dark grey/almost black shimmer.
Have fun, blessings Hilde

DRYER SHEET TECHNIQUE 

Since dryer sheets aren't available to all our International Sweeties, Irit provided this great tip: use a dry baby wipe to get a similar look! 

Here's a tutorial on this fun technique! If you don't have a Xyron or spray adhesive, you can use our Super Sticky Tape which now comes in 8.5" x 11" sheets!

Now for some inspiration from our DT Sweeties:
