YouTube tutorial: DIY Ethereal Elegance: Crafting with Thoughtful Journey Paper

By | September 23, 2024

Transform your paper crafts with the Thoughtful Journey 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. These watercolor-inspired sheets feature dreamy floral and abstract designs, perfect for cards, gift tags, boxes, and banners. Use the delicate scenes as eye-catching focal points or layer the patterns for depth, adding a touch of whimsical elegance to all your creations. I’ll demonstrate how to craft a stunning card using these papers in an accompanying video tutorial, so you can easily bring this beauty to life in your own projects.

Today’s card features the Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper (DSP) as the focal point. The card has a Basic White background with a subtle textured pattern (Dashing Designs 3D Embossing Folder). The main focal point is a colorful bouquet of die-cut leaves and floral shapes in pastel shades of Highland Heather, Calypso Coral, Lost Lagoon, and Peach Pie taken from the DSP.

The bouquet is tied together with a delicate gold string bow (retired Simple Elegant Trim). Small gold embellishments, from a previous Paper Pumpkin Kit, are scattered around the design for added decoration. A small white tag at the bottom of the card reads “HI, FRIEND” in black lettering (tuxedo Black) from the Wonderful Thoughts Bundle.

The card has a border in soft watercolor-like shades from the Thoughtful Journey DSP.

The card features coordinated design elements, with the same decorative paper used to create a border on the inside of the card as well as to embellish the envelope flap.
