Elements of an Aloha Card<\/h2>\n

Start by creating a couple of floral backgrounds with stencils and ink. Don’t have any stencils that will work? Use tropical-themed patterned papers instead!<\/p>\n

\n
\"Aloha<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Apply a strip of Crafty Power Tape Polybag 81ft<\/a> on the edge of a cardstock strip. Designer’s Tip:<\/strong> I find an air hockey paddle is a great tool for burnishing tape as it’s flat and allows you to apply pressure evenly because it has felt underneath it. Take the top liner off. Then, with the color-side up, gently rub a piece of bronze foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors<\/a>, with your fingertips to the tape. <\/p>\n

\n

Adhere your floral stenciled paper onto a card and then add the strip to it with the E-Z Runner\u00ae Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser<\/a>. Decorate the foiled strip with a small strip of patterned paper and a couple of Creative Photo Corners Kraft<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Aloha<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Create a sentiment on a strip of cardstock. Set it on your card for measurement and placement. <\/p>\n

\n
\"Aloha<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Remove the sentiment strip. Randomly add some adhesive from the E-Z Runner\u00ae Petite Permanent Dots Refillable Dispenser<\/a> to it and place the gold thread on it. Make sure that it peeks out from behind the sentiment. <\/p>\n

\n
\"Aloha<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Mount your sentiment strip on your card with Crafty Foam Tape White<\/a>. Complete the card by applying a couple of Adhesive Dots Micro<\/a> to it and burnishing foil onto them. <\/p>\n

\n
\"Aloha<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Change the Look with Lighter Colors and More<\/h2>\n

You can follow these steps to make a whole bunch of cards! <\/p>\n

\n
\"Aloha<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Mix up your design by using a slightly lighter color scheme! You can also change where you place the Creative Photo Corners Kraft<\/a> on your foiled strip of cardstock.<\/p>\n

\n

Another way to mix things up is to add more Adhesive Dots Micro<\/a> to your design!<\/p>\n

I hope you are inspired to make a few tropical-inspired cards of your own! <\/p>\n

Happy creating!
