Tear Strip Card Tutorial with Tya

Hi there Lori Whitlock fans! It’s Tya here to share with you a super fun tutorial. If you are looking to spice up your handmade cards – look no further! I am going to share with you how to make a card with a tear away strip on it. It is so fun and easy! Let me show you how I did it!

 So I was looking on a Pinterest board for cool and creative card ideas and I stumbled upon this cool business card and knew I had to see if I could do the same on a regular card.

And imagine my surprise when I found that Lori had designed a file for the Silhouette with not one but FOUR different tear away strips! I was so excited to try it out and share with you how to do it –

 

LW-Scalloped-Card-Envelope-Set

 

First off – find a card base that you like – I used a scalloped edge card – add the card base and the tear strip cut files on the workspace-

I added the tear away strip to the bottom right edge of my card base. Make sure that you get the edge of the tear away strip right flush with the edge of the paper so that it will tear all the way off. (See below)

Now let’s choose a sentiment. Using the draw a rectangle tool (the rectangle shape on the top, left side of the side toolbar) draw a rectangle about and inch high and as wide as your card base. Type out your sentiment. (I used the print and cut feature, but you can use your word processing program instead if you prefer). Cut this out.

 

Now to make sure it lines up with your tear away strip, I like to lift up the edge slightly as shown and then lay the sentiment down to the inside of the card base.

 

Now that we have our sentiment down, its time to decorate the front. I used Lori’s darling I Love Sunshine line from Echo Park to make my cards.

This technique is really quite easy, but I think it packs a lot of punch and is a fun way to add an interactive element to your cards. Kids will love this!

Here are the cards close up – Before the tear strip is torn off –

And after!

 

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you all have a great day!

July Blog Hop

Welcome to our July 2015 Creative Team Blog Hop!

This summer is going so fast. It’s been a different one for us as my son graduated from high school and is preparing to leave the nest. In fact, he’s preparing to serve a 2-year mission for the LDS church. He will be going to Richmond, Virginia in just a couple of short weeks. I’m so excited for him and his new adventures but at the same time I’m a little sad inside thinking of him being gone for 2 years.  That has sort of thrown me for a loop this summer. So, if there is anyone out there reading this post from the Richmond, Virginia area, please look out for my son, he’s coming! He’s a great young man!

I have a fun announcement to make! Dresden Carrie is now joining Kolette and I in the SVG shop. You’ll find a new selection of her fun and crafty fonts in the shop today. Be sure to go check out her fun files!
