Postage-Perfect Precision | Jody Morrow

Hello, Friends! Well, this is it—the end of the year is upon us, and I couldn't be more grateful to be signing off 2025 with the last blog post of the year. It's been a beautiful year, thanks to Pinkfresh products, and I can't wait to see (and use) all of the new goodies coming in 2026. 

Now, onto today's card!

There is something incredibly satisfying about turning Peony Glow washi tape into a perfectly seamless collage—especially when you introduce postage-edge dies and thoughtful precision. In today’s project, I’m walking you through how to transform a single washi-covered panel into a four-quadrant postage layout that feels intentional, cohesive, and beautifully dimensional. Gold accents and strategically placed foam tape elevate the design while maintaining the soft, watercolor look that makes washi magic so special.

This technique gives you maximum impact with minimal supplies—and once you try it, you’ll want to apply it to every floral washi in your stash.

How to recreate this card:

1. Create a 5" x 5" square card base from kraft cardstock (mine is top-folding).

2. Cover a piece of white cardstock with Peony Glow washi tape and burnish firmly.

3. Die cut the entire panel using the coordinating Peony Glow die.

4. Die cut four small postage squares. Arrange the die-cut washi on three of the squares in an aesthetically pleasing way (do not adhere). Once you have an idea of the placement, temporarily tape the postage die over the die cut, then die cut the segment. Adhere to the postage squares, ensuring they are perfectly aligned along the edges.

5. Arrange the four postage squares into a quadrant formation on a 5 1/4" x 5 1/4" white cardstock panel, leaving the top-right square blank for the sentiment.

6. Adhere each postage square to the card base using foam tape for dimension and natural shadowing.

7. Gold-heat-emboss the sentiment, then die-cut it.

8. Cut a second sentiment layer from champagne glitter cardstock and adhere behind the sentiment slightly offset.

9. Attach the finished sentiment to the blank postage square using foam tape.

10. Embellish the card with clear drops with gold dust to echo the gold foiling in the washi tape.

I hope this project inspires you to look at your floral washi tapes in a new way. The postage-edge die adds such a charming, graphic touch—and when paired with precise alignment and a touch of gold, it turns a simple washi panel into something truly special.
