I use a 8.5 x 11 stack of thin designer paper I bought a long time ago for making my envelopes. The paper isn't really my style anymore, so rather than throw it away, I turn it into envelopes for my odd shaped cards. I usually add a little something to them to make them coordinate with the card.
Supplies and Tools:
Kraft/Teal/White/Red Cardstock, Teacup Stamp (PSX), Paper Doily, Circle & Scallop Circle Nestabilities (Spellbinders), Stamp and Cut Handmade Tags (Hero Arts), Choose Happiness (Stampin' Up), Different Strokes Stamp Set (Basic Grey), Washi Tape, Biblical Impressions, Sequins, Fired Brick , Mermaid Lagoon, & Vintage Photo Distress Ink (Tim Holtz)

I love your long card and all the elements including the washi!
This is stunning, Esther. Your cards for the coffee hop have all been amazing. I hope you win a prize. I've played along in this challenge for years now, and I've never once won anything. I always say "I'm finished", and then I do it again. I'm not sure why...guess it's cuz I really do LOVE coffee and love making coffee cards for my coffee-loving friends and relatives. I honestly have had fun commenting on all the entries (yup, every single one) even though I won't be in the running for that prize either (just a personal decision). There have been some AMAZING cards. Anyway...good luck to you. Your cards have been gorgeous.
Also, thanks for having me again as a GDT for CropStop. I appreciate you thinking of me. It's nice to see the participation growing a bit in the challenge, and all the great tutorials you share. I hope Haylie-Jo is getting more traffic in the store because of all your efforts.
I appreciate you!
Have a blessed day,

Oh how sweet!
Such a nice card!!! So pretty!!!
Great idea, as I have loads of that type of paper, also. Pretty card, and thanks for the pattern.
Love the use of Washi, great card!
This is just gorgeous and such a beautiful design. Love how you did the washi papers and also stamped the sprig of leaves - perfection.
I love that verse, what a beautiful card!
So beautiful and I love the use of the doily and washi tape.
Love the design of the card, pretty combo of washi tape and sequins! I do the same thing with my paper that I don't think I would use on my cards I use them for envelopes :)
this is very beautiful card
Beautifully done with just the perfect bit of sparkle. Thanks for the template. Great idea for using up some of that older paper, too. Wonderful to have you joining in the fun at Tuesday Throwdown Challenge. Good luck. Debi DT
