Washi Tape Cards

Occasionally, one of my creative friends, Cindy, comes over to create with me.  One day she had stopped over at Michaels and picked up some pretty washi tape.  We decided to make cards using it.  We picked out some blue cardstock to match the washi tape colors and then cut out a heart shape with heart framelits using the Big Shot.

We added washi tape to the card in strips and then tucked that under the heart shape.  The decorative borders on the cards are just washi tape strips.

We even cut out butterflies from the washi tape to use as embellishments.

This card has some acetate under the heart cut-out and some beads and other confetti enclosed in the window to make it a shaker card.

And lastly, we just put washi tape in strips to make this card.  What fun cards we made.  And the best part - making crafts with my friend.  :)

Using the New Stamp Set

Although I love using all of my stamp sets (and I do have a lot of them!), it's always fun to get a new one.  This stamp set, Work of Art was given to all of the demonstrators who attended the Catalog Preview night.  Strangely enough it was held at the Crossgates Mall in the movie theater!  Go figure that one.

I wanted to use a purple palette for this card and just kept adding embellishments until I was satisfied with.  It's got washi tape, ribbon, punched leaves and flowers, some painting, a jeweled brad and some rhinestones.  Oh yeah, I also sewed the edges!  Maybe that's why I like it so much.  :)

Using Washi Tape

I just love the new washi tape from Stampin Up.  At first I didn't know how I would use it in my crafting projects, but after a few minutes of being on Pinterest and seeing all of the ideas, that problem was solved!

This card is a shaker card, meaning it is three-dimensional and has a window with some glitter in it that you can shake.  I copied the idea from by Linda Gutierrez.  She had a couple of sweet cards made with the washi tape.

In my stamp camp we also made an assortment of Chip Clips made from clothes pins and a cute little container filled with candy with the washi tape.  I used the Gingham Garden designer paper for these projects.  They were a lot of fun to make!

 I watched a video that a demonstrator from Stampin Up had made with these projects.  They were designed by Diane Dimich.

I am definitely going to make more projects with washi tape!  Try it, it's so easy!  What have you made with it?
