Have you seen the new Witches’ Brew Washi Tape in the Stampin’ Up! Holiday catalog? It’s a fun collection. This is another quick and easy Washi tape note card –
For this one the Washi Tape is overlapped on the note card and then I stamped directly on the tape with Black StazOn ink – the little “happy halloween” from Teeny Tiny Wishes. I also stamped in once above the tape too.
I added a tiny Pumpkin Pie button tied with some Linen Thread.
To seal the envelope I think the skull Washi Tape would be really fun to use. Really a very quick an easy card. That makes project #7 from my Washi Tape class – and yes there are still more to come!

I’m extending the registration deadline for the retreat until after the holiday weekend – Registrations due August 31st September 3rd for the September 27th – 29th – Stamp, Scrap & Create Retreat
Aug 29, 2013 | Cards, Washi Tape |
I love this cute note card – I found the idea on Pinterest from a demonstrator in Germany. I changed it slightly by making a note card and eliminating some of the layers that she used on her full card. This is my version.
The Gingham Garden Washi tape is layered in the background on the card – the pieces are overlapped with each other. Here is how you make the cute little heart accent piece –
- first punch a small heart in Crumb Cake card stock
- now line the Artisan Label punch up so the spot where you punched out the heart is in the center.
- punch another Artisan Label from Melon Mambo card stock
- Layer them with little bits of Stampin’ Dimensional in between
- cut a piece of Linen Thread and just loop it around using some Snail Adhesive to attach to the back of the Artisan Punched piece
- attach the label with Stampin’ Dimensional to the front of the card
- finish by adding a tiny pearl and rhinestone to the label
Let’s see that makes project #6 I think. And I’m still not done – so be sure to come back for more Washi Tape ideas from my class.

Aug 28, 2013 | Washi Tape |
One of the best things about Stampin’ Up! products is the color coordination! And this card shows how well the Washi Tape and card stock colors coordinate to make a cute and simple card.
I used the Daffodil Delight Gingham Washi Tape from the Gingham Garden collection – with a Daffodil Delight punched heart.
The Pumpkin Pie Chevron Washi Tape from the Witches Brew collection – with a Pumpkin Pie punched heart.
And the Basic Gray stripe Washi Tape from the Epic Day This & That collection – with a Basic Gray punched heart.
Project #5 from my Washi Tape class. This is really a quick card using the Notecards & envelopes – nothing to cut or measure and you can punch the hearts from scraps. The Washi Tape tears easily giving you the rough edges. The hardest part is tying the ribbon in a knot and stamping words straight! And a quick tip – if you do it like I did and mess up the words – stamp them again on a scrap of Whisper White card stock – trim it out – and glue it on top of the messed up words. Yep I did that.

Aug 26, 2013 | Cards, gift card, Washi Tape |
I have lot’s of Washi Tape ideas to share with you – it doesn’t take long to make some cute cards. Today’s project are these adorable Mini Note Cards – which happen to be the perfect size for a gift card.
This first one uses the Gingham Garden and Season of Style Designer Washi Tape. Each pack comes with three different designs.
This one uses the Epic Day This and That Designer Washi Tape. And this one is turns out to be the perfect match to a Home Depot gift card!
It’s a little hard to tell just how big these are by looking at the photos and you may wonder how they are made. It’s really super quick an easy – start with one of the 5″ x 3-1/2″ Note cards and the matching envelope. These come together ready to use in packs of 20 – page 162 in the Stampin’ Up! catalog.
Cut the note card in half and the envelope in half! This gives you mini notecards and envelopes. To seal the side of the envelope use a piece of Washi tape!
That makes cards 1 & 2 from the Wild about Washi class I had earlier this month. This idea came from Stampin’ Up! – just a cute idea.
I’m trying to get out a reminder email for classes this week – having some technical issues this morning. Hopefully it will be resolved by the end of the day.

Aug 24, 2013 | Cards, In Colors, Washi Tape |
One of my favorite new stamp sets in the Stampin’ Up! catalog is the Tape It stamp set. It gives you the look of Washi Tape! And right now I’m really in love with Washi tape. I even had a class this month Wild about Washi and I had so much fun creating projects for the class I went a bit overboard. Everyone that attended go to make a bunch of cards/projects. I even had more ideas that didn’t get included in the class. I’ll be sharing the class projects this next week but today is one I made afterwards for one of my card clubs that met this week. It’s just hard to stop…
The colors for this card are Smoky Slate and Coastal Cabana (and Whisper White). I love these colors!
I wasn’t sure how much I would use the new Smoky Slate which is a light gray color but I am using it a lot.
Here is what I used on this card:
- Smoky Slate, Coastal Cabana (one of our new In-Colors), and Whisper White card stock
- Smoky Slate and Coastal Cabana ink
- Tape It stamp set – it’s so easy to just stamp these tape pieces in any combination
- Flower Shop stamp set and the Pansy Punch – love the coordination of these too
- Mini Silver brads
- A Dozen Thoughts stamp set – this is a great set – in case you missed it in the catalog it is in the kid/baby section – I find myself using this one all the time – my new go to greeting set
My BOGO sale is over – it was fun for me and fun for everyone that came and shopped and then got to shop for new products too!
