Happy Washi Tape Birthday

Hello! Today at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration we are featuring projects made with washi tape. I had to sign up to join this post because my washi has been neglected lately, though it seems to be reproducing!

I'm focusing on making lots of birthday cards currently so I can be prepared for the #imbringingbirthdaysback movement. If you haven't heard about it, several Stampin' Up! demonstrators are participating and gathering birthdays and address so we can get back to mailing cards to people. That was honestly why I loved my birthday so much when I was little. I ran to the mailbox (which was at least an 1/8" of a mile from our house) everyday for a week leading up to my birthday just to see if there were cards in there! I also did it for my parents' birthdays, though having to wait for them to open their cards, wasn't as much fun!

Back to the card! It features the Cherry On Top washi. I used the dot pattern to create a background. By itself it looked like a science experiment or one of those vision tests that you look for the number in all the colored dots. The banner below the greeting was made by using two strips of the green washi on a 1" piece of whisper white card stock. Then I used the Banner punch on the ends.

If you would like to be added to my birthday list, use the contact form to email me your birthday (month and day only) and your address. Also, check out the other washi projects at SSINK!

Product Focus: Washi Tape

Stampin' Up! has so many great collections of washi tape in this catalog.

Washi tape is so easy to use and is fairly forgiving if you need to reposition. Some retired washi tape is even holding my list of design team projects on the wall above my stamp table.

I really feel like all of the current collections can be mixed and matched for even more creative fun. However, today I decided to use three out of the Cherry On Top collection.

I covered a 3-3/4" x 5" piece of Whisper White with my washi tape. I really wanted the washi to be the focus of my card, so I chose to use Whisper White for the rest of the card. I used the largest tag framelit to cut my top layer before adhering it with Stampin' Dimensionals. Then I used the Expressions Natural Elements for the first time. I attached it with a little Tombow Liquid Glue.
For those that feel they are stamping challenged, here is the card for you. No stamping!
