What's Washi?

I'm trying to catch up on posting my stamp club projects.  Several people have asked me about Washi Tape - so I searched Pinterest for ideas of what to do with it!   These were the first cards we made at my May stamp classes - made using washi tape and the now retired 2014-2016 In Colors card stock from Stampin' Up!  These were really quick and easy cards to make for any occasion.  For other ideas using Washi tape, check out myWASHI TAPE PINTEREST BOARD.

The words were cut out from the Hello You Thinlits Dies.  I asked my club members to use the black piece of card stock that was left after cutting out the words - and use it to make a card.  I had two people take that challenge and their cards are below:

Linda's card

Kelly's Card

What's Washi?

Several of my customers asked me what to do with washi tape - so I went on a hunt (thanks, Pinterest) to see what I could find!  This was the first card that we made at May's classes..  We used the now retired In Colors and coordinating washi tape. Super simple and you can make a card for just about any occasion by using the Crazy About You stamp set  and Hello You Thinlits.  We also used washi tape to decorate the inside of each card. 

CONTACT ME if you would like information about my stamp classes.  My next classes will be June 24 -26.  I'd love to have you join us!

Big Day Stamp Club Cards

 Here are more cards that we made at last month's stamp club classes.  I CASED (Copy And Share Everything) this card from Pinterest.  There are several versions of this card floating around the internet.  I made a few changes to a card made by Helen Heil.  Below is another card I made - just changed the colors and turned the card horizontally.

 A few things to note:

The confetti was made using the Confetti Stars Border Punch.  I punched card stock scraps until I had as much as I wanted.

I adhered a piece of window sheet over the confetti.  You will want to make sure that the window sheet is adhered securely to the card front.  (Use liquid Tombow, Fast Fuse, or Sticky Strip.)

Washi tape was layered around the window sheet - half on the window sheet and half on the card front.  Rub the washi tape to make sure it stays down.  (You may even want to run a fine line of adhesive under the washi tape so it doesn't pull up.)

I used the Sale-a-Bration stamp set, Big Day, to make this card.  This is a set you can get for FREE, with a $50 order!  I stamped the "Celebrate your Big Day with Cake" once on a piece of Whisper White card stock (cut out using circle framelit) and one time on a scrap of coordinating card stock.  You only need the word "celebrate' on the colored scrap, and then it is cut out using Paper Snips.  Layer the colored card stock "celebrate" over the original stamped image using Stampin' Dimensionals.

The letters in Birthday and Cake were colored with Stampin' Write markers.

Then I just made a tag using the Happy Birthday stamped piece.

This was a fun card to make and a good way to use some of the washi tape I have been collecting!

Washi Tape

This was the "3D" item we made at my June stamp club meetings.  They are wooden clothes pins covered with Stampin' Up!'s new washi tape.  It is very similar to masking tape.  We just covered the clothes pins with the tape and trimmed off any excess.  Clip them to a piece of card stock, pop them into a cello bag, and finish it off with a topper made using the Top Note Die and Big Shot.  Another quick and simple project.  Makes a cute little gift.  The clips can be used to keep your snack bags closed, as a way to organize papers, or as a bookmark.  Add a magnet to the back and stick them to your fridge for holding notes and recipes.
