Washi Wednesday #1

Happy Wednesday!


I have had a lot of people asking me "how do I use Washi tape?", so over the next few weeks I will do some Washi Wednesday blog posts to give you some ideas to get you started.

Now I must admit I rarely think of using washi. With so many fun products to choose from, it doesn't surprise me that something is forgotten. Washi is a low tack tape and it is so easy to use. It is a quick and simple way to add that little something to any project or home décor.

Today I am going to use Moroccan Designer Washi Tape.

I have decided for the first project in my series on using washi tape I would make a card. I chose to use the washi as a way to decorate one of the elements.


Firstly I started by putting some washi on some whisper white cardstock.





Then I cut out my image. In this case it was the wreath from the Wonderful Wreath Framelits.






I then used this element on my card by popping it, using dimensionals and adding a sentiment.






Nice, quick and simple.





I love the way this card turned out. It was so quick and easy to put together. You can use the same simple technique and cut out whatever shape that suits your needs. Always remember that framelits are just shapes. This set was designed to be used for Christmas, but there is nothing to say that you can't find other uses for them, like I have here. In a very similar way, the stamp set I choose to use is aimed for "birthdays" but I have used it to make a card that can be used to celebrate any occasion.

Thank you for stopping by. Looking forward to next Wednesday to see what other uses we can find for our Washi.
