OK, hands up – who here is a washi tape hoarder?! I have been known to buy a few rolls and stash them away all pretty in a draw ;) However, when I got some new rolls of washi tape from Wendy Vecchi for Ranger the other day I challenged myself to use a little of them before my hoarding tendencies could kick in!

WASHI TAPE CARDS

I have two simple cards to share today using washi tape as the main focus. Both cards utilise applying strips of washi tape to a piece of card and then cutting the panel up to create interest.

This first card uses the Wendy Vecchi Make Art Washi Tape 1 pack – a delicious mix of mustard yellow, emerald green and bright blue with neutrals to offset them.

The tapes looked so gorgeous in their pack that I lined them up in the same order and added the strips to a piece of Ivory card. I then cut three narrow strips and rounded the corner of two of the ends.

I ran the Triangles Element die from Simon Says Stamp through my die cutting machine with the embossing mat and a piece of Ivory card. I love how this subtle pattern adds something to the card without distracting from the focal point. I splattered the panel with Iridescent Gold watercolour for more interest.

I arranged the three strips over the embossed design and kept them in place with foam adhesive. For the sentiment, I rubbed Wendy Vecchi Sky Blue ink over a piece of card and then when dry stamped a sentiment from the Tiny Words Faith set from Simon Says Stamp in clear embossing ink and white heat embossed. I added the sentiment over the washi strips with more foam tape and then added the panel to a Fog card base before accenting with enamel dots.

I really enjoyed making my first simple washi tape card, and so I made a second using a similar design.

This time I used the Wendy Vecchi Make Art Washi Tape 2 pack – a rich, warm pack of yellows, oranges and reds.

Again, I used the arrangement within the pack to determine the order of the strips on the piece of Ivory card I applied them to. Then when I’d covered the piece of card, I die cut as many circles from it as I could using the Nested Circles dies from Simon Says Stamp.

I embossed a trio of the circle dies into a panel of Ivory card and again splattered with gold paint before arranging the washi tape circles over the top using foam tape to secure.

For the sentiment, I again used the Tiny Words Faith set, and white heat embossed a greeting over a piece of card that I’d rubbed Wendy Vecchi Peat Moss ink. I added the sentiment with foam tape and then added the panel to a Fog card base before accenting with enamel dots and gems.

I really enjoyed challenging myself to use my washi tape rather than hoarding it, and now the world is my oyster, and I’m going to washi all the things!
