Washi Stripes

Posted on February 24, 2015February 24, 2015 by Josee

Hello!

Welcome back! Before I show you today's card, I wanted to share some FANTASTIC news with you!!

Stampin' Up has announced that FOUR NEW PRODUCTS will be available as FREEBIES for SALE-A-BRATION starting March 1st!! WOO HOO! I will show you those products in full here on the blog on Friday 🙂 but if you would like a sneak peek, check out my Facebook page this week as I will be sharing some sneak peeks there! wink

Today I've got a simple card to share with you using washi tape! As I mentioned here last week, this was the card I started to make, that completely morphed into last week's card! This card also ended up in a bit of a different direction then planned, but that's what getting creative is all about!! 

stampingjo washi card; Stacked with Love Washi tape, Stampin' Up,  Painted Petals stamp set, Best Day Ever stamp set, chalkboard paper

I used the Stacked With Love Washi Tape and a strip of the Calypso Coral washi sheet from the Birthday Bash Designer Washi Sheets as a background on the Whisper White layer- also adding some texture with the Perfect Polka Dots Textured Embossing Folder . I actually did not run the embossing folder through the Big Shot- since it would not have fit properly through the rollers with the angle I wanted to emboss at- and I only wanted to emboss the corners- I just pressed on the folder with my hands. It did not leave as deep an impression as the Big Shot would, but it gave me the texture I needed. 

Then I stamped the Painted Petals- stamping off to lighten them a bit- and Best Day Ever sentiment with Whisper White ink on the Blackboard Paper cut with the Deco Labels Framelits die, then adhered that to the doily and added a little flower embellishment both from the Artisan Embellishment Kit.  I really liked how this washi card turned out. 

Before you head off today, don't forget to check out the Weekly Deals that start today!!

 

Thanks for stopping by! Come back tomorrow for a card showcasing From the Herd!
