Three Washi Tape Card Ideas

October 19, 2017

Note: I’ve updated this post as of October 19th, 2017. I realized I still loved this technique but wanted to update it with some new cards and a tutorial video. New updates will appear in red. And some links may be affiliate links. Thanks & enjoy!

 

I’m still cranking out cards for Operation Write Home– and I was drawn to the lovely washi tapes that they sent me! (Please note: OWH is no longer sending out cards to the troops, but the website is still active as a resource for card designs & ideas.)

 

So I challenged myself to make three different styles of cards featuring Washi Tape!

I’ve made you a little video to get you going!

#1: Washi tape as a background.

Artemio washi tape and Stampin’up Dies & sticker embellishments.

Created 2012 with WRMK washi tape.

#2: Washi Tape in place of ribbons. For this card, I used washi tape streaming down from the top of the card, then stapled on a sentiment banner. However, you could use any edge and any shape of a sentiment box- so have fun with it! It’s also a fun way to use different colors and patterns of washi tape without worrying about what “matches.”

#3. Create a focal point with Washi Tape. I used three strips of washi tape vertically and two partial strips horizontally to lead the eye to the embellishment at the intersection. Since I just wrote a post about working in a series, here’s a sub-set I made with this design:

Here’s one more video to consider- making your own washi tape. You can create gorgeous washi tape with tissue paper or thin wrapping paper and a Xyron or double-sided adhesive sheets like Stick It. (You can learn more and see some great examples I made from the tissue paper I just bought at John Lewis!

So there you go! Dig out that washi tape and some blanks cards, and get crafting!

    I had been wondering exactly what washi tape was for and had guessed that maybe it was for something like this. Now I want some! You have completely sold me 🙂

    Washi Tapes are wonderful. I’m able to transform papers I thought I’d never be able to use, into beautiful cards. These are lovely.

    The cards are so beautiful and totally unique! Having a hard time choosing the best design as all of them look so amazing! Washi tape has so many patterns and colors plus it’s easy to use 🙂

    Now, I know what to do with all the washi tape I’ve been saving. I’ve picked some up from time to time but didn’t have any idea what to use it for! I like to be able to make my own, too. Just can’t always find what you want in color or design….kudos!
