What's up with Washi Tape

                                What's up with Washi Tape?

Washi Tape. Its all over Pinterest and taking over our favorite craft isles. If your like me I couldn't pass up the adorable prints. So I took some home with me and did my research ;) Just a little background info Washi is a style of Japanese paper tape. The manufacturing has spread throughout the world! Washi tape is reusable, biodegradable, and tree free (usually made of rice paper) In a few short minutes I came up with 4 cards and all together it took me under 10 minutes! Take a look at my results 

 I used a Border stamp for the top and bottom of the card and added my Washi Tape and gems to the middle

The focus of this card is the shine street lamp stamp and i added 3 strips of tape to the right for embellishment

Its a little hard to see from the lighting but the stamp in the middle is the Eiffel tower with a chevron background. This time I added the tape haphazardly. I love how it turned out!

I found this cute bike stamp at the bottom of my craft bin and thought it looked adorable with the matching tape

Washi Tape....You can tear it, cut it, stick it,reposition it,and write on it... The possibilities are endless!!!! I am now a Washiholic :) So the next time your in Michael's and the cutest printed tape is calling your name and telling you to take it home, It might be worth it!

All That Glitters: Card Using Digital Stamps

Hello!

We had such fun doing our 10 Items or Less segment last month that we decided to do a new one! This month we'll be focusing all of our creative powers on shinny glittery things! We hope you enjoy the new things we come up with!

Are you ready for summer?  I'm not.  But I know many kids who are super excited to be out of School for the year.  With that in mind, I decided to get a goodie bag for a few of my "pre-teen" friends to wish them a Happy Summer.  So of course I have to start with a Card. 

This card is using a Digital Stamp from Sushi Dolls. This one is called "Bookworm." How appropriate I use her on the card today. I wanted to try making a 5"x5" scenery card. Not familiar with Digital Stamps? We will have a post really son explaining what they are. So here is the card that I came up with. Oh, and don't forget to watch the Card Tutorial Here. 

Let me know what you think:

This card will be going to a girl named Ta'Jah!

Isn't she a cute image? In fact, did you know that the Three Chicks started our love for one another with our love of books?! Yep, and we still love to read! Thank you all for taking time out to check out our Blog and hope you all have a wonderful day!
