Simple Cards Using Washi Tape

Many of you have heard of washi tape and have even crafted with it. Last summer I found a beautifully decorated jar with washi tape on Pinterest. I had to try it, but I could not find washi in any of the craft stores.
I'm excited to say that Stampin' Up! has finally come out with their own washi tape. You get 3 rolls of different designs for less than $5. Imagine the possibilities! :)

Washi tape is like masking tape that comes in many colors and designs. As you can see, it makes a plain piece of paper look great. You can also use it to decorate frames, glass and many other things.

I used two pieces of washi tape and a Happy Birthday stamp for this simple, quick card.

On this card I used floral designed washi tape. I laid the tape down on white card stock and then punched the "hats" out and backed them with colored card stock.

 

 

I can't wait to find other uses for my new washi tape!
