Hello, friends! My friend Jolane is such an enabler. She posts these awesome and fun videos from the parking lot of Michaels and her latest one was about washi tape being on sale. She had me at unicorns so naturally, I went on the hunt.

I ended up finding the Unicorns as well as Mermaids!!

Here's a few cards I created with them.

I layered different patterns of the washi tape on the card base and coordinated some fun stamps. I layered them on the washi tape using my favorite 3D foam squares from Therm-O-Web.ther

These were easy and quick to create.

I think I am officially obsessed with washi tape now.

Thanks for stopping by!

More new products from Anna Griffin

Hello friends! I'm back with even more projects with Anna's new products featured on HSN Thursday. Today's cards are featuring Anna's new Lace Washi Tape and the Inspiring Impressions Embossing folders. I really enjoyed creating with these products. First let's have a look at the Lace Washi Tapes.

I used the tapes to make several frames for this card. You just need a craft knife to do this technique and some foam tape to create the layers.

 The tapes were easy to apply to cardstock. A light color like ivory works best to show off the detail of the tapes.

 I made this one look like wallpaper by cutting strips of cardstock and using strips of the tape in between.

For this card I applied the strips of Washi tape and then fussy cut around them to create the scallops and adhered them to the card base with foam tape.

 For this card I adhered the tapes to cardstock and then cut them into flags to create my banner.

Now for a look at the new Inspiring Impressions Embossing folders... LOVE!!!

I used a folder and a strip for this card and sanded the Perfect Palate cardstock pieces to reveal the white core. I also added mini pearls to the center of the design.

 For this card I used a Spellbinder die and embossed it and then layered the same die but larger with the Perfect Palette cardstock.

 Yes purple is my favorite color and paired with this green, it came out nice with the layers. Don't be afraid to sand your cardstock.

I used some ink to bring out the texture of the final two cards. I find that tone on tone colors work best. I also like the look of chalk inks too.

Aren't these folders are beautiful? And that's only a few of the styles!

25 Days of Holiday Cards Day 4

Hello friends. Thanks for joining me for Day 4 of my...

Today's card is a really clean and simple creation with some Washi tape and a fun Hero Arts image.

Christmas Greetings

Supplies: Recollections printed cardstock; Hero Arts Winking Reindeer stamp: Recollections bling: Quickie glue pen: Martha Stewart iridescent glitter. Tool: corner rounder. Finished size 4 x 5 1/2

For this card I used some pre-printed cardstock and then stamped my images in white cardstock. I rounded the bottom corners and applied the Washi tape. Then I traced the antlers in Quickie Glue Pen (my personal favorite of all glue pens) and sprinkled glitter. Next I added a small bow and the bling.

I love the way this card turned out and it's a great design for multiples too!

I'll see you tomorrow with another card!

Thanks for stopping by!

Product Scoop: Washi Sheets

I love designing for We R Memory Keepers. Not only do I get to create with the most awesome products ever but they ask me to do fun assignments like their Product Scoops. A couple of  months ago I was asked to create a layout using our new Washi Tape Sheets and the beautiful Antique Chic collection. 

I wanted to show how easy the sheets were to use on layouts and create your own embellishments with.  Here's a layout I created using the black, yellow and grey Washi sheets.

Teddy

by: Shemaine Smith

I used a 3 x 11 3/4 strip of the Washi sheet as a border to build off of. Then it was easy to use the photo frame die from Papertrey Ink for framing these sweet photos taken of my daughter and her beloved "teddy". I used Therm-O-Web 3D foam squares to pop one of them off my page.

The Washi sheets are easy to cut in your paper trimmer.

They are also easy to apply over patterned cardstock and cut with dies like this one from Papertrey Ink.

  

It was so easy to create these butterfly embellishments from the Washi sheet and paper. To finish it off, added one of the fabric buttons from the Antique chic collection.

I really like the We R Memory Keepers Washi sheets. The possibilities really are endless as to what you can create.
