Stampin’ Up! Washi Tape Cards

A crafting table displays floral washi tapes, ink pads, tools, card stock, and finished handmade greeting cards decorated with colorful flower designs. Text reads “Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape cards.” A penguin-shaped tape dispenser sits on the right. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

I had 3+ rolls of Extraordinary Flora washi tape in my stash.. and since I’d already made cards with die cut pieces of the washi tape, I decided to try it out as a “card front”.

My first thought was just put the Extraordinary Flora washi tape right onto the cardstock and add it to the card base.. but after I made these, I thought.. hmm.. what about EMBOSSING the washi tape panel… see below for my experiments with 3 different embossing folders.

Below: no embossing

Four handmade thank you cards are displayed. Each card features a white background with colorful, hand-stamped floral designs along the left side and a “Special Thanks” message on a white tag in the lower center-right. Each card has a different colored border. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Below: Washi Tape with Eyelet Embossing folder

Two handmade floral cards with “SO VERY happy FOR YOU” on oval doilies. Both feature embossed washi tape backgrounds. Above, bold text reads “EMBOSSED WASHI TAPE!” An “Eyelet 3D” embossing folder is shown on the right. “Patty Bennett” watermark is at the bottom. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

I added the Washi Tape to a 3-1/4″ wide strip of Basic White cardstock, then tried embossing that panel. I loved the results!

After I tried out the Eyelet embossing folder, I thought that the Scalloped Wishes bundle would be a beautiful accent for the greeting. Didn’t they turn out so pretty!?

Two handmade floral greeting cards are displayed with their crafting supplies: stamp sets, metal die cuts, and packaging labeled "Scalloped Wishes." The cards feature scalloped oval frames, colorful flowers, and a sentiment reading "SO VERY HAPPY FOR YOU. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Did you see the Smiley Faces last week?

I loved using the little circles that I die cut from the camera lens to use as cute smiley faces!!

I know I could have drawn 2 dots for eyeballs, but I grabbed the face stamps from the Bee My Valentine stamp set to stamp the eyes.

Adding the faces to the cute scallops from the new Scalloped Blooms die set was perfect for smiley flowers!

Watercoloring options

The card above was done by stamping the Simply Beautiful floral image onto watercolor paper with the new Stampin’ Up! Basic Black Hybrid ink pad, and coloring it with a paintbrush and ink from my Stampin’ Up! ink refills. The card below was created by die cutting the floral images from watercolor paper that was colored with a wash of colors from my left over reinkers… watch the video to see this easy and fun tip that anyone can do!

UH Oh…

So.. literally as I was creating the graphics and editing the photos of these projects, the English version of the Simply Beautiful stamp set ran out of stock.. so.. here’s what I’m hoping:

  • Either.. you already own it
  • or you will try this with another floral set
  • or… you CAN always buy the French version of Simply Beautiful if you just really want the floral image and don’t need the words.

So, forgive me friends.. it was on clearance and poof, it just vanished as I was putting all the finishing touches on this presentation.

Two watercolor paintings—one of red flowers, one of green leaves—sit on a grid mat. Nearby are mugs with brown and green liquid, paintbrushes, watercolor ink bottles, and splatters of paint. Find Watercoloring tips at “PattyStamps.com,” watermarked on the mat. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

One of the keys to my success with this method of watercoloring is using the Stampin’ Up! Glass Mat.
