$10 gift certificate 


$15 gift certificate 


Here is my project:
 

 
I love washi tape and have lots of it but haven't used it.  I found a similar card on the ScrapbookSteals.com blog and thought it was the perfect way to use all the tape that I've been collecting.
 
I love the way it turned out!
 
I just cut strips of washi tape and stuck them diagonally across a piece of white card stock until I had it covered.  I used a craft knife and ruler to clean up all the edges.  Then I added a black mat behind it before adhering it to the card front.  I also added a sentiment using the Jaded Blossom "Candy Charms and Banners" die, and stamp from the "Sweet Birthday Wishes" set.  I also added a black mat behind the banner.
 
 
I hope you're finding lots of inspiration to use up the forgotten treasures in your craft space.

Thank you for stopping by!

    LOVE what you made with the Washi tape! I have some, but I do not know what to do with it. Now, I am going to try making a beautiful card like yours. I love how you mounted it on black. And, I love the stitching you did. Thank you for inspiring me to get out and use my Washi tape! This was perfect!

    Thank you,

    I LOVE this card, I have so much other stuff I purposely haven't bought any washi tape but I just might have to steal this idea to do with all the patterned paper I have laying around.
