As soon as I saw this cute challenge on Simon Says Stamp’s challenge blog I knew I have to participate.
It’s the perfect challenge to test out all the washi tapes from different brands I’ve been amassing.
Hello washi tape!
Here are my cards –
On this card I wrapped an entire mat (which measures 4″ by 5¼”) with strips of washi tape. Then I adhered it to the center of the card fron with foam dots – a ton of them, to prevent it from sinking down. I then aligned my Stepping Stones stamps on my new Fiskars Compact Stamp Press (check out the link below for a good price on Amazon…) and when I needed more than 1 letter, I just used the outlined version… I also stamped one ‘A’ on the flip-side and then stamped the outlined version with Versamark ink and white embossed it on top. I love the quirky look. Great for a masculine birthday card.
This time I used the exact same technique, only instead of wrapping a mat, I wrapped three stamped speech bubbles cut-outs from the ‘Hey Y’All’ stamp set. After wrapping it with washi tapes I re-stamped the images with Stazon Jet Black ink and went over it with a permanent marker to make the outline look neater. I also stamped the sentiment and the cute restroom images (how would you call them!?) from that stamp set – again with Stazon and a touch of a permanent marker. To complete the card I added a few washi tape banners on the top left side and outlined everything with the same permanent marker.
So,… what do you think?

How awesome that you’re actually using your supplies to create something to brighten someone’s day. I loved my card, it is gorgeous and it’s sitting on my craft desk smiling at me right now!
I’m so glad you like it! For your card I used fabric ribbons and adhered them with double sided tape, that I lined the mat with.
FUN cards! I love your use of the washi tape! Thanks for joining us for the Simon Says Stamp Challenge!
Your cards are really cool! Love the slant stripes with a bold sentiment over them!
