Hello there, today I have a tag and card to share with you using washi tape. I don't know about you but I often buy washi tape but never use it. I thought it would be fun to use the washi tape as background on the tag and then when you add the tag to a card, it becomes it's own focal point which I thought was really cool!

I took the Altenew Spring Roses Die Set and cut one of the flowers three times from white cardstock. Two of them were cut with Altenew Double-Sided Adhesive on the back. I stacked them up one on top of another with the non-adhesive one at the bottom. This is because the leaves are going to overhang the tag and I didn't want adhesive there. It was adhered to the tag with small dabs of glue.
I took the sentiment from the Altenew Flower Vine Stamp Set and stamped it on to black cardstock with Altenew Embossing Ink. I applied Altenew Pure White Crisp Embossing Powder and heat set. It was cut in to a strip and added to the tag with Altenew Instant Dimension Foam Tape. To finish off, I added twine through the top of the tag and Iridescent Jewels around the flower.
As part of my series with Altenew called Terrific Tags with Michelle, I am sharing how you can add tags on to cards. For the card, I took a panel of white cardstock and die cut it using the Altenew Dotted Swirls Debossing Cover Plate. This panel was adhered to an A2 white card base with tape runner. I then cut it down so that it was 4" wide and added the tag on top with tape runner.
I wanted to have the card slightly narrower so that the leaf on the tag could overhand the card base slightly but that the card could still fit inside a standard sized envelope.

That's such a brilliant idea - although my children use up my Washi Tape on the back of envelopes, but this is a great idea for me to reclaim it! xx
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I could love these more! Fantastic video and great idea to use those thin washi strips. The colours are gorgeous, the floral die cut is stunning and I love the detailed cover plate too. Beautiful projects - if you are ever looking for someone to send them to, you know where to find me! haha! xx
