Washi tape and Santa

The lovely Jingle Belles are challenging us to use washi tape this fortnight. Lucky for me, I managed to dig up the few washi tapes I own from my stash and got crafty this weekend.


I decided to combine the washi tape challenge with the Santa challenge over at Merry Monday. After adhering the strips of washi tape (the red ones are Marianne Design; no idea about the other two) to my cardstock (Neenah Solar white), I die cut a panel using the Stitched rectangle dies by Simon Says Stamp, and then stamped the small Santa image from the Happy Christmas set by Winnie & Walter in black ink (Archival Jet Black by Ranger) onto a scrap of Core'dinations cardstock. The sentiment (from a new to me stamp set by CAS-ual Fridays called Snowflake Greetings) was stamped in black onto a strip of vellum and then heat embossed in clear (HA) and adhered to a slightly smaller strip of white cardstock. I used foam tape (3M) to pop up the panel on my card.

Challenges:
Jingle Belles - Washi tape
Merry Monday - 167 Santa
Craft Your Passion - 249 Always anything goes
CHNC Extra - Alwasy anything Christmas goes
CCC - 12 Anything goes
SSS Work it Wednesday - Sth. new (Stitched rectangle dies, new stamps)

  9. Fabulous use of WASHI tape!!!! - No Valentine's Day in Greece? I had no idea. I am originally from Germany, its not as big there as it is in the US (its largely ignored there...), but they have it. Perhaps you should send me your address and I'll send you one next year :)

  12. This is really fun!! The patterns and colors of your tape really work well together. This would also be a good way to use up some thin paper scraps. Thanks for playing with CHNCC2.
