Hi Stamping Friends,
I've got another quick & cute card design for you today! This time, it's a fun way to use those skinny washi tapes to create a cool background for any sentiment. Let's take a look!
Stylish Stripes Washi Tape Cards
Did you know that the wide textured stripes created with the Stylish Stripes Embossing Folder are the same size as the skinniest washi tapes? Both are 3/8" wide, which makes the Stylish Stripes the perfect foundation for diagonal washi tape backgrounds!
CASEd from Michelle Gleeson at Stampin' Mojo.
Background Basics—I started by embossing a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Whisper White card stock with the Stylish Stripes Texture Impressions Folder.
Washi Stripes—I gathered up some coordinating thin-width washi tape from the It's My Party Washi Tape and Botanical Gardens Washi Tape packs and applied them to the on the widest part of the stripes. The ends were wrapped around the back, and trimmed off where necessary. I adhered the background to a Mint Macaron card base.
Sweet Sentiment—I finished the card by stamping a greeting from the Suite Sayings stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black on Whisper White card stock. It's punched with the Decorative Label Punch, then popped up with Dimensionals and accented with a single Rhinestone Jewel. Fast & cool!
Two Cool—I changed my orientation to horizontal on this one and tried coordinating tapes from the It's My Party Washi Tape and Everyday Chic Washi Tape packs. The greeting is once again from Suite Sayings.

Angie, I took Michelles idea and created 3 different cards using the Stylish Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder # 132174. ONE with washi tape as she did , TWO my Many Marvelous Markers #131264 coloring the smaller stripes and THREE cutting stripes of DSP to put in the larger stripes instead of washi tape. Thank you for sharing her idea.
Now I can use all the washi tape I have stashed-bought it because I liked it but didn’t have a good idea for it-now I have done a dozen cards ! Thanks so much-my new “go-to” for a quick card.
