Happy Hello Wreath

Hi EO fans! Everyone loves a wreath and they are so great on cards no matter how they are made. Today I have a wreath made of dove tailed washi tapes hung on some pink and white baker's twine. 

I made this by cutting washi strips from four rolls of tape. Each strip started approximately 1 1/2" long and I cut three strips of each pattern. Then I cut a length of twine and folded each washi tape over the twine so that they became flags with a flat bottom. Once placed on the twine, I used my scissor to cut them approximately the same length with a straight bottom. Then I trimmed each end into a dovetail. I formed the flags into a circle on a 5 1/2" card base. I glued each flag in place with a dot of glue. I made a twine bow with four loops and glued it to hide where the twine ends came together at the top. To decorate my wreath, I used Snowflake Bling in green and red and used Pearl Bling in the corners of the card and one large one on top of the bow. The final step was to cut the Hello word from a die in gold foil and yellow cardstock. I shifted the two words slightly with the yellow on the back and glued them together. Then I glued the finished word across the wreath.

Floral Note Cards From Washi Tape

Hello Eyelet Outlet Fans! Today I have a simple project anyone can make. We've gotten a lot of new washi tape styles in recently and you can see them by going to Eyelet Outlet and clicking on the Washi Tape - Decorative Tape. The newest tapes will always be shown at the top.

This set of mini note or gift cards is a fnished size of 3 1/2" square. The beautiful floral prints are from a new washi tape in the store called Flower Washi Tape - Wide. And boy is it a wide! It's 2 1/8" wide in fact.

To make these, I secured the Washi Tape with the six designs on white card stock and then die cut them out. Then I made three more graduated mats to create the card fronts. I placed a Butterfly Brad on each of them. Finally I used strips of our Pink and Clear Jewel Bling Strips to trim the edges of the cards.

Thanks for stoping by today. Do check out the newest Washi and have a great Sunday!

Quick Cards Using Washi Tape

Looking for a quick and simple card design? I've got one here for you today that lets Washi Tape do all the hard work. Don't have Washi Tape or want a new design or two? We have hundreds of designs to choose from at our STORE. You're sure to find designs that you'd love to own.

I made four cards with the same design but with four different Washi Tape designs. From left to right, I used:
Bee Washi Tape and a Blue Glitter Enamel Dot
Copper Sparkle Foil Tape and a White Glitter Enamel Dot
Book Washi Tape and a Red Glitter Enamel Dot and
Map Washi Tape and a Blue Enamel Dot.

This is a great way to personalize a card for the recipient's hobbies or interests. It can instantly make a card feminine, masculine, whimsical, serious, juvenile or adult. Best of all, it's a quick but great card you can make when time is tight.

Here's a close-up of the bee card.

Let's take a peak inside the map card to show how I put another piece of white card stock inside with a strip of matching Washi Tape at the bottom. I sometimes also put a brad in the inside to accent the Washi Tape like here where I used the Anchor Brad in antique bronze. There are two other finished in this charming pack including shiny silver and pewter.

I like using Washi Tape on envelopes because it ties the whole look together and makes a great presentation when it's delivered to the recipient. I put it on the closer flap of each envelope and turn the excess Washi Tape to the back of it.
