Sweet Magic With Washi Tape
Today’s project was such a joy to make—a playful, color‑soaked fractured‑style card built almost entirely from washi tape. There’s something wonderfully satisfying about turning simple strips of tape into a full card front, and this design really leans into that idea.
I began by covering a white cardstock rectangle with Macaron Washi Tape, letting the soft pattern create a sweet, dessert‑inspired backdrop. Once the panel was fully wrapped, I cut a 1 ¾‑inch square of white cardstock and adhered it at an angle so it formed a diamond shape. That little tilt adds so much movement to the layout, and it sets the stage for the next detail: framing the diamond with Skinny Green Dot washi tape. I placed each strip so it extended past the edges at first, then trimmed everything flush for a crisp, clean finish.
To build contrast, I created a second panel from green cardstock—just slightly larger than the macaron layer—and added two rows of the same skinny washi tape along each edge. It ties the whole card together. After mounting the macaron panel on top, I attached the entire piece to a pink A2 card base, which brings out the sweetness of the colors even more.
The focal point is a stamped pink macaron that I colored, trimmed, and popped up on the diamond with foam tape. It adds dimension and charm right where the eye naturally lands. Beneath it, I placed the stamped sentiment, keeping it simple so the textures and layers could shine.
For the finishing touches, I added Pink Glitter Enamel Dots and Green Pearl Bling. They echo the colors already in the card and add just the right amount of sparkle and polish.

Sweet & Sparkly: A Macaron-Inspired Thank You Card!
Who doesn't love a good macaron? Those delicate, colorful treats are a feast for the eyes and the taste buds. Today, I've brought that same whimsical charm to my card making with a thank you that's as sweet as it is sparkly!
First, let's talk about the star of the show: EO's macaron washi tape border. A soft strip of pastel border , adorned with tiny, perfect macarons in all their glory sets a fun and charming tone, making this card feel like a little box of confectionery happiness. It pairs perfectly with the patterned paper used for the card front.
Next up, I've added a touch of warmth and sophistication with Coffee Brads. These aren't just any brads; they evoke cozy coffee shop vibes, perfectly complementing the sweet treats. They add the perfect focal point to the design.
And because every good card needs a little sparkle, I've incorporated glitter enamels in pink, gold, and blue. These little dots of shimmer are like tiny jewels scattered across your card. The pink adds a playful pop, the gold brings a touch of elegance, and the blue offers a cool, calming contrast.
