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.

Up, Up and Away - In my Macaron Balloon

 Up Up and Away – In my Macaron Balloon

🎤 This adorable creation just makes me want to sing! 🎤

Have you ever needed the perfect cardstock for your project but couldn’t find what you wanted?

Well, that’s exactly what happened to me when I started to create this.  I knew I wanted the highlight to be pastel macarons, but didn’t have any cardstock that fit what I wanted. So, with the help of Eyelet Outlet, I created EXACTLY what I wanted using the Macaron washi tape.  The flexibility using this washi tape allowed me to accent the exact colors I wanted. It turned out beyond what I was hoping for!! 

After creating the perfect macaron “cardstock”, I was able to continue bringing my balloon to life. The Macaron Balloon is bejeweled with eight light green 4mm jewels around the top bunting, eight green 8mm cut jewels around the bunting in the middle, and 12 light green 4mm jewels around the basket.

And what’s a balloon ride without a sip or two of wine? If you look closely in the basket, you will see a bottle of white wine from the Mixed Wine Bottle Eyelets sitting on a cute, little table. Cheers!

You can let your imagination SOAR when you use washi tape to create patterned cardstock.  The SKY'S the limit!

Try it…you’ll thank me later.  😊

Have a wonderful week and always be STRATE UP CRAFTY!

Heat Embossed Washi Tape Panel - Sending Smiles!

Hi everyone! It's Janet here with a bright and colorful card. This one has a background of washi tape in many styles and colors. Check out the shopping list for your favorite patterns. I decided to heat emboss a white diamond pattern over the entire panel and to my delight, it worked very well. I will say the panel initially warped from the heat but I applied an adhesive sheet behind the panel and attached to another piece of cardstock. This controlled the warping perfectly. 

On top of this card, I added a fun die cut and strip sentiment. I couldn't help but add a unicorn and rainbow from the Unicorn & Rainbow Brads.


Thanks much for stopping by. Please stop by the store and check out the amazing inventory of washi tapes.

Happy Creating Everyone!

The Crown (Eyelet Outlet Edition)

I (Lauren) can never resist a funny meme, especially if it's one for which I have the perfect Eyelet Outlet Brads. In this case our fabulously fancy and righteously regal Crown and Tiara Brads.


There are actually four styles of Crown and Tiara Brads in each package: two versions of the golden coronet (with both blue and red details); and the pink tiara with both silver filigree and glittery sparkles. On my first card I used one of the golden/blue variety, and placed it on the head of my Riley and Friends stamp, "Midge with Coffee"... although in this case, I cut away the coffee mug (sorry, Midge!) so she'd look more regal. I used one of our fabulous new wide washi varieties, Apothocary Bottles Tape to make a background with a bit of a nostalgic vibe.


As is often the case when I've seen a meme online, I made a digital sentiment; or rather, two versions of the sentiment, because I wanted both horizontal and vertical format. I used a free chunky font called Vexler Slip for my first card and AR Bonnie for the slightly more streamlined version on my second card. They're both right-clickable here in the post, and will also be available on the Freebies Page later this week.



For my second card I wanted to use the pink and silver filigree Tiara Brads, so I made a slightly "lighter" looking sentiment and chose another new tape with nice bright colors, in this case the delicious Macaron Washi.


There are a bunch more fabulous new tapes, located at the very beginning of the Washi Tape section; and there are a few amazing new brad styles getting ready to debut soon, so check back often for all the updates! 

is always excited when the 
new Eyelet Outlet goodies arrive!
