Thinking Of You

Talk about a fun card to create this week's creation for Eyelet Outlet is an adorable 4x4 specialty fold card made from using mostly different types and styles of washi tape.

The front of the card has four different types of washi tape as the base which include the Script Flower Washi Tape, the Bee Washi Tape, the Red Foil Washi Tape and the Flower Washi Tape where I hand-cut the roses and placed them on for movement. The focal point of the front of the card is made by using the Script Flower Washi Tape washy tape and one of the little girls from the Girl Washi Tape cut out and highlighted with the red border. A sweet sentiment was added along with several Jewel Strips - Black and 12mm Bling Jewels in Black on the front.

When you open the card, you get a flash of sparkle from the Red Swirl Bling
and the three Jewel Strips - Black that are sitting on top of the Floral Washi Tape
 pocket.

Sitting inside that pocket, is the cutest little card made from Script Flower Washi Tape  as the base and a hand cut red rose from the Flower Washi Tape as the focal point. I tied a black and white ribbon on the side and bejeweled this piece with several Jewel Strips - Black.

As you can see, many of the colors on this card were made strictly by using washi tape, so it does not matter what colors, types, or styles of card stock you have on hand, if you have a selection of washi tape from Eyelet Outlet, you are able to create a beautiful and unique greeting card at any moment.

Winter Besties!

 Aren't these sweet little winter clad gals adorable? I think so! And, they are beating the winter blues with coffee and friendship!

I started my card by creating a cloudy, wintery background with distress inks. I then added a strip of sparkling white glitter washi for snow. I fussy cut my sweet winter girls and placed them on the right side. Next, I stamped my greeting directly on the frames washi and added to my layout! What's a fun gathering of friends without coffee or bubble tea? So, I added the coffee cup brads and layered on bubble tea washi lined cardstock! I hope you enjoy!

Junk Journal Junkie

Have you ever heard of a Junk Journal?

 No, it is not a journal where you list all your junk. A junk journal is a handmade notebook/journal where you take leftover paper, magazine clippings, embellishments, miscellaneous kinds of washi tape…pretty much anything you have around your house, and you layer them all together on a single page in your journal.  Junk journals are the best because there doesn’t need to be a theme and there is no right or wrong way to do it.

Did you know that Eyelet Outlet has a wonderful selection of washi tape you can use to create your junk journal?

On this page, I used seven…yes, seven, different types of washi tape to create this brightly colored page. I’m about to show you a whole other fun way to use washi tape so sit back and get ready to get your junk journaling on!

I started by tearing pieces of old cardstock to make the bottom layer. Then, I added about 8” of the wide Flower Washi Tape on the far-right side of the page running vertically. I loved the way those flowers looked so I ended up fussy cutting (cutting something intricate by hand) two more and placed them on the page as single flowers.

Large pink and red flowers are fussy cut from the Floral Washi Tape.

All eight of the 3-D butterflies are Butterfly Washi Tape that I fussy cut, as well and used a pop dot to add dimension.  I used the exact same technique for the brightly colored flowers by using the Flower Petal Washi Tape.

Placed randomly throughout the page, is the beautiful Red Flower Washi Tape as well as Silver Foil Washi Tape to add a bit of reflection.

You will see that I added many different words and phrases to the page but the words that take center stage are the Moon and Back Washi Tape running vertically on the right side.

The two beautiful girls that are decked out in their winter wear are from the Winter Girl Washi Tape. Each girl was fussy cut, and a pop dot was added to give the girl in the pink extra dimension.

To finish this page off, I added a few different sized black Pearl Bling to keep your eyes moving.

If you have never tried to create a junk journal page like this, I highly suggest it.  You can just lose yourself in your creation and before you know it, you have just created something amazing.
