Washitape Wednesday

For those of you who missed it last week, you can find my Washitape Wednesday project (here). For those of you who haven't heard of Washitape Wednesday, you can click that link and read all about it!

This week's project was quick and simple. I used the same paper flower tutorial that I posted earlier, which you can find (here).

To make these paper flowers, I put washitape on a scrap of white paper and then punched out four scalloped circles. Here's the tape I used and the finished flower.

There you have it! A quick and easy way to make custom flowers using your washitape! If you'd like a more detailed tutorial, please ask, and I'll edit this to include step by step photos, but you can use the tutorial from last weeks Washitape Wednesday for adhering your tape to a piece of paper!

Thanks for stopping by! I'd love to see your washitape projects, and if you have a blog, be sure to share them over at Crafting a Fairytale!

Happy Washitape Wednesday everyone!

Yellow & Grey Thank You

After sitting in my craft room for a couple of hours trying to figure out what I was going to make, then finally deciding that I would simply do a card while I tried to figure out a way to organize the blog and what I would post every day.

At first, I assumed it would be a birthday card, but because I've made so many of those recently, I decided upon making it a thank you card. The great thing about my cards is that until I put a sentiment on it, most of them could be anything they wanted.

I decided that I wanted it to be bright and fun and I found this card on Pinterest that used polka dots on the top and stripes on the bottom, then had a series of flowers across the middle. I made my version of that here. I decided that instead of using a bunch of flowers, I would use one paper flower made using white cardstock and washitape in colours to match the card. The grey border between the two was made with grey washitape on a strip of white paper. And the thank you for your thoughtfulness sentiment has the left and right edge inked with yellow ink to match the stripes it sits on. 

Have a wonderful weekend. See you all on Monday!
