And now for my creations! 
I love using washi tape for quick and easy card making and also for adding to scrapbook layouts. Here are 3 cards that I made and the products I used.

For this first card, I used 2 widths of Narrow Rainbow Washi Tape and placed them on the diagonal across the card panel. I then embossed another A2 panel with Enchanting Vines 3D embossing folder. I cut it into 2 pieces and adhered each section using foam tape for added dimension. The sentiment is the mega hello die which was cut from black glitter cardstock.


This next card was created using Concrete Wall wash tape and the 1 inch gold washi tape for the right side of the card. I added a decorative edge using the creative scalloped edges die. For the focal flowers, I used the Floral Doodles die set, cut the bottom layer from white cardstock and the detailed layer from gold mirror cardstock, stacked them and arranged on the panel. 







Card 3 was created using 2 rows of Golden Stream washi tape along the bottom 3rd of the card panel. I then ink blended some light blue ink to form a backdrop for the flowers. I used Craft-a-Flower Rose and yellow gradient cardstock to die cut the flowers and the fancy hugs die was cut twice, once from white cardstock and the top layer from glossy black cardstock. 




Thank you for visiting my blog today. I hope you are inspired by my cards. Below is the list of blog hops and which you should visit next. 

See you next time! Happy Crafting xx
