Washi Post Cards

 

 Obviously my new word is "Washi." I just can't get over how beautiful and easy to use this tape is. Most of this tape is Happy Tape with a few pieces being sold by Close To My Heart. I just love the quality for the cost. I love to get a bargain. This blue post card is my favorite. I love the pinks and reds of Valentine's Day, but the blue just hits me as soothing and beautiful.

 

 These two are different styles using almost the same tapes.

 

 

 

 I usually enjoy browns A LOT - Ask anyone who has been to my house... But, I may have over done the browns on this post card. Next time I think I'll leave a bit of white at the top and bottom.

 

 So here are the 4 cards all together. I love the simplicity. Not to fussy but a lot of fun!

Simple Valentine's Day Gifts

 

This cute Valentine's day gift is called a sour cream cup. These are simple and inexpensive and can be filled with anything you chose. Not only are these great for a teacher's gift but for just about any holiday needing an inexpensive gift with a homemade touch!

This one with the Washi Tape is my personal favorite.

 

I made 5 different colors for the 5 ladies I work with at the preschool.

 These are 4-1/2 x 6 inches. I glued along the 4-1/2 side first and let dry well. It will be shaped like
a toilet paper tube.

 

Then I glued one of the 6" sides. Then I filled them - I pick Hershey's kisses to go inside.

Do not over fill as it makes it very hard to glue up the other end.

Glue last side going opposite of the first 6" side and decorate with Washi Tape or any other embellishments.

If you plan on stamping on the paper, do so before you construct the cup.

Happy Valentine's Day with Happy Tape

So, Washi Tape or Happy Tape is becoming B.I.G. I did several Valentine's Day cards and other items with Washi. Here are some Valentines I made for my children. I also made 15 more just like these for my preschool class.

 

 

 Here is what my current stash of Happy Tape looks like.

 

 Here is a Valentine's day letter from my children to their grandma. Happy Tape makes this envelope pop with color.

 Here is the close-up of the back of the envelope.
