Wonderful Washi w/Love My Tapes

Have you stopped by Love My Tapes yet?  If you haven't, I do hope you will check out this wonderful Etsy shop.  It's filled with the most lovely washi tapes and journalling stickers that will give you endless creative options.  I've sure been having a lot of fun challenging myself to find new and creative ways to use washi.  I have two fun cards to share with you today using Love My Tapes washi.

This first card was a lot of fun.  I used a stamp set from Dare 2B Artzy that's called Textures Totally Tracy.  It's a set I don't remember to use nearly enough, but that's much the case with many of my stamps.  Once I'd created my messy background, I added some pieces of the pretty Pink & Yellow Floral Washi Tape and Ruler Washi Tape.  I added some Spun Sugar, Lilac, Raspberry and Storm Tim Holtz Oxide Inks. to "mess it up" even more.  (lol)

The sentiment (Hello) is a die-cut from Frantic Stamper.  I laid a few strips of Black Checker Washi Tape in a row on white cardstock and then die-cut my word (Hello) so that the black letting would stand out against the Floral Washi Tape.  You'll also see that I added some of the Ruler Washi Tape to my card.  That's another one I seen to be using quite a bit.

My second card was also a lot of fun to create.  I used another somewhat forgotten, but much loved, stamp set on this one.  It's from Kitchen Sink Stamps and it's called Letters From The Past.  I created my fun background, and added Amber, Hickory Smoke and Burlap Tim Holtz Oxide Inks to create the card base.

I used only one washi tape on this card - on the left-hand side of my card.  This one is called Postmark Washi and I thought it matched my theme well.  There are SO many great washi tapes at Love My Tapes and I hope you'll take a peek to see what grabs your attention.

I also used a pretty Journalling Sticker from Love My Tapes.  They have so many cute stickers for journalling, envelope art, and lots of other creative uses.  Just let your creativity run wild.  Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today and happy crafting.

I'm sharing my washi cards in the following challenges:
