Fun With Washi

I've struggled with what to do with my washi tape.   I think it's a great idea, and I bought several rolls thinking I would use them, but I never did ... until now.  I perused Pinterest using the search phrase "washi card" ... well, there are LOTS of ideas out there.  Had I only looked sooner!  Let me tell you, this was one of the EASIEST cards I've ever done, and I think it looks super cool...






You could make this card over and over and over with different combinations of washi tape, and it would never look the same twice!  Don't you think you could do this card too? 

The only thing CTMH I used here was the stamp set "The Happy Couple".  The washi tape and the gems were Michael's $1 bin finds!

He Is Risen Easter Card

I needed to make a few Easter cards for the shut-ins at church.  I LOVE the "His Love" stamp set in the SE1 catalog.  This one doesn't go away 3/31 so there's still time to buy it!  The paper is actually 2013's Christmas paper called "frosted".  I LOVED it so I still have a ton left. 



I finished it off by coloring in the stem of the Easter lily with an alcohol marker, put on some silver shimmer trim and some grayish blue pearls I got from Oriental Trading of all places!

Buy the stamp set I used from my website for only $9.95:
