Hello Friends With Flair. Wow, I am trying to get used to the summer schedule and having the kids around and still be able to create. I really need my creative time, how about you? Both of these cards have had elements finished on my desk for weeks, but I couldn't seem to get the whole card made. Then I got my box of stamps in the mail. I always feel like a little kid when they arrive, even though I ordered them and I know what is in the box. But to be able to hold them in my hot little hands, yea!!!!
I saw a blog post by Cindy Coutts and she showed how to make "washi-like" tape with a roll of Post-it labels. I didn't even know the product existed, but she showed how you could stamp your own backgrounds on the tape and use it on a card. Low and behold in a bin near the registers at Office Depot, I see the rolls of Post-it tape. It comes in many colors and it contains 58 feet per roll. I chose white since it was the most versatile for me.
It says it sticks securely and removes cleanly, which I found to be very accurate. I used bitty backgrounds and cut "V's" in the "custom washi tape" So I had this part finished and adhered to my green card base and did not know what else to do. When I saw this "so blessed", Unity Simple Stories. I stamped in image in rich cocoa, Memento ink and used Copics to color parts. I used a Spellbinder circles and flag and pennants dies to complete. It is simple, yet sweet.

It had adhesive on it and I kept moving it around my desk (it was a good piece of cardstock I had to find a use). I looked at this Everything in Love, itty bitty and thought it would fit in the Spellbinder pennant dies and yea! it did. I used both the regular and lacey pennant dies. I colored the heart with Copic and used same Copic marker on some twill ribbon to finish the project. Again quick and easy. And I used up pieces sitting on my desk. Bonus!
Have a great day! Thanks for stopping by.
