Washi Tape

I love love love washi tape!! I use it almost daily to add a little color to my notes and envelopes. I see a lot of questions around asking what you can use these little rolls of sticky goodness for. Here are just a sample of items I have jazzed up with the tape.

Easiest and fasted card I have ever made!! Just a simple strip of tape, with some fringed flowers, and you can make a card for any occasion!


Another card a made for a Harry Potter fan.


I also love jazzing up the outside of the envelopes.



Securing bubble wrap.


When using recycled packaging, sometimes it helps to add a little color to the outside of the box. I like to tape down the addresses, and the Post Office workers always comment when I get new designs!


There are so many more ways to use washi/deco tape, that this barely even scratches the surface of its uses! What do you use washi tape for?

Forever and a Day



I was fortunate to have someone contact me for a very special order. My customer and her husband have a saying that they have been telling each other for years, and she wanted it quilled. I was honored and humbled to work on something that they would cherish! The saying is "Forever and a Day". She sent me a pic of the room it would be displayed in so I could color match it. I know cursive in quilling is hard and time consuming, but I knew that it would be perfect for this project. So, here are all my work in progress pictures of this piece!










I am proud to say that she loves it!! It is so whimsical, and I can not wait to start another project like this one!

If you could have a saying quilled, what would it say?
