Make Your Own - Washi Tape!

This is the newest technique I have seen so you bet it made it into this class! Have you seen or heard of Washi Tape? its mostly transparent tape, like scotch tape, but thicker and repositionable, like masking tape. It has become a huge thing in the crafting world because it comes in a huge variety of patterns, like stripes, polka dots, whatever, in dozens of colors and is just the fastest way to add a bit of fun to any project. No really, ANY project.

Earlier this month, a fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrator shared a card with the technique to make your own washi tape! Well that's just too fun to pass up! I picked this fun stripe from the Sycamore Street (Sale-A-Bration!) DP and my cute new stamp set and put this together!

The technique is so easy! Lay some scotch tape onto your DP, trim around the tape, wet the back and rub off the layers til it becomes transparent! I stopped earlier than I should have, but I was on a time-crunch to get these samples done, haha! So you can still see the white on the edges of this strip. But! You can also see that its mostly transparent, but it keeps the orange stripe-yness to it.
SO FUN!
Plus! You just learned something new, haha!
And I really like this card too. *grin
