Card Tutorial 17 – Hello
While in Japan last year, I bought some “washi” tape, which is decorative tape made of paper. They were gorgeous and I thought I’d use it in my card for this week. I also used some lantern rubber stamps for the background. I have to admit that I hurriedly made a card for this week’s tutorial last night. I just don’t know where the weekend went! Anyhow, hope you like it.
Here are the supplies I used:
1) One folded cardstock in chartreuse measuring 5.5in x 4.25in.
2) Washi tape from Japan, similar to this.
3) Lantern rubber stamps from Impress Rubber Stamps
5) Color Box Chalk Ink in Chestnut Roan from Paper-Source
6) Versamark Ink from Paper-Source.
7) “Hello” rubber stamp from Papertrey Ink’s “Modern Basics” collection.
Here we go!
Step1: After assembling the card, I realized that the “congratulations” sentiment pictured below was going to be too long for the card, so i switched to a smaller “hello” sentiment.
Step2: Using versamark ink, I stamped the background of the card using two types of Lantern rubber stamps from Impress Rubber Stamps.
Step3: I used all three tapes for the card.
Step4: Here’s how I started to assemble the tape on the card.
Step5: All three tapes adhered along the left side of the card.
Step6: For the sentiment, I stamped the “hello” sentiment onto some white cardstock, and cut out each of the images. I then adhered it onto the card.
Here’s the finished card!
