WIYM: Washi Hello

Let's make some easy washi cards! Grab a few rolls of tape or some of the samples you've received lately and lay some strips side by side on a piece of card stock (or use cut up manila folders). In my example above, I put them diagonally and then added a stamped "hello" saying in the corner. As not all washi tape is not created equal, I like to fold the edges around to the back so they'll stay down. When you have put as many strips as you want on the card, adhere it to a folded card.

Feel free to use a similar design or come up with one of your own. You can always do a "google" search for more inspiration. Adding a stamped greeting is optional. Your cards can just be all strips, as they are pretty too.

Fine Details

• 2 partners; one washi card for each. You will write a note to your partners inside the cards.
• Decorate your envelopes with tape (on the front; use several different colors).
• Include 4 twelve-inch (30.48cm) strips for your partner to play with.
• Sender's choice on colors (so we can all begin creating now if we want to).
• Minimum rating to join: 5.0 - yes, a perfect score.

Warning, once you try one a simple washi card, you may be inspired to create more and more of them to use them for pen pal cards, swap cards, etc.

Have fun! :)
