Creative Packaging - Card Envelope

I made this card for my sister in law for her birthday, but while making it, I didn't really measure to make it a common card size that I had envelopes for.  So what I did was cut down one of my bigger bitty bags and used the bag as an envelope!  With the bulkiness of the card, this actually worked out perfectly!  I wrapped the bag in twine and stamped a gumball tag, I was really happy with the results!

Stamping on Solid Washi Tape

Most people would see solid washi tape and think "boring".  But solid washi tape is actually my favorite to use.  With an ink pad and a stamp, you can totally make it your own!

Here are a few examples of stamped washi tape that I made using black and red solid washi tape.

Easy Washi Tape Tags

Washi tape is a new embellishment that I love to use!  What is washi tape?  Washi tape is made with washi paper, which is Japanese rice paper.  It has a texture similar to masking tape.  It can easily be torn by hand and is repositional.  I use it in a variety of projects like scrapbooking, cardmaking, gift wrapping and tags.  Here is a simple tag I made using washi tape.

What you need:  a blank tag, an ink pad, a stamp, washi tape, bakers twine, scissors

First, adhere a strip of washi tape to the bottom of the tag.

Stamp your chosen sentiment/design on the tag. I chose to do a to/from tag.

Last, tie baker's twine to the tag.
