Oriental trading - washi tape

Hi all, happy new year!

 Hope your year is off to a good start. Today i am sharing with you

5 quick and easy cards i made with washi tape from Oriental Trading. For the first card, i used the travel washi tape set and laid the strips down on a diagonal with space on the top for the sentiment. I then, cut a piece of cardstock in tan and put strips of the green washi across it . next, i diecut the word thanks and adhered it to my 6 x6 card. After that card, i got on a roll (pun intended) lol!  and used the same idea for the other 4 cards but changing the direction of the washi and then stamping with stamps from my stash in the open areas. I just love how they came out! So simple, fun and a great way to make your own pattern paper. check out the pics below.



Fyi- to check out the awesome washi tapes i used and many more go here:

Oriental trading valentine’s day decor

Hi all,

Love is in the air ❤️ lol! I finally packed up Christmas decor and started on valentine’s day. I made my mantle so pretty with decor from Oriental trading . I just fell in love ( pun intended) with the gold and white decor! So since i had sooo much fun making over my lil mantle for Christmas i just had to keep my momentum going and do valentines day decor right after, right?! 
So to bring a pop of red in, since i had mostly white decor i used red ribbon and red tassel garland to bring the red around the mantle. On the mirror is a white washed happy valentines day plaque that i hung in the center and added a lil ribbon bow. Next is the set of white glass lanterns ( on on each side) that i added a red bow to and a glass glitter votive inside.   In the middle, i addded  really  cool white and gold X O letters. They are so pretty! To add more shimmer i added two more glittery votives and a red ribbon tied around. Lastly, i add a gold heart banner and red tassel banner to complete the look. I had a ton of fun decorating my mantle and getting it ready for valentines day! check out my pics below.

 And in case I don’t say it often, i love you all and thanks for visiting my blog! Have a great day and happy creating!

Still working on Christmas cards

I decided to go with gold @adornit washi bow so that it is nice and flat for mailing instead of a rhinestone. I love my @americancrafts mini punches i won a while back from @spiegelmom_scraps - did you know you can punch washi... cool right?! #washi #punch #bowpunch #christmascards #crazycrafter #cardmaking #snailmail #minipunch

Club scrap November Trattoria Blog Hop

Hi all, welcome to the club Scrap trattoria blog hop. If you are hopping along with us then you are here from Hetty’s blog. If you want to start from the beginning or if you get lost along the way , head to Karen’s club scrap blog post .

Here is the 12 x12 page i made using the trattoria deluxe kit with stamps 

Here is what i did to make this page : 

I changed the wood veneer by inking it with brown distress ink

I layered on the bardstock mats behind the picture

I stamped the vegetable stamp randomly with red ink to make a background for my picture 

I cut a 3 inch circle inked the edges and used the kit stencil and the brown ink to stencil the chefs hat and added a lil bow from the embellishments 

I then matted the ivory page onto the olive green cardstock to frame it

Added fun enamel dots and alphas to make my title from my stash 

Close-up 

Thanks for stopping by and happy creating! 

Next stop is Cheryl’s blog
