Happy hump day! I am starting to like the idea of “Wing it” Wednesday’s – it’s kind of fun to just do something totally different and I know last week you all liked the post on Washi Tape so I hope that you will enjoy this one as well!
The reality is…we buy this WASHI TAPE and true it is super pretty, fun and festive ….but then I hear – I have all of this Washi Tape…what do I do with it? EASY – USE IT UP!!! Using the washi and then a thinlit is a fun way to use it!
It is as simple as laying it down on scraps and going to town! 🙂
This bundle and YEP (for sure) I would purchase it as a bundle as the details are amazing ~ is called Santa’s Sleigh. I think that Stampin’ Up! did a fantastic job with this bundle as it can lend itself to classic or a modern flair…just have FUN with the colors which will help set the tone for your project! (I predict that this is one that will be flying out the door)
I know that it appears to use a bunch of Washi Tape and it did (because of the envelop) but to do the tree…it does not use much at all! You can see how simple it is to place the tape on a piece of paper…..go to the Big Shot, PRESTO – cut the tree out!
Do you remember back at Easter when I made (3) different Washi Tape Cards? – CLICK HERE – SAME CONCEPT….This is a super fun technique to do with children or even the elderly as it is easy to tear, to place down, to remove if needed etc….
I hindsight I could have used the sentiment that is in this bundle but I chose to use the Better Together Stamp Set….I just simply cannot get enough of this stamp set as it is just one super versatile one that fits many occasions…great little images, great small stamps (I love them to add here and there)
The holidays seem to bring out the BLING in many of our projects, that’s why I added the BLING in my Product Share (Share #2 with the foil and glimmer)…this little gold touch of the star as well as on the envelope makes is super festive. This is one card that looks soooo much better than it does in the pictures!
Here is the 411 – Directory Assistance picture for you to pin! I encourage you to try to use washi tape and framelits! It really is a fun way to add a different twist to your project. I think that we have a great new selection of FUN washi tapes in the new catalog…just think how cute it would be to use ornaments – Fast, Fun & DONE!
Tomorrow is just about here – YIPPEE, September 1st….the day that you all can order from the new Holiday Catalog. I am excited as I know that there are going to be LOTS of fun projects being made by you!
Yesterday I sent out the remainder of the Invoices for the Product Share. If you did not receive one and you thought that you had ordered a share, please email me. If you are interested in participating in the share, please email me your share order.
I will be offering it again but it will not be until the 3rd week of September! This is going to be a FUN and BUSY month so if you want in….I would hop on it today! I have been working on my order and I will be like Cinderalla as I know you all are just as anxious to receive your shares!
You can find all of the scoop of the shares above in the drop down box or click here – Just to clarify share #2 – you will get 1/2 sheets of all of the new papers and also 1/2 sheets of the “glitz & glim” as I like to call it….more specifically the foils and glimmer papers! I thought that it would be fun to offer these for the holiday!
Until tomorrow…make the LAST DAY of AUGUST a fun one….do something to make you smile!
p.s. – I had a text yesterday very early from Catherine Ann….her son rested well and is continuing to improve and even though he is in a great deal of pain and discomfort she said his eyes were smiling!!!!! Hopefully by now they have him off the ventilator…..keep praying….it’s working!
Now this is a Fun way to use up that washi tape that’s stuck in drawers! I never thought to use it this way, but I like the results. Thank you for all the tips and tricks you come up with. So happy to hear that Catherine Ann’s son is doing well. I’ve prayed for him several times. You are right, prayer works~
So glad to hear Catherine’s son is improving. One day at a time. Prayers and hugs will continue. Your card is beautiful! Love this idea with washi tape…..it gives a new, fresh look to stamping. Thanks, Susan and a smiley, sunny day!
Don’t you just love this bundle????? It was the first one on my wish list and now you have given me more to try with it!!!! Love this idea, Susan!!!
Happy news of Catherine Ann’s son. ? God is good.
If Catherine Ann’s son’s eyes are smiling – well, let’s go with When Irish eyes are smiling sure tis like a morn in spring. In the lilt of Irish laughter, you can hear the angels sing. When Irish eyes …… So much for that. The angels were singing their praise in saving another fine soul. But, continued well wishes, thoughts and prayers continue.
Now, what good am I? I couldn’t get the llama’s officially or unofficially named. Maybe Will can have his students name the cousins. I couldn’t get Wishy Washi Wednesday named but at least Wing It Wednesday is better than Hump Day! Really each Wednesday could feature a project with Washi Tape! Whatever. That reminds me I need to scan that card to you with the Washi tape on it. Your card is so much fun. You could even add some enamel dots or colored pearls or rhinestones for ornaments to it. But, what I like the best is that sentiment! I had totally blown past that set when I saw the cost and missed this. You used it and I fell in love with it. So, I am getting it with my local card group as I was hostess this month and the credit made the cost much more manageable for me. Yep, you got it, I am cheap, frugal, and tend to justify some of my purchases since I quit working. Now, since we are suppose to go have fun today since it is the last day of the month, I am going to finish a couple 3D projects and a card and actually get them in the mail today!
Good to hear your friend’s son is improving and our thoughts and prayers are helping.
I’m a big fan of washi tape (thanks to you I’m using it more) and can’t resist a fun roll wherever/whenever I see one. Thanks for the inspiration!
Still praying for Catherine Ann’s son. This card is very cute. Love that tree! Great stamp sets too.
