Get Free Stamp Sets!

I bet you like this bright, happy card as much as I do. The background strips are simply torn pieces of Washi tape from our Cherry on Top collection. The card base is Tip Top Taupe with a layer of Watermelon Wonder on top. The cute stamp is from Watercolor Words stamped in Watermelon Wonder.

This card was designed by Creative Convention Online, which is for Stampin' Up! demonstrators only. I so enjoy being a part of a community where I can learn so many ideas, and meet a bunch of other crafty people. Would you like to have those perks, and several others?

Gift Bags

Today I have a couple of our cute chevron gift bags that I sealed with just a little bit of Washi Tape. I wanted to dress these up so I used the Festive Paper Piercing Pack (127857). This pack has a template for the Window Frames Framelits (129021).  I used the Lots of Thanks stamp set (129690) for the sentiment, and the Flower Shop stamp set (130942) for the flowers. That set has a coordinating punch. The leaves were cut from the Little Leaves Sizzlet. I really like the fact that the Washi Tape can be peeled back without damaging the bag. After making a handmade bag, I like to think that it might just get re-used.
Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Gingham Garden Designer Washi Tape #129314

You have to be under a rock if you haven't noticed how popular Washi Tape has become of late. It's all over Pinterest, Etsy, Facebook, and certainly in every popular craft store on or off line. That includes Stampin' Up! of course.
Washi is a style of Japanese paper tape most commonly made using fibers from natural barks.
The word comes from wa meaning Japanese and shi meaning paper. It is used to describe paper made in the traditional manner regardless of where it's manufactured. Because it is natural it is much easier to work with. It holds pretty good, but is repositionable if you work with it slowly. It will stick to most surfaces without damaging effects.
I have used Washi tape more and more since SU introduced it in their new catalog. They currently have four different sets. (3 in a set). There are 5 yards of each design for $4.95. That's quite a bargain. I have used it to seal envelopes, wrap around bottle necks, wrapping, and card making. There are tons of uses.
