Hello Stamping Friends!
Today it’s all about Washi Tape but on a personal note, I want to wish my grandson a very Happy 1st Birthday! From the moment he arrived one year ago today, he has brought nothing but sunshine and joy into our lives. You can’t help but smile when he smiles back at you which is ALL. THE. TIME. Such a happy little boy. I feel so blessed!!
Now it is time for Washi Tape!
First, I thought I would share how I store it. Stampin’ Up! sells Washi Tape in sets so I like to keep them all together and it is so easy with a metal ring! Whether you have hooks to hang them onto or you store them in a drawer, it so much easier to choose the one you want when they’re all together.
Another trick is to use a bread “clip” at the end so that you aren’t wasting valuable crafting time trying to find the end. (Tell your family that you’re collecting them and you’ll have a big stash of them in no time)! I have found that both of these ideas work for me and I have Patty Bennett to thank for both tips!
The big craze these days is decorating your planner with stickers and Washi Tape. I’ve gone back and forth with different planners in the last six months but ended up going back to my Franklin Planner. When I retired from teaching I didn’t think I would need all the space that this type of planner provides but I do! The Blooms pages are so pretty but I thought a little bit of Washi Tape would jazz the pages up a bit.
This set of washi tape is called Cherry on Top and you can find it HERE in my Online Store.
Place an order this month using the host code and besides sending you a thank you card, you’ll receive a small gift as well!

Hi Stamping Friends!
I made this card last week with the intention of showing one way to use the glitter tape that was available during Sale-a-bration but it sold out before I could write my post. Another product that could be substituted is our Glimmer Paper. A small strip on both sides of the card would give it just the perfect amount of sparkle!
The real star of the show though is the Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper! It’s so pretty that you really don’t need much else to make this card. After adding the sparkle tape, I cut a 3-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ piece of DSP and adhered it to a piece of Watermelon Wonder that measured 3-1/2″ x 5-1/2″. My sentiment is stamped with Memento Ink using one of the Circle of Spring stamps. I used the 1-3/8″ Circle punch and adhered it to a Mint Macaron 1-3/4″ Scallop Circle. My paper piercer was used to poke holes around each scallop. (Edited: Earlier I stated the incorrect size Scallop Circle punch – it has been corrected).
After I photographed the card I thought it could use a little bling and that version can be seen below. What do you think? Which version do you prefer?

Thanks for stopping by!
Today I’ll share the last of the goodies inside my stationary boxes. The boxes wouldn’t have been complete without something to write in and with! The coordinating notepads are 3″ x 5″ and I purchased them on Amazon. Just as I did with the gum holders, I used the same paper that coordinated with the paper that was used to slip inside the sleeve of the full size stamp case.
I used the stamp set that comes with the Watercolor Wishes Card Kit (the stamp set cannot be purchased separately). I used Pentel RSVP pens and unscrewed the black part which can be seen at the bottom of the picture, rolled up the paper and inserted it inside the barrel. In a previous post I did a short video on how to do this, so click here if you’d like to see it.
