Some Washi Tape Cards and Storage Ideas

Hello Friends, Happy Tuesday!!! I am here to share a few more of my Washi tape cards that  I did  - and this time, with Washi tapes from Michaels...Yup!! Michaels is carrying them now. Lots of them. I just got a few designs.

The first card uses a Digi Silhouette image in the main panel that I got from Etsy. In retrospect, if I redo this card, I will make the main image a bit more smaller. The sentiment is from PTI handwritten Notes. For the second card I used the PTI Stamps - Birds of a Feather.

I now had a stash of Washi tapes and was looking for a good storage idea. I ended up getting this cropper hopper ribbon carousel to store my washi tapes.

Last but not the least, I wanted to share with you this ATG Gun Holder/Stand that I got from ebay - Geppetto Creations.  I got to know about it from my friend Michele.

It is very sturdy and holds the ATG gun very well and it is now so easy to find my ATG gun. Here are some pictures of it.

I was kind of intrigued by this card sketch from Page Maps Blog :) and of course the fun prize too. So, I created a card for this sketch using the PTI Bird Watching stamp set.

Here is my card,

I stamped the Bird House for my panel and then cut out the bird and put it with some pop dots. I really loved how this card turned out. The Patterned paper is from my Stash. Not sure if it is sassfras. :)

PTI September Blog Hop

It is time for PTI Blog Hop. This time the challenge is to reuse, re purpose or recycle packaging from the Papertrey Package. I did two projects this time for this challenge.



I used the clear boxes that the stamps come in and re purposed it to be a card holder. I used the PTI 6x6 designer Paper and covered this clear box on both sides. I put a ribbon and the used the new holiday sets - Vintage Label, Signature Christmas and Sweet Poinsettia to create the tag for the front of the box.



I also use the Corrugated Chipboard packaging that they use to keep the PTI Papers from getting bent and created a card with it.



I kept the card simple with the bird house as the focal image.

Supplies:
Stamp - PTI Bird Watching, PTI Vintage Label, PTI Signature Christmas, PTI Sweet Poinsettia
Paper - PTI Rustic White CS, PTI Everyday Blessings DP
Ink - Memento Black, Copics, PTI Dark Chocolate, PTI Hibiscus Burst, PTI New Leaf
Other - Nestabilities

PTI July Blog Hop - with catalog inspired colors

PTI July blog hop was twist on text integrated into our projects. I started out with creating a card with crayon resist background using PTI Background Basics - Text and Garden of life. I kind of liked that effect as well. But when I saw my finished card, I realized that I had glued on the text portion upside down. It might not make a difference, but some how I was not happy with it. So, I had to create another card. Here is my card for the blog hop.



Here is a closeup of the flowers - I cut them out with cuttlebug, stamped with the PTI Background basics - text and then crumpled them a bit for a vintage look and added a New Leaf button in the center.



Here is the catalog that inspired the colors of the birdhouse,



And the copics I used for the birdhouse,



I decided to add my first attempt as well...even thought the text is facing upside down. I some how liked this card. I used glossy card stock and first stamped the PTI Background basics - text in stazon black ink. Once that dried, I stamped the flower from PTI Garden of Life. Then I colored it with crayon and dabbed Berry Sorbet ink all over the card stock. I added a simple ribbon, sentiment and some flowers that I did the same treatment as the first card, cut with cuttlebug and stamped with PTI Background Basics - Text.



Sorry for the long winded post and thanks for stopping by. :)

PTI 2009 Swap - Round 3

PTI Swap round 3 for this year includes backgrounds and full cards. I had signed up for two spots in backgrounds and one spot in cards.

Here is my card for the swap. Inspired by the background swap, I used the Basic Backgrounds Retro to create a background for my swap card and used the bird houses from Bird wathing set. I colored the bird houses with copics and cut them out with Nestabilities Label 1 dies. Kept the card simple. I used the Vintage Cream CS from PTI and I just love how the colored image looks on this CS.





Here is my card,
