Colorful cards with Washi Tapes!

Hello and good morning dear friends!

I’m Halak and today I have a set of 3 super colorful cards to share that were created using PABD Washi Tapes.

All those who are familiar with my work would know that I am a huge fan of these tapes. I use them often and have quite a collection. (Sometimes though, I feel that the reason for loving washi tapes so much is because I am a lazy crafter and these come adhesive backed! lol.)

Anyway, let me not ramble on, let’s get to the projects!

Card #1

I’ve used washi tapes with a bit of stenciling (Arrow Stencil by PABD) here and teamed it up with a die-cut sentiment (Word – Celebrate Die by PABD).

Washis used: Chevron Delight & Colorful Polka

Tip: Don’t hesitate to experiment with washis. They look great with stenciled backgrounds. Only one thing to keep in mind, use a couple of those colors that are on the washi as your stenciled background base and your project will look beautifully coordinated.

Card #2

In this project I have layered the washi tapes and die-cut them using the versatile Dual Stitched Hexagon Die by PABD. The sentiment is a sticker.

Washis used: Chevron Delight, Colorful Polka, Colorful Oasis, Funky Geometry & Rainbow Hues

Tip: Die-cut shapes, sentiments etc. by stacking up washis for a fun look.

Card #3

Last but not the least, in this project I have used the washi tapes as-is. Stacked them up and added the dreamy Word - Dream die by PABD. The sentiment is colored using distress oxides.

Washis used: Chevron Delight, Colorful Polka, Colorful Oasis, Funky Geometry & Rainbow Hues 

Tip: Color co-ordinate your washi tapes when you plan to stack them. Rainbow colored ones never fail!

This brings us to an end of my post. I hope you liked my projects and were inspired to try some washi tapes out! (Give it a go, they're super fun!)

Card and Tags

Hello and good afternoon dear friends! ^__^

I'm Halak and today I have a card with a couple of tags to share, using some fantastic products from the prior releases of Peek-a-boo Designs (PABD)!

Let's start with the card.

Usually we use ribbon at the top / bottom of the card but in this layout I thought of using it in the central portion of my card.
 

I've used the Leafy Delight stencil along with tiny pieces of die-cuts from the Dual Leaf cutting die. (That die really compliments the stencil design beautifully, what say?)

Finished it off with the gorgeous (and one of my favorites) Word Die - Dream and a couple of rhinestones.

Tip : When you are using a ribbon in the center, you can either embellish towards the edges of the card like I have done or leave the sides completely blank. Either way, it will look good!

Here's my second project :

In this project, I've used the Chrysanthemum stamp with circles from the Scalloped Circle cutting die to create circular tags.

Watercolored the blooms and colored the backgrounds using distress inks.

Stenciled a little onto the background using the same distress inks with the Leafy Delight stencil and added some flat white sequins.

Here's the list of PABD products used in today's projects :

Hope you liked the projects! I'd love to know what you think.

Thank you so much for stopping by! *Hugs*
