Washi Tape Holder

The perfect 3D project for this month's stamp club. I loved making this simple yet usable washi tape holder. Now I want to make a ton to hold all my washi, but I might just settle for a few to hold the current SU washi sets. The project may look complicated, but it's really very simple. The cuts and scores are as follows:

5 Tape Holder

Cardstock – 11 x 6-5/8″

Score on the LONG side at 1, 3, 5-1/2, 8, 10″

Score on the SHORT side at 2, 4-5/8″

3 Tape Holder

Cardstock – 11 x 5-5/8″

Score on the LONG side at 1, 3, 5-1/2, 8, 10″

Score on the SHORT side at 2, 3-5/8″

From there, you fold from the outside in to make the basic box. Cut diagonally to create the opening on either side of the box. To finish, add washi tape around the edge to hold the two flaps together.

SSINKMC31: Shades of Red

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create using some of the elements below. This month I went with three of the elements: Monochromatic, Single Layer, and Heat Embossing.

I grabbed four coordinating inks from the red family (Blushing Bride, Melon Mambo, Rose Red, and Real Red) and went to two layering elements from a few different stamp sets. For most of the background images, I stamped off before stamping on the Whisper White sheet. This helped balance the colors and ink saturation. As a last touch, I heat embossed the edges of the large butterfly with gold embossing powder. A nice challenge for this week!

SSINKCC31: Lots of Dots

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card using the following colors:

I decided to pull out an old favorite stamp set: Work of Art. I love the ability to use the abstract stamps to create interesting pictures and patterns. I just love my dotted background! I went with a simple sentiment with some added splats from my new Timeless Textures Stamp Set. To finish, I added some candy dots (my favorite embellishment!) and washi tape.
