UHM: A Simple Washi Hello

For those of you who are just starting to test out the washi waters or have been at it awhile, this is the swap for you. :)

We will be making a washi card for our partner to brighten her day. Therefore, please write a little hello note inside and on the card.

Fine Details:

• Grab a few rolls of washi tape or some of the samples you've received lately.
• Lay some strips side by side on a piece of card stock. If you're making a standard A2 size card (4 1/4 x 5 1/2), your card stock layer could be 5 x 3 3/4 (this is what I tend to use).
• In my swap photo, I put my strips diagonally and then added a stamped "hello" saying in the corner. As not all washi tape is created equal as far as stickiness goes, please fold your tape edge around to the back of the layer and then adhere the layer to a folded card base.

Feel free to use a similar design or come up with one of your own. Adding a stamped greeting is optional. If you want to do all strips with no greeting, that's fine too. Sometimes they look pretty just as they are.

• Decorate the front of your envelope with washi tape.
• (Include 4 random washi tape samples for your partner to play with. (I wrap 9 times around a playing card. One side equals one wrap. It gives about 22" per sample.)

Once you try a simple washi card, you may be inspired to create a few more and use them for pen pal cards, swap cards, etc.

Have fun! :)
