Die cut washi tape

Hello! Happy Valentine's Day! Just kidding! The colors on this card make me think of Valentine's Day. :)

Anyhow, Kristina here with another card video for you all. :)

Washi tape is a HUGE trend in crafting currently and I wanted to show a way to use multiple washi tape designs on one card. I also wanted to show how you can die cut with washi tape.

One of my only complaints about washi tape is that sometimes it's just doesn't stick permanently enough for me. (It's supposed to be removable, but sometimes I don't want to remove it). So in order to make it stick better, I use Matte Multi Medium to really seal the tape to the paper. It seems to work extremely well for me. You could also try other types of adhesive. :)

I used the most adorable cloud dies on today's card, the Flat Bottom Cloud die set from My Favorite Things. I adore these little clouds. I think they're the perfect size for cards.

Anyway, enjoy!

Epiphany Inspirations

Hello Bloggers!
Have you been keeping up with the Olympics?! I watched the Opening Ceremonies on Friday, and was blown away! What's your favorite event to watch? Mine is definitely gymnastics!

Well, now on a more crafty note, I am so pumped to share with you these Epiphany inspirations! I love seeing Epiphany products in projects because it always surprises me how many ways they can be used! Check them out-

Don't you love this technique from Jennifer Priest? Here's her instructions on how to recreate this: "The oval tool has a nice slim profile, making it fun to create a pseudo masked or window effect on cards. Stamp an image onto a blank card front. Then stamp the same image onto scraps of paper. Use the Epiphany Crafts Shape Studio to create embellishments from parts of the colored image and then apply to the card front, matching them up to the plain stamped image on the card. This technique will work with any Epiphany Crafts Shape Studio but the oval is well-suited for narrow images."

Look at this pretty bloom from Sarah Hill! I would totally attach this to a stretchy headband or bobby-pin and wear in my hair! Show off the summer vibes!

These are so adorable and CUTE! I definitely think I know a few people who would squeal over seeing these are center pieces, or even strung together into a garland! We can thank Andrea Budjack for these photos of her creations!
