Ways With Washi #7
Greetings, DeNami Friends! It's Emily here today with my July edition of
Ways With Washi. Today I'm exploring another practical side of washi
tape: I love using it to tape down gift cards and cash in birthday cards and gift enclosures! Not only does the washi tape add a cute pop
of color, it keeps those small gift cards (and not to mention easily
misplaced cash!) in place when you enclose them in a card. Plus, most
washi tape is easily removed, so it won't damage the cash or
card.
I've created a few samples to give you a better idea of what I mean. To get us started, I made a fun birthday card with an interior sentiment on the right-hand panel. That blank interior panel on the left is the perfect place to tape in a $20 bill as a birthday gift with some punchy Pink Chevron washi tape from DeNami.
Now how about an easy way to say thank you? Giving a
gift card along with a handmade card is one of my favorite ways to do so. I
can easily keep the gift card secure by taping it next to a "thank you"
sentiment inside the card with some washi tape, like this fun Blue Stripes
washi tape from DeNami. See? Simple! But it has loads of impact.
For my last project for today, I wanted to show you
how easy it is to make your own gift card holder from a glassine bag with
the help of some washi tape.
You can
decorate the exterior of the glassine bag however you'd like. I did a bit of
background stamping directly on the glassine bag with white StazOn ink and
kept my focal point on the smaller side so you can catch a tantalizing
glimpse of what's inside!
See you back here next month for some more Ways With Washi!
