It's Maria back on the blog today!  I have been looking for some inspiration on Pinterest and decided to make some super easy and quick cards with some beautiful Washi tapes from the Paper House Productions!  Have you all checked them out yet at the shop? Holy, moly those Washis are so beautiful!   I feel like they need to be showcased more than just adding it to decorate your planners and notebooks. I am so fortunate to be a design team member of Paper House Productions because not only to they make beautiful paper pads and stickers, these Washi Tapes are to die for! Look at how beautiful those prints really are, and with foiling!  Love, love, love them all! Here's what I got to play with:

For my first card, I started out by cutting my smooth white card stock to 5 1/2 X 4 1/4.  I layered the
StickyPix Stargazer Washi Tape
with the
Wine Washi Tape set
 and die cut the card stock with the Wonky Stitched Rectangle Frames Die.   I also used my Bow punch to punch out the pieces to create my bow with a gold-foiled card stock to match the washi.

I adhered my front panel onto the card base with my Xyron Tape Runner first, then adhered the gold bow on the foreground using a bit of hot glue.  I finished my card design by stamping the sentiment onto the card.

  The
stargazer washi tape set
is one of my favorites.  I just love the gold foil details and the color is just simply beautiful!  Here's a little close-up of the card:

I wanted to create a birthday card for my second project with the same design.  This time, I used the
Wine Washi Tape Set
which is going to go perfectly with the sentiment.  A friend of mine is turning 60 and she's a bit bummed about it.  This card will hopefully cheer her up!

  Isn't this hilarious?  I just LOVE this
Wine washi Tape Set
 and I think adhering it on a white card stock made the images pop!
