Carissa's NSD Inspiration and Challenge

Welcome to the Pumpkin Spice Blog hop. This is Carissa from Happily Ever Paper Crafter.

Today my post is all about WASHI TAPE. The amazing stuff that is versatile and colorful and decorative and useful and sticky but not too sticky. Yup, I love me some washi tape.

I created two projects to share with you. The first is a 3D paper box that I cut with my Cricut and decorated with washi tape.

The second are these are two cards I made using the washi tape as both decorative and functional. The bottom layer of tape is holding the pocket together to create the envelope.

 Here is a video showing how I created these projects!

Supplies:
