I needed some thank you cards recently, and was not feeling very inspired at all, sadly. I have 9 rolls of washi tape so decided to see what I could do with them since I have never used them before on a card. I tend to use washi tape on gift bags and gift tags, but not on cards. Well, things appeared to start off on the wrong foot, but in the end, I like it. When I put my first strip of washi tape down, one of my cats jumped on my table at that exact moment so the tape went down crooked, and I could not pull it off the card without it tearing the cardstock. My cat needed some attention and time to purr, and that is all it took for me to realize this might look ok set on an angle, so I went with it. I made quite a few of these cards, and they were simple and fun to make, and I was pleased that I used some of my washi tape too. Thanks for looking. ~Karen.

AWww! Sounds like a happy accident! My kitty thinks it's cuddle time whenever I sit at the computer desk! I love the Washi at an angle and i love the colors and patterns!

I have been playing with washi tape more lately too. Have collected lots of rolls but not played much until recently. I am sorry your c.s. tore. I don't think it is supposed to do that as they are supposed to be repositionable. There is that neat CTMH sentiment again. It looks great positioned between your diagonally placed washi's!

Oh my, Karen! I guess we should be thankful for the cat as your card turned out great!! I rarely use washi tape, but I really like how you used it on this great card!
