It's Denise here today, to show you a creative way to use washi tape. I used washi a little differently, to create some interesting design elements on a Birthday card.
Here are 2 close-up's of how I used the washi to create the circle elements for this card.
I also created a video, to show you this creative process and how I created those design elements.
There are so many ways that one can use washi tape and this is just one example.
I hope you were inspired and will give this a try.
Thanks so much for stopping by the BoBunny blog today and we hope to see you back tomorrow.
Have a fabulous day!

It's Elisa today here to tell you about something about Washi Tape!!! We are scrappers. So we love Washi... I created for you some easy inspiration project to show you different ways to use them!!
Let's start with this 3 ATCs series, made using Washi Tape by Boulevard BoBunny Collection!!!
In these ATC I used washi tape in 3 different ways:
FIRST: you can use them to decorate your project as long staight embellishment. For example you can see that I used one in vertical and other three (the glittered light blue, the champagne and the typewrite one) in orizontal, playing by layering them and using different lenghs.
SECOND: you can use the larger washi to create rosette!! You can see in the video how to make them!! Very fast, easy... and great effect!!!
THIRD: would you like to create lot of embellisments?? Take a piece of cardstock, cover it with some washi tape stripes (pay attention: don't leave empty spaces between the stripes) and then create your embellishment using a punch or diecutting the cardstock!! Easy!!
In this picture you can se the layered effect I made with the thinnest washi tapes;
you can also see a little circle, created with a 1/4" punch, cardstonk and a stripe of glittered washi;
on the left, the rosette.
Not only washi, of course... In the high right corner I used some stamps!!! I pasted the "Love this" one with a piece of foam tape. For cutting it, I used scissor and the thinnest punch of my Crop'a'dile: fast and easy!!!
Some other example of circles made using punches, washi tape and cardstock.
The rosette.
But, of course... When you say washi tape, you say journal too!!!
Let me show the journal page I create for keeping memory of my birthday party (at the theme park Gardaland, as usual!!!) . This time I chose the Celebrating Freedom Washi Tapes!!!
Let's have a look to this page:
I diecut the letters using the third technique I told you before... I put some stripes of red glittered washi on a cardstock and then diecut it!
I love washi... And I love labels too!!!
The wood effect one by We R Memory Keepers is stunning!!
I used a long stripe of flowered washi tape to decorate the lower edge of the page.
First way to fix a picture: 45° stripes on the corners!
Second way to fix a picture: vertical (or orizontal) stripes on one side of the picture.
Fixing only one side, you create a hinge. And you can can browse the picture as a page, so you can write something behind it.
I hope you had fun reading this post about Washi Tape!!!
It's Denise here today and I am so excited about sharing this Birthday Card with you today.
This card is in the shape and form of a gift bag.
Here's a view from the side so that you see the gift bag form.
I used 2 magnets under the flower clusters on the outside of the card and the inside, so that the card closes nicely and keeps its shape.
I added noteworthy pieces to the front of the card and gave some of these pieces dimension with a rounding tool and mat. I then also added some pearlescent to the flower centres and stamens.
Now to give you and inside view of this card...
I used noteworthy pieces again and to create the fold for the bottom of the card, I used washi tape, which was also the join for the 2 pieces of paper.
Under the flower cluster above is where the second magnet was placed.
I used stitching all around the various pieces and this added to the gift bag theme.
I really had so much fun creating this gift bag Birthday Card and it will definitely be used for someone special.
I hope you this gives you some dimensional card ideas and we hope that you will pop back tomorrow for some more inspiration.
Emmy here today sharing a brand new project I created for BoBunny using their fabulous Celebrating Freedom collection.
With the school starting soon, what could be better then to create a surprise paper 'backpack' for the littlest students.
To create the backpack I used two different pattern papers. For the body I used the stripy side of the Pinwheel pattern paper. Here is the sketch with the measurements.
Once you cut it out, it should look like this.
Adhere the sides using double sided tape.
For the cover, I used different pattern paper. Here is the sketch.
Before adhering it to the backpack body, round its corners using a corner punch.
For the back stripes I used two 3 x 20 cm paper stripes. I folded 1 cm of each side to be able to adhere them to the back of the backpack.
To decorate my backpack, I used various die-cut shapes and pre-cut embellishments from the Noteworthy package. There is also space for the name.
I hope I managed to inspire you today!
Have a lovely creative week!

I'm so happy these days because it's July! And July is my month!! Ok yes, the weather is hot. But, I love summer and I love to celebrate it everyday!
I started thinking..on summer every trip, every walk, every coffee with friends.. they could all become a tale! This is way I decided to use the first pictures of this month to create a LO entitled Summer Tales!
I used the BoBunny Celebrating Freedom collection and I had a lot of fun with the pictures. I didn't want to use their real color and was searching for a vintage look, so I applied a 50% Black & White Mask before stamping them. Since my images were vintage, I wanted a funny background to pair them with! So, I thought about something that could seem a watermelon.
To create the watermelon effect, I chose the Damask Double Dot Dusty Rose Cardstock and the Watermelon Paper by Celebrate Freedom to assemble my watermelon background. For the black seeds I decided so stamp some little flowers here and there in the center of some dots in the dusty rose cardstock.
And now let me show you some pictures of the details:
Near the main picture, I used the bigger embellishment. The two pinwheels (of course in pink and green) and some embossed flowers made with Simply Flowers Stamp Set.
On the other side, I used a pick butterfly, a little red flower, and a a red resin star. Behind the pictures I created some layers using the "Celebrating Freedom" and the "Happy" 12x12 papers.
Of course I also used some of the Noteworthy Flowers (I cut a branch of flowers into single ones) and the little glittered dots you see are in the Celebrating Freedom Thicker Alpha.
For the title I used two Thicker Alpha: Celebrating Freedom (red glittered) and Sweet Clementine (pink with red foiled center).
Scrapbooking Tip: I really love writing my journaling with a gray pen. Black is really too strong and I don't love it on my LO. Thanks for following along! Until next time,

Emmy here today with my first post for July featuring the astonishing Celebrating Freedom collection from BoBunny's newest release. This week we are focusing on creating layout here on BoBunny's blog and I've decided to design a layout with many different layers.
For my background I used two different pattern papers - Stars and Stripes and Pinwheel. I cut off 2 cm from each side of the Pinwheel pattern paper, distressed its edges using a paper piercing tool and a paper distresser and adhered it in the middle of the Stars and Stripes pattern paper. After the papers were secured, I sprinkled Frost Glimmer Spray on top.
I matted my picture on a slightly larger panel of white cardstock. To create the layers under my picture I used various 12" pattern papers and pattern papers from the Paper pad matching the collection. Before adhered the different layers together with mounting foam tape, I distressed their edges.
To decorate my layout I used die cut images from the Noteworthy pack and layered chipboard embellishments.
For my title I used a word from one of the pattern papers.
To finish off my design I added different color rhinestones.
I hope you enjoyed today's post
