Wonderful Washi Blog Hop

Pin It

Hi everyone! Today's post is kind of a "two-fer" if you will.  Not only is this another wonderful blog hop hosted by DeNami Design, but it's also some seriously fun ideas for using Washi tape! So if you've ever wanted to know what the heck to do with it (like me not so long ago) or if you're just looking for new ideas, you've come to the right place. The ladies in this hop are sure to have some wonderful inspiration for you!

When: The blog hop starts on January 13th at 6 AM, PST. However, you have until January 14, 2013, 11:59 pm PST, to leave comments on all the blogs (to be eligible for a prize).

Why: To be inspired by fun DeNami Design creations and also the chance to win mini shopping sprees on the DeNami Design website!

Prizes: We are giving away THREE $20 gift certificates to our website! We'll be giving away one gift certificate to a random participant (DT members not eligible) and then we'll also be giving away TWO gift certificates to TWO people who comment along the hop!

You should have arrived here from one of newest DeNami DT members, Tammy Hobbs. I'm betting that she had some great eyecandy for you didn't she? If you didn't get here from there, no biggie, you can go back to the DeNami blog for a full list of participants to get right back on track. 

I came up with a little cream, black & red card and candle combo...

 For my card I simply ran 2 strips of Washi tape up the side of the card and then layered on a piece of double sided tape and sprinkled on silver glitter. I stamped out the water lily on red and charcoal cardstocks then fussy cut the pieces I needed to make a two-toned flower for my little panel. I just LOVE Pinterest and fell in love with the darling glittered candles on there and thought that I could make one, but with my own spin on it of course. I started off with running a strip of Washi tape around the bottom then ran a strip of double sided tape right above the Washi and sprinkled on the silver glitter. I added the ribbon and a fussy cut water lily to finish it all off. My only issues...the glitter was a little hard to get off of the candle itself - I ended up having to use a damp cloth to wipe it off and I dropped the candle so now it has a nice little dent, lol. Ohh well, thinking who ever I give it to will still like it, dent and all ;)

 That's it for me today, now off you go to visit with the very talented Lisa Petrella.  I can't wait to see what she has in store for us! Have a great day :)
