CMM68 | Washi Tape

If you're a regular follower of The Card Makin' Mamas Challenge Blog, you know we've been a little off our game lately. Between job changes and cross country moving, there are a few things shaking behind the scenes; please forgive the dust as we make improvements over the next few weeks. We hope the upcoming changes will help settle things down and make your creative experience here a great one!

Stay tuned for the details - better yet, join the CMM Facebook group or sign up for emails and be one of the first to know!

Love playing with current trends and this one is no exception...our current challenge is to use:

WASHI TAPE

There are so many designs and sizes, a style for every crafter! Use it on the background, as an embellishment, as a journaling strip...

And our sponsor is our very own JESSICA, owner of the CMM Challenge Blog! She has found some treasure to share with the winner of this challenge!

Let's see what some of the CMM Design Team has to show you!

No Patterned Paper Inspiration

I love patterned paper. All the designs, the combinations of colors, themes, textures...all the work has been done and all we have to do is create something with it, right?!

Not this time...

This challenge is NO PATTERNED PAPER. This means if it came with a label, you probably can't use it...only plain cardstock. Now, you can dress it up any way you like...consider it an opportunity to use those stamps, inks, folders, paints, tapes, etc. and make your very own custom designer papers!


Our challenge is sponsored by My Creative Classroom - donating a seat in any class!

Look at what some of the DT came up with.


DT Penny




Need more inspiration? How about a peek at some of your cards!

shares her process for making this background...so fab!
another tutorial! cute boy & girl versions...

CAS and acetate...stunner!

Layered up, CAS, somewhere in the middle...it's your call! Check out the other participants - lots of generous crafters have shared tutorials or links on how they designed their own papers!
