Red and Aqua – Take 3

October 12, 2011 By Spoonful of Sugar - 29 Comments

Another paper project today. I spotted the Washi Tape Wrapping paper over at Poppytalk and had to make some to match our Christmas theme. As you know I have a Japanese washi tape addiction, but I find I use it sparingly on gift wrapping as it is almost too good to use. The brilliant idea at Poppytalk was to make the wrapping paper by sticking the tape onto a sheet of printer paper, scan and print so that you can make any number of sheets of gift wrap – just brilliant!
Luckily I have plenty of tape in red and aqua.
I made up a couple of sheets of gift wrap. Sadly my printer inks were running low so my paper is scanned and ready to print when the new ones arrive.
I even made a little house tag to match. 
You can find a good range of Japanese washi masking tape at Crafty Japan – I just spotted some cool reindeer tape – perhaps I need to add that to my collection?

    When I saw those washi houses on Poppytalk I realized I might actually have to break down and buy some tape — they’re just tooo cute! I LOVE the paper and tag you’ve made. Just trying to keep from having another obsession LOL!
