Red and Aqua - Take 3

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!
