Simple Craft Tape Birthday Card

I made this card for my niece’s birthday last week.

The hand cut card blank measures 5.5ins x 5.5ins and is made using a white linen effect card (Papermill Direct)

I cut a smaller square of card for the centre and then laid strips of adhesive paper craft tape across it.
IMG_6402I then mat and layered the square on teal and then silver, although it’s hard to pick this out from the pictures.  I layered the silver Craftwork cards sentiment on just on the teal.

And then to give the card a little extra birthday bling I added a few silver stars.  I reckon the card took me about 20 minutes to make, but that included the “thinking” and working out time, repeats of the design wouldn’t take half as long.
The tape from B & M bargains only cost £1.99 for 13 x 3m rolls which really was a bargain.

    Wow! That tape definitely was a bargain! And your card is perfect! I love all the bright colors. I actually decorated the top of a gift box with Washi tape today. It was fun, and like you say, it didn't take any time at all.

Thank you for wanting to leave a comment. I HATE verification and apologise for the extra bother it causes, however, if I don't have it I get all sorts of dubious spam added and the comments would be bogged down utter ***p!

Occasionally I get comments on posts from several years ago, again, I have to apologise, copies of TEMPLATES etc. that I once offered are now NO LONGER AVAILABLE, when my last computer died, I lost everything and decided not to replace any them.
