Inchie Birds for CAS Mix Up

Hello crafty friends.  It's time for a new challenge at


Our sweet and very talented Joanna is our host this month.
I Used Inchies, Stamping, Washi Tape, Punches and Die Cutting

The bird art is from Alexandra Renke Washi tape.

I pressed a strip onto a snippet of white cardstock and punched
with my 1" square punch.

The bird pieces were mounted on punched 1 1/4" squares and
affixed to the card front.

Some die cut leaves add a bit of texture.

This was quick and easy.

I love this Washi Tape!

Our Design Team and Guest Designer Stephanie have
some wonderful inspiration for you.
I hope you'll check us out and join in at

Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

I'm so impressed that you used Washi Tape for your lovely bird images and I love the creative ways you added the leaves! Such a beautiful card, Bonnie! xx

Carole said...

What pretty washi tape...nothing like that in the UK that I have seen and a clever way of using it Bonnie. I love how you have enhanced your card with the die too. Great design.

Susan said...

Bonnie, I LOVE this card - such adorable bird images (must be gorgeous washi tape!) and so well used as your inchies. Perfect pairing with that embossing folder!

Susan said...

Sorry - I should have said "perfect pairing with those die cut leaves" - at first I thought it was a leaf embossing folder that I have.

Pat said...

I think this washi tape is absolutely beautiful Bonnie and I love the way you have used it for your three panels backed with that lovely soft grey colour card and the white with the die cut leaves adhered to it looks so pretty and a great sentiment too. x

Jo said...

I couldn't wait to see how you made this exquisite card. A brilliant way to use awesome washi tape. I love how you displayed the softness of these beautiful birds. They are the center piece with this perfect design. Totally elegant. xxx

Wow, I never thought of using washi tape for inchies. Thank you for your inspiration, Bonnie! The gray matte and the white-on-white leaf die-cuts in the background are so classy and perfect to highlight those beautiful birds!
