Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I'm skidding in at the last minute for the Jingle Belles Challenge.
Steph and Lauren are asking for inchies or twinchies on a Christmas card.
I found one last strip of Alexandra Renke Washi tape mounted on a piece of cardstock in
my Christmas UFO box. I punched 1 inch circles from some of the designs,
punched 1 1/4 inch circles from red cardstock, 1 3/8 inch circles from Champagne Foil
and layered them up.
I added a sparkly snowflake behind the middle inchie and put it all on a piece of
cardstock embossed with holiday words.
As a twofer....
I was able to punch 3 more inchies from the rest of the tape and
made them into a birthday card for one of the guys.
I'd better stop and get the Christmas card in before the challenge closes.
I'll stop in at Rudolph Days too.
Challenges:
Jingle Belles - Inchies
Rudolph Days - ATG Christmas
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteAt first look, I thought to myself, now how could Bonnie paint all those little images...then I read about the washi tape, What a clever way to use that Bonnie, I love that idea and I love how you mad them with inchies. The design is awesome and especially the masculine birthday card! Well done in skidding under the wire with these! Heart Hugs, Col
ReplyDeleteWow, you sure know how to skid in at the last minute with two wowser cards! LOVE those little images....just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI knew I recognized Alexandra ... what a fabulous way to feature those lovely little designs ... so very glad you went SMALL with us at Jingle Belles.
ReplyDeleteawesome use of the washi tape which by the way is gorgeous :)
ReplyDeleteTwo lovely cards Bonnie and I Love the design

Such pretty washi tape Bonnie and a very clever way to use the last pieces up and you have made two terrific cards. I love the dry embossed seasonal background and the silver glitter snowflake behind the central circle on the first, and the masculine birthday card looks great too. x
ReplyDeleteSuck pretty cards and such a clever idea with the last of the AR washi tape.
ReplyDeleteI still have those strips of washi you were kind enough to send me, Bonnie! You've used it just beautifully again today!
ReplyDelete=]
Two great looking cards. That EF on the first card is a great eye catcher plus the snowflake adds a nice touch. And the layering of the circles gives a finished look. Guy cards for me are always a challenge but you sure came up with a good one...the colors and the Pinewood Planks EF really work.
ReplyDeleteFun design and very attractive. Red and white have always caught my eye - one of my favorite combinations especially at Christmas.

What a creative way to use inchies! I’d have never thought to cut washi tape but it worked out great! Love this idea, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteThis is a brilliant way to wring the last goodness out of that wonderful washi Bonnie! Two gorgeous cards! Vicky x
ReplyDeletewow! what a truly awesome INCHIE-centric card! (& holy moly i'm totally nabbing that washi tape INCHIE/rinchie trick!!!) so pleased you could join our merry *little* xmas fun at JINGLE BELLES!
ReplyDeleteAn excellent card, Bonnie.
ReplyDeleteLove the inchies and your designs. Super cards.

Two lovely cards. At first I thought you had stamped those images but read it was Washi tape. Very creative and a great way to use the Washi Tape. TFS
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to punch small circles out of that beautiful washi tape! Love the way you layered them up, especially on the first card with a snowflake layered behind the middle one, and then used the embossing folder to create the sentiment.
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun and clever way to use your beautiful washi tape, Bonnie. TFS Love and Hugs...Nancy
ReplyDeleteI wouldn’t have thought of using washi tape that way. Beautiful cards.
ReplyDeleteFabulous card ...Bonnie ...
ReplyDeleteHugs Sylvie xx
What incredible use of the washi tape Bonnie, and striking cards, both of them
ReplyDeleteStay safe

What a great use of washi tape Bonnie, these cards are so beautiful! I am so loving the washi you used, never have seen such beautiful washi. The Christmas card with the embossing and inchies is so pretty. Love how you put the snowflake behind the bird image. The guy card, well I am loving that one a lot too! Perfect for a masculine birthday card. I love the simplicity of the background embossing or at least it looks like it has a subtle embossing. Just perfect for that guy in your life! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteI am so far behind on commenting Bonnie, but couldn't let this post go by without commenting...both cards are FABULOUS!! I love that washi tape you used and still have quite a full roll of it myself, so if you ever need more, just holler! I love how you made the inchies into circles rather than squares on both cards, and your backgrounds are awesome too! Lovely, lovely cards my friend! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful way to use the pretty washi tape and what fabulous cards, both of them Bonnie x.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, love the results xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful way to use the beautiful AR washi tape, Bonnie! The circle inchies are so pretty against the white embossed background!
ReplyDeleteThe color combo of the second card has an organic feel to it.

Such beautiful washi tape. I love how you've used your inchie circles to frame these little pieces of art. Great design with your Christmas card. The snowflake behind the center circle really brings the eye. And great texture with the embossing folder background.
ReplyDeleteAnd goes to show that you can use Christmas washi tape for a different type of card. This makes a great masculine card. Love it! xx
Wonderful design with your pretty washi! Love the layers, the red making things pop for Christmas and definitely masculine on the second card. Great makes, Bonnie
ReplyDeleteAdorable cards. Love the embossed background. Great use of the beautiful washi tape.
ReplyDeleteTwo gorgeous cards, Bonnie! Great use of the beautiful Washi tape for a holiday card and a masculine one. I especially like the white embossed background - a subtle effect. Thank you so much for playing along with the first 2021 Rudolph Days Challenge.
ReplyDeleteLinda DT
Absolutely fantastic! I love how you added the snowflake in the first card. Such pretty washi tape!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards, Bonnie! I'm loving your embossed background on the first one and your clever use of Washi tape...WOW! xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to use the washi tape as the focal point of your circles. That is really pretty washi tape!
ReplyDeleteLove the embossed background, setting the scene for these pretty twinchies.
Thanks for taking part in the first Rudolph Days Challenge of this year.
Wow, that's some gorgeous washi tape, Bonnie. Love the dreamy quality to the images. You were smart to highlight each image by doing the inchie method. :-D
ReplyDeleteWow Washi Wonder. These are sensational, and very classy. Great head start on the Holiday theme and masculine birthday day. xx
ReplyDeleteThis card is breathtaking, Bonnie. She is amazing, I love how you made these beautiful circles with AR washi tape. So little has done so much. I love this card Bonnie !!
ReplyDeleteThe birthday card is also beautiful, but I give priority to the first card.
