Greet the Season with Watercolor Woodland Wide Washi Tape and Dashing 6×6 Prints by Jean Okimoto

November 7, 2019September 25, 2025

Christmas will be here in 7 weeks – let’s make some quick cards with the Watercolor Woodland Wide Washi Tape. The beautiful pattern repeats about every 14 inches and each section yields 3 or 4 sections that are perfect for this design. You can make a lot of cards with each 4-½” x 11 yard roll!

Hi, Jean Okimoto here, combining some classic holiday elements with a simple, contemporary greeting. Here’s a preview of what we’ll be using:

Attach Watercolor Woodland tape to white cardstock and cut circles with the 3-¼” Stitched Circle Layers die.

Cut a ¾” x 3-¾” strip of the dark green Dashing Stripes and Dots print. Cut a ¾” x 3-¼” strip of the red plaid Dashing Holiday print.

Cut a matching label from the Dashing Holiday 6×6 set – then trim the corners with a corner rounder.

Cut “NOEL” from silver glitter paper with the Mini Vintage Varsity Alphabet set.

Cut, score and side-fold a white A-2 card. Attach red duct tape to a scrap of lightweight cardstock and punch ¼” accent dots. Assemble the card – use foam dots for the greeting label.

Another tip before you leave…here’s an easy way to preview background colors for these beautiful translucent wide washis. It’s not on today’s card, but I’m just using the Twas the Night Wide Washi Tape here as an example.

Create a large swatch by attaching a generous section of tape to a clear material… use scraps of acetate, or recycle empty Memory Box poly bags. You have a few, right? Slide strips of cardstock behind it to preview the colors – without wasting any of that beautiful tape or having it accidentally stick to your cardstock. Not exactly rocket-science, but it saves a lot of time and cardstock.

I have swatches of my Poppystamps and Birch Press Designs wide washis too. The polybags are pre-punched for hanging displays – so just use a binder ring or shower curtain ring to keep all of the swatches together and organized.

Thanks for visiting…keep warm and enjoy the fall colors. If you’re in the Seattle area and have a long weekend, join us for the MERRY + QUICK cards class at Impress on Veterans Day. We’re making quick-and-easy cards that don’t look quick and easy!
