DIY Greeting card using Washi tapes

Hello folks, how are you all doing?

Well yeah, ‘Something Different’ has been away for a while, but here I am back again with super-simple greeting card tutorial.

You can make this card within no time. No colours, no brushes, no punches, no glue!! Only things we are gonna use are paper, scissor, pencil and a marker pen, and set of your favorite washi tapes.

(For those who do not know what washi tapes are : These are just like cello tapes with cute printed designs on them. You can find plenty of variety in any craft store.)

I have taken 17 cm x 21 cm white card paper. You can choose any size you wish. My washi tapes are 1.5 cm wide. So I have marked 4.5 cm line from one of the short edges of the paper, so that I can stick three pieces of washi tape vertically. (Check the blue washi tape portion in image below.)

You can make all sorts of colour combinations as well as the directions here. I have used four different washi tapes and pasted them in alternate horizontal and vertical directions.

Then fold the remaining white sheet in half such that left short edge matches with our 4.5 cm marked line.

Almost done! Just write your greetings/wishes or name of the person you wish to make card for, on the front side and some lovely message inside. And your greeting card is ready!! :)
