5 Ways to use Washi Tape for Creating Halloween Cards




Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I love the colors, costumes, and handing out candy to the trick and treaters. I am so excited about Stampin’ Up! bring back washi tape. Glitter Washi Tape is found on page 57 (159973) in the July-December Mini Catalog. It’s been a while since we have had this product and I wanted to show you some different ways to create cards with this beautiful glittery washi tape.

1st card – The Punch

  • Take a small piece of 3x3 thick basic white card stock.


Add the glitter washi tape to the cardstock at an angle. I use my silicone craft pad to help me out


  • Once you finish taping your cardstock, cut off all the overhangs of washi

  • Put the cover basic white into the Witch Hat Builder Punch. (159856). Punch out the witch’s hat.

  • Assemble the card:
