Time for some new Washi’s from Altenew, and the designs are better than ever! We are hopping along to celebrate and you should have arrived here from ZINIA’s wonderful blog.I have two cards and a video to share today, starting with a very clean and simple design.
It had been too long since I used the Summer Swirls set and for some reason the Rainbow Washi made me think of ice cream… and I did have to ‘double up’ the washi to get the background stripes in the pattern.
My sentiment is from the Layered Cupcake Stamp Set and I added a Fine Frame directly to the card front.
My second card uses the dramatic Tuxedo Washi Tape and I have a video showing you how the card came together.
I finally got the loooong coveted Floral Fantasy Dies and adore them as much as the stamp set. My sentiment is from the Signature Words Die set which you may have noticed has seriously been getting a workout here.
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at YouTube.

Supercool card!!!!!!
This may have been a simple card, but it is the most stunning with the Tuxedo Washi!
Beautiful cards Therese. The ice lolly is really great and I love the Floral Fantasy card too. It’s one of my favourite die sets. You just can’t go wrong. Love these new Washi tapes. They are going to be so versatile on many projects. TFS
Ice cream, AND flowers? You really know how to turn my head, Therese! These are so fun! xx
=]
What a great idea using Washi tape to make popsicle. ( think outside the box lol) and those embellishments on top is adorable!
What a great combination on the thanks card using black and bright colors.
Your colours are so fun! Great card
Awesome and elegant card Therese, love that Washi tape you used, it makes your vibrant flowers really pop.
Washi tape has come a long way indeed.

Maria Rodriguez.
What a fun way to use the Rainbow Washi! I absolutely love that Tuxedo Washi and your card is fabulous.
I love your popsicle… so cute! Both cards are great!
Those wide Washi tapes are fabulous.
These are so pretty! 🙂
Gosh, they are gorgeous washi tapes! And you’ve created some lovely cards with them. Thank you for the inspiration!
Yummy washi. Altenew hit another one out of the park.,
Beautiful projects! LOVE the new washi tapes.
Therese, what a great Popsicle card you made with the washi tape! You were totally thinking outside the icebox on that one!!! I also really like the way you used the tuxedo washi tape; and you made the flowers look like a boutonniere (at least that is what it reminds me of! Reminds me of prom and homecoming dances).
Thanks for sharing! Always fun to watch you in videos!
Love these cards – Altenew’s new washi tape is amazing!
Love it
Love these new washi tapes! Your cards are so beautiful!
The Washi tape in this release is gorgeous. And I have been on the fence about the floral 3d die, but you have completely sold me on it.
Beautiful cards!! The Tuxedo tape makes a stunning background for your second card!! TFS your video and showing how easy (and forgiving) it is to use the tape. Can’t wait to try some!
I’ll take one of those yummy popsicles, please 😉 Lovely cards.
Love these new washi tapes! Can’t wait to get them. I love your cards, the tuxedo washi tape makes that card so elegant looking. Thank you for sharing.
How sweet! Love the Summer Swirls Washi! Thanks for the video and inspiration Therese!
Love these new washi tapes! So versatile. Your cards are fabulous!
Thanks for sharing. They are lovely.
I was hoping someone would showcase the black and white. very classy!
So awesome, Therese
The tuxedo washi tape is so striking with the flowers. Thanks for such a beauty! I’ve already ordered some as a result of your inspiration!
I love how you played with your wide washi, Therese! Thanks for sharing your ideas…off to see your video 🙂
I love that popsicle card! Too cute!
Love all your cards. Those washi tapes are going to be lots of fun to use.
What fun cards! And your videos are so fun to watch. I love your laid-back style… thanks.
Such great cards. Thanks for sharing.
You’re talking me into spending money again! These tapes are so gorgeous and what a fast background!
I love listening to your videos as well as watching them and I also really like how you show that everything is not always easy. Great card by the way!
Cute popsicle card; then the second card is striking. I would never have thought of black as a background for flowers, but this totally works!
Love what you’ve done. So beautiful! Thanks for the inspiration.
lol Your first card is so cute!! And I love the tuxedo washi – what a great
background it makes. Gorgeous card.
Your cards are funny for the first one and very elegant for the second card ! And of course, it was a great pleasure to watch your video (and I got a few tips about things not to do – LOL !)
Wide washi tape? What a GREAT idea!!!! I really like the tuxedo tape too. And I’ve had my eye on the layering floral die for a while. So pretty and versatile AND no bulk added to a card! Thanks, Therese
A cute ice cream card and a dramatic flower card, love them both!
Love this card! I already have the Floral Fantasy dies, now I just need the Tuxedo washi tape!
Love your cards! Thanks for sharing. Love the new washing tapes. You’ve showcased great ways to use them
Your cards are fantastic! The florals make such a statement on the black washi. Stunning!
they do make incrediable washi patterns. Lovely cards, looking forward to watching the video.
Lovely card! The Tuxedo washi looks very versatile. I like that it can be used for masculine or feminine cards.
I wouldn’t have imagined what could be done with washi tape! Love the details.
Lovely cards…didn’t realize washi could be so versatile!
WOW…I’m stunned with what you did with that Washi – never would have dreamed it would make such a delightful card!!!! Great job and so creative Therese!!!
Paper Hugs,
Jan
the ice cream card is darling and the floral fantasy card so classy and elegant – wonderful cards, Therese!
This is the first time I’ve entered a comment, but I must tell you how much I admire Therese’s brilliant blossoms against the tuxedo washi. The bright reds, the black background, the fine white accent lines…everything balances perfectly. I must try it!
Making a ice cream pop from the stripe washi is brilliant. I love how it turned out. Great tuxedo card too.
Such great ideas! I love the ice cream bar.
Love how wide these tapes are, makes them way more versatile!
I love how easy it is to work with the wide washi tapes. Striking card.
Love your ice cream card. What an interesting take on the new washintape!
I’m so glad you used that washi background–I was dying to see it in action. It’s stunning, as is your card.
The popsicle card is so cute nicely done
Super cute – both cards and you are right; NEVER would have guessed the Tuxedo was washi tape; just love that card!
You crack me up! And you make gorgeous cards. Using wide washi tape is so fast and so effective. I love it. The black and white card is dramatic and so pretty. Love your designs!
Gosh, those bold blooms are so dramatic against the tuxedo washi, Therese … so eyecatching and striking! Love the striped ice cream with the fun sprinkles … fresh, clean and so yummy … save one for me! Hugs, Anita 🙂
Two great cards, and another fun video, Therese! I really do enjoy your videos and watch them whenever I can. LOVE that wide washi tape. The possibilities are endless…. Such a sweet ‘friend’ card… Literally!! Have a lovely weekend. : )
Such a grandiose look to your creation using the Tuxedo for background, and the lovely floral foreground.
love the new washi tapes, they make such great backgrounds for cards..
That was pretty cool!! Made me hungry for some ice cream!!
AHHHH I love the ice cream one so much! LOVE WASHI TAPE 🙂
Such great cards! Love the icecream bar and the black washi looks great as a background.
Lovely cards! Aren’t the washi tapes just gorgeous? I want one of each 🙂
love your cards- the ice cream one is so clever and creative! These washi tapes are totally rocking it!!
sweet cards – very creative:)
The ice cream card looks good enough eat!
Love your cards as usual, especially the Tuxedo one. Your videos are so entertaining and you make card making so possible for everyone!
love your style
Loved both cards! That tuxedo washi looks fantastic on your card!
Loved your video and the use of the Tuxido Washi tape. Looks easy and that is what I need is easy.
Great cards. Love the Washi.
I so want to see the pixilated pink washi tape in use! The tuxedo really appeals to me too. Love the icecream.
What a yummy looking icecream! Great use of the wide washi too – makes the bright flowers pop.
These tapes are so delicious, just like your ice cream treat!! I am in love with the tuxedo too. Lots of thoughts for using the wonderful tapes.
I love your cards and the new washi tapes. They are awesome!
This is an awesome release, love your cards.
I laugh with you on every video you make……apparently we have the same sense of humour (silliness). But seriously, who would’ve thought you could do this with washi tape? Beautiful!
The card with rainbow stripes is just ‘too sweet’. Love the sprinkles.
Beautiful cards! Love it!
Brilliant, Therese!
Beautiful cards! Thank you for sharing!
Love your floral fantasy card!
Fabulous cards! Love that fun popsicle, and the layered flowers are beautiful against the Tuxedo washi background!
Gorgeous cards as always Therese! Watching you with the Tuxedo Washi Tape made me think of covering school books in contact! lol Although the Washi seems to be MUCH more forgiving.
Alternew continues to keep lifting the bar with their new products. I am still waiting for my Christmas Stamps order ( it is in Sydney! ) and now I have to have these washi tapes. I have so many ideas swirling around in my head.
Keep up the great work xx
Love the new Altenew washi tape. Can make a quick card.
These different patterns would be helpful when you don’t have time to a full out background….and they are all great!
Just love seeing all of the great, unique ways to use the washi! Your cards are beautiful and inspiring!
Oh, these are awesome! Loving the washi tapes!
Loved the Popsicle!
I love your ideas. The vibrant flowers against the black background washi is very striking!
Beautiful card
Yum, love the ice cream you made with the Washi tape. Made me smile.
Was sucked in by mirth, method and a wee dram of madness…..now a win would be miraculous….lol
Oh wow! I love your cards!! And that washi tape is so fun!
Love the way you used the washi tapes. Beautiful!
What a time saver! Why hasn’t someone made washi this wide before?
Hi Therese, I just love watching you. This one with the washi tape, wow. There is so many things you can do with it. I would love to win. Thanks for the chance!!
Lovely cards!! 🙂 I love this washitape release! 🙂
Your cards are lovely!
I can think of lots of uses for that tuxedo washi. So cool!
Beautiful cards. The one using the Tuxedo washi tape is striking.
Hi Therese. You always create such unusual cards! Love your two using this new FABULOUS washi tape release by Altenew. Foaming at the mouth to get these!!!! I always love watching you create and hearing an Aussie accent. Am crazy about these washi tapes!!!! I was wondering, as you are an Aussie and make cards using rectangular frames, which brand do you find that fits our Aussie card dimensions. I have a few sets and the largest one is always just a little too wide for our card bases and the next size down is just that little bit too small. Probably wide enough but too short. Can you recommend a set for me please? I know I can cut down my top layer and adapt, but sometimes I really want the frame to cover the whole card except for a tiny border. If you don’t have time, I really understand. You’re such a busy girl. Please keep making tutorials because I enjoy you. Thanks so much. Bev from Sydney. XX
Hi Bev, I have always created my own card bases from A4 (Australian size) for years and if I did want to make a US size card I would just cut one sheet to fit. I have found the ‘pre made’ card bases tend to be flimsy and restrictive but I know people that will only use these, it all comes down to personal choice. Now that I can buy Neenah 80lb / 110lb in Australia I am tending to use the US size cardstock especially if I want to add a cover plate die etc. There is an Australian company ‘Paper Rose’ that have created Australian (and I think she makes US sizes too so be sure to double check) rectangle sized die cuts for our sized cards and her dies are very high quality. Her company is based in Handorf SA and is called Paper Roses. She often travels to the craft shows so if you attend them you may have seen her there. I think I have seen her products sold at Scrapbook Boutique and maybe Craft Online but Here is the link to her shop just in case https://paperrose.com.au/ I am not sure what size the Kaisercraft dies are, but they would also be worth a look as they are an Australian company too.. Hope this is helpful, Crafty hugs, Therese
Great way of using the washing. The first card is really sweet one. There is always so much to learn from your videos
You and Altenew are a perfect combination–classy, understated and deceptively simple.
Wonderful cards! The first one with the Ice Cream on a stick using the Rainbow Washi tape is just so precious! I really love the little cute little colored balls all over it too!
Hi Therese, I love the look of the washi tape some great colour and designs on them, and your card is lovely, TFS, Cheers Anna.
Love the ice cream 🙂
Thanks for showing how to fix those pesky little mistakes that always make me want to throw cards away!
Very beautiful cards. Love the new washi tapes. They are so gorgeous!
Love the new wide washi tape. Such a pretty flower card.
I love the popsicle card. Great idea
Such creative use of the washi tapes, love that ice cream :-))
Love the black & white card with the flower (& your video).
So pretty. Love how you used the tapes.
So simple, but so beautiful. The tape is neat. Love using it as a background.
I am so excited about the new Washi Tapes, wonderful release! Your Ice cream card is adorable and your Floral Fantasy/Tuxedo Washi card is elegant and gorgeous. Thank you for sharing and the inspiration.
Might have known you’d do something out-of-the-ordinary with these – love the ice-cream pop!
The ice cream card is so darn cute!
Your first card is cute, but I am completely enamoured with the second one. Bold, intense colours with the arrangement of the flowers to off set the black background. Just beautiful!
Cute Popsicle! The second card is a WOW! Wonderful contrast with bright flowers and black background.
Those are some fabulous wasi tapes. Headed to my craft room to use some of an earlier release washi tape on a card. Can’t wait. Thanks Therese for the motivation.
Beautiful cards, that black one is amazing…
GJ, TFS 🙂
These washi tapes are all so amazing. The gold touch on some of them make them elegantly beautiful. These Altenew washi tapes are really unique and I love the way they have been showcased in all your wonderful cards
Love the cards, love the washis, and I subscribed to your channel, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for showing a new way to use my washing tape.
I LOVE the cards! I’ve been trying for some time to find the large washi tape and am SO HAPPY Altenew has them! Thank you!
Fantastic cards. Thanks for sharing your techniques on using the washi tapes!
Cute use of the washi tape to create the popsicle and I love that dark back tape with the gorgeous floral die cuts!
Such great cards! Love the ice cream treat you created with washi….who knew it was so versitile.
Love these new washi tapes! Great cards.
cute popsicle and I love the elegant feel the black and white gives to your colorful flowers!
Both of your cards are lovely. I must say…I’m especially fond of what you’ve done with the Tuxedo Washi tape! Wow! Those bright, beautiful flowers against that black background! So, so pretty.
Cute and pretty cards.
I LOVE your ice cream idea!!! So beautiful, unique and…yummy! 😀These new washi tapes are amazing! They are so versatile and with gorgeous designs! ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ’–💖💖
Love them all but especially the floral and ombre ones!
I love how you created ice cream out of washi tape. The card turned out so cute. The tuxedo washi tape made a gorgeous background for your beautiful flowers. Thanks for sharing your time and talent with us.
There is hope for me using the wide washi tape – I laughed as you had to lift and relay the tape on your video, maybe I can conquer it too. Wonderful wonderful card. The ice cream card – who would have thought of that? Very clever. TFS
I love your cards. You are always so creative.
I really love your ice cream cards – so pretty and inventive!
🙂 that ice-cream card made me smile – I’m actually craving one right now – haha. Both cards are beautiful Therese
Very pretty cards. The video was super helpful.
Beautiful card Therese. Thanks for the video (and keeping in the struggles we all have in creating). There are no mistakes in crafting, just opportunities to embellish. You do it so well! thank you for sharing.
I love your card made with the tuxedo washi tape. Adding the flowers just took it over the top!
The ice cream card is so adorable! Thanks for the inspiration.
WHOA! That ice cream card is simply genius! LOVE LOVE LOVE it as much as I love this whole washi release!
Lovely cards! Love this new washi release!
I really love the new washi tapes and must add some to my collection! I love your card, very
elegant.
Who knew you could do such things with washi! Thank you for the inspiration!
Your ice cream bar looks delicious, Therese, & I love the frame around it. The flowers against that wonderful background are fabulous! Love the bright colors. I would say the first one is my fave but maybe because I love ice cream!!
Beautiful cards Therese. I did look at getting that die set but changed my mind – I already have a layered rose set that I got free with a magazine (it is an Altenew one!!) Great idea for using washi tape. I will have to find a supplier here in Australia…do you know of anywhere that stocks them please? Hugs Ali xx
Hi Alison, I haven’t seen the new release washi in Australia yet but I did find some of the previous release with the ‘wide’ size here https://atcraft.com.au/?s=altenew+washi&post_type=product so I would hope that they might get the new one in soon (fingers crossed). Hugs Therese
Great cards, absolutely love the Tuxedo washi tape
What an appetizing ice cream looks like! .. Thanks for the inspiration!
Love the tuxedo washi. Great cards. The popsicle is the best.
Hi Therese, AWESOME post, I adore the first card, it was cool to see something different I loved that, I have followed your blog for a long time so I knew to expect something amazing from you and you delivered as always!!!

Super sweet and beautiful cards! Love the you doubled the washi tape to get the stripe effect you wanted.
Cute and elegant in one post. You can’t beat that! That tuxedo washi is perfect with the floral fantasy flowers. I might just need the washi tape since I have the die, which I love. 🙂

Greetings from Germany Elizabeth
Love your cards!
The way the 3D flowers pop off the tuxedo washi background is stunning….it looks amazing!! The Popsicle….so CUTE!
You put a smile 9n my face with this ice cream. Amazing and fun. Love your style.
Wonderful cards. I really didn’t appreciate the Tuxedo Washi until I saw your beautiful card. I can see so many possibilities with it.
These are fabulous. Like many others, I didn’t really see the possibilities of the Tuxedo washi until I saw your video. Also, I really like how you used the translucent nature of the washi to make your ice cream double-striped. That’s really beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing your creativity with us!
Altenew has done it again! Another stunning release in the books!
Love your card.
I love that die! And the topping pops are so cute as sprinkles
These are beautiful cards! I really love how the flowers look against the tuxedo washi tape background. 🙂
I love how you layered the rainbow washi to create softer stripes for the popsicle, and those bold flowers really pop against that black-and-white background in the second card… Thank you for the inspiration! 🙂
I love that ice cream card. Very cleaver. TFS
Loving your cards! That ice cream looks yummy!
