... and Stitched Washi Tape Christmas Cards

Hello! We have an extremely quick project for today - Washi tape Christmas cards with a "stitchy" twist!
 There's not too much to say about these - they're that simple. I paired up some co-ordinating Washi tape and cut pieces into strips (with angled edges) to form a triangle. Finished off with a piece for a tree trunk, then machine stitched all around the edge. You can try and be extremely neat about this but I think they look great a bit rough and scrappy (!!!)
 And why not try a completely different colour scheme?
I am going to do some traditional  green ones also - I have TONS of Washi tape to choose from!
Pretty simple hey?!

We are linking up to these parties!

    Such a beautiful and simple idea. Reminds me of designs from the 1950s. Linking up from Handmade Monday.

    These cards are darling! Love the stitching and the colour combinations. In fact, I love all things card related and can get quite giddy about such things over a www.ritewhileucan.com . You might enjoy it.

    Making your own Christmas cards - quite ambitious! I love the washi and stitching together. Thanks for linking up to Gingerly Made's Show & Tell.

    Love myself some washi tape, but I must say I'm terrified of stitching cards. Maybe I'll just have to try this out. We'd love for you to link up at our Awesome Things Tuesday link up party. http://jessicabooth.blogspot.com/2013/12/awesome-things-tuesday.html
