Washi Tape Cards

Updated on June 5, 2024

Washi Tape Cards. Learn how to make handmade cards with washi tape and a few simple supplies. A stack of these makes a great gift!

I always look for quick yet personal gift ideas for friends and family. I love to create handmade cards to send out. These cards I am using for myself, but they would make a fantastic, easy, inexpensive gift.

How to Make Washi Tape Cards

You need a few simple supplies to create washi tape cards, many of which you probably already have on hand.

Supplies:

• Blank Cards and Envelopes
• Washi Tape
• Stamps and Ink
• Baker’s Twine
• Corner Punch
• Scrap Cardstock

You may also need scissors, dimensional foam tape, scrapbook adhesive, stapler, and pens.

I will give brief instructions on how to make five different card designs. Each one takes less than 5 minutes to make! 

Round Card Corners

Before we start decorating the cards, use your corner punch to round the bottom edges of each card.

Criss Cross Washi Tape Card

Start by using three coordinating strips of washi tape.

I tore the washi tape, but you can use scissors for a more finished edge. Attach three vertical strips to your card base, spacing them a little apart.

Now, use three smaller strips and attach them horizontally.

Stamp a design onto card stock. I chose to use black ink on white card stock because it contrasts well with the kraft paper cards and colorful washi.

Cut out around the edge of your design.

Use a small piece of dimensional foam tape and attach it to your card either in the center or slightly offset from where the washi tape crosses.

Stamp a sentiment directly on the bottom right corner of the card.

Rainbow Stripes Washi Card

Choose an assortment of washi tapes in rainbow colors. I chose red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and pink.

Rip off strips of washi tape a little smaller than the width of your card. Attach them to your card in a rainbow pattern, with each strip touching the previous tape.

Again, stamp an image onto card stock, cut around it, and attach it with dimensional tape.

Rainbow Washi Banner Card

Again choose a rainbow of colors of washi tape. 

Cut strips of washi tape. Cut a ‘v-shape’ from the bottom of each strip of washi tape.

Place the washi tape on your card along the folded edge. The ends will hang over at the top.

Trim the excess washi tape from the top with your scissors. Stamp a sentiment in the bottom right corner.

Thank You, Washi Tape Card

Trim a piece of card stock to fit on your card. Again, I used white card stock.

Punch the edges with a corner punch. Attach to the card with adhesive.

Attach coordinating strips of washi tape around the perimeter of your card stock.

Isn’t that bird tape fun?

Stamp a sentiment on card stock and trim around the edges to create a square. Corner punch the edges.

Use dimensional foam tape to attach to the card. 

Note: I started with the colored stamped paper off to the side but moved it to the center.

Pennant Banner Washi Tape Card

Create a washi tape pennant banner using your baker’s twine. 

Staple each end of the string to the card. I hand-wrote the word ‘hi’ onto the card. 

Be sure to include the envelopes when giving these cards as a gift. Stack the envelopes and cards and secure them with additional baker’s twine.

This would make a great teacher appreciation gift or neighbor gift.

Do you like to hand-make cards for yourself or give them as gifts?
