Club Scrap technique of the month April

Every month there is a challenge on the Club Scrap blog

with a technique of the month.

One of the members of the Artist Team will pick a technique

and make sample cards for that technique.

You can try this technique and add your card/ project to the 

link at the Club Scrap blog HERE.

This month it is my turn and I have chosen 

The Carpet Tape Chronicles

as the technique of the month April.

There are several video's in the Club Scrap archive

and different techniques one can do with carpet tape.

This started with the first technique called the herringbone 

technique and the video about this technique is here:

There are more ideas with carpet tape,you can als see them 

on the Club Scrap Blog

but here on my own blog I will share some more ideas.

Today I show you alsohow you can do the

herringbone technique in another way,if you just don't

happen to have carpet tape at hand,but you do have 

washi tape! in the 50s collection there was a yellow roll

of washi tape and with some of my own stash I made

the same herringbone technique with the tape:

Use the tape exactly as you would do

with the paper strips.

You don't have to cut them of,you can 

easity tape them to the back,just at the

corners you have to give them a little cut.

What makes your card extra interesting is using 

an embossing folder. Now I found this fun 

kitchen embossing folder matching the 50s Kitchen

theme from last month.

You can deboss the background and leave as

it came out after running it through your embossing machine.

Or you can emboss and use some ink

on the raised emboss part to make them extra visable.

Her is the finished card with a fun little

charm frommy stash and one of the

cut apart sentiments fromthe kit.

For this card I used the digital 50s Kitchen to

print the sentiment.I did not want to cover

alot of the background, for it looked so nice.

Hope you wll be inspired this month to link your

card or other project to the linky party on the 

Club Scrap Blog.I will have some other posts

sharing more ideas with the Carpet Tape Chronicles.

Hope you come back and have another look.

Have a creative day!
