3D Embossing with Washi Tape

[@barbaradunlop6444]

It's 2024, your demonstration was excellent. You gave me ideas and the inspiration to use my beautiful washi tape from Altenew. I'm a retired teacher, older than you. You remind of a person who was an educator at some time. Congratulations on such a good job.

[@cindytartt4048]

2 years later & I’ve found your video & am enjoying your meticulous & well paced explanations & indeed exploration, of this addictive craft. I never thought of using washi in an embossing folder. Many thanks, ❤ Brisbane. 🇦🇺

[@theresehudran7635]

Hello Sandra, I'm 70 years also and at times I do a little shaking. Comes with the territory. I can't thank you enough for you doing videos. Great ideas, and you just seem like a fun loving person. Can' wait to watch more and thank Altenew for you being on their design team.

[@sandespoema]

Oh thank you so much Therese! I'm sorry I haven't answered you before this. I've been away from KZbin for a while due to some medical issues. But I'll be back soon! In the meantime, I'd love for you to join my Facebook Cardmaking Community! I'm on there every day with info, tips, inspiration, and answering questions. We have a fun time together!

Great work! Thank you for your inspiration. It makes me want to create with washi tape now! And, I think you're amazing to be having this type of a KZbin Channel when you're 70!

Awesome Tobi! I hope this technique will help you create some beautiful cards! If you are on FB, I'd love you to join my community there and post your creations (that way I can see them!). You can find us at: facebook.com/groups/sandespoema

[@kayfurnish8715]

Ha! I not only remember the wallpaper rollers, I use one daily in my craft room to smooth out my folds on my card bases! My bone folder always left shiny marks that I hated, so over 35 years ago I started using my wallpaper roller to flatten my scored folds. What a difference! No shiny spots AND the folds are so much cleaner and nicer!! Love the new technique for putting the larger washi tape on cardstock then embossing with a folder. I have a lot of larger washi tape rolls that are left over from other projects. Thanks for a way to use them now!

[@sandespoema]

Awesome! Thanks so much for watching my tutorial and for taking the time to comment, Kay. ❤️

I have a Teflon bone folder and that doesn’t leave lines! So worth the extra cost!

[@kayfurnish8715]

@@marylynnkingry8353 I also have a Teflon bone folder but the angle & pressure required is a bit harder on my wrist, but the wallpaper seam roller doesn't bother my arthritis at all. We do use whatever we can find that works, right? LOL

Your video showed up in my KZbin newsfeed and I am so glad! I was a daycare director for 25 years and retired in October 2020. I think looking back, I had a emotional breakdown when I was done 😢.

This morning I watched the washing tape cards which you said was your second video. I gave you a like and I subscribed! I'm getting close to 70 as well (68). its great to see our age with a KZbin channel. Thank you Altenew. My mom was an interior designer so I would go with her to the wallpaper stores and spent a lot of time going through books and books of wallpaper! So of course I had wallpaper in ny kitchen. Thanks for sharing this great washing tape cards. Im pulling out my washing today and definitely going to try this! Thanks again Sandy! And I have always thought age is only a number. We are only as old as we chose to be. Remember 60s are the 50s, 70s are the 60s. People are living longer. So you go girl!🥰 love and hugs!

[@lindakilmer2548]

I was listening to your opening remarks and when you explained that you did a class. You described that it was long and unedited. It made me think that it’s a “director’s cut” video!! 😂

[@sandespoema]

LOL - exactly! I'm so sorry that I haven't responded to you before this, Linda. I'm afraid that I've had some health challenges over the past several months that have me being WAY behind! Many blessings to you ~
