It's all about personal style. Torn ends suit certain types of cards, such as rustic, vintage, or collage-y. Beacause your style is ultra clean, it is natural that a clean edge would better suit your cards in most cases. I love your trimmed ends on the pink and green card.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03835448913758132227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-55726880234188554122014-06-13T11:25:32.712-04:002014-06-13T11:25:32.712-04:00I was determined to resist this fad but the colors...I was determined to resist this fad but the colors and patterns got me too.Super Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961314677178559261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-68096858185797766822014-06-13T10:49:49.549-04:002014-06-13T10:49:49.549-04:00I love Washi tape too!

Though i have used small bits to hold wafer thin dies in place while running through my BigShot. That was until I bought a magnetic platform now my Washi is back to being decoration😄<br />I like both torn and neatly trimmed ends depending on the "vibe" I am trying to create. I tear paper a lot for layers on my cards, but I know many people who just can't stand to tear "the pretty paper"...and who just don't like the look and find it sloppy. Different strokes....Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06846280229312949679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-51144932384676677302014-06-13T08:22:50.189-04:002014-06-13T08:22:50.189-04:00I definitely prefer the torn washi ends!

Here today, gone tomorrow, and I'd be hauling tubs of it to the thrift store. Now that I realize it's here to stay, there's so much I don't know where to begin! Anyway, Susan, your cards are both fun.

Here in the Netherlands the rolls are all over the place also. Even in shops where you buy plants and in de shop of the Zoo! I don't know if this is a good or a bad thing. It is nice to have lots of choice, but I'm an addict... so it is also a true horror! I do buy a lot of them, but refuse to pay €3,00 for one roll. So, I can say no to some washi, yay for me! But I allow myself to buy some, because I do use them. A lot. It is good to show that washi is so much fun to use on a card, and really easy. There are so many people who have a lot of it, but don't use it. It is a shame! Funny to read you prefer nice edges, I tear almost all my edges! I am looking forward to the result of alll your washicards!Miranda Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07846121387160943364noreply@blogger.com
