I mostly use it when I want its semi-transparency. I have found that in addition to having coordinating patterns, it is also helpful to have different widths. Just my 2 cents.

I'm one of the few who doesn't have any washi tape and am hoping not to break down and buy any as I already have more ribbon and dp than I'll ever use and I don't need anything else to store!! So I look at your cards and think that, instead of using washi tape, they would be a brilliant way to use up some dp!!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07741064223875062517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-65706306870502564402014-01-03T10:34:32.913-05:002014-01-03T10:34:32.913-05:00I like what you did with the washi tape squares.

I pretty much just lay it down on a card. But recently I covered some cardstock and punched some bows out of it - really cute. I like your washi squares.

And once they'd finished the project I caught them plastering their favourite washi all over their smart phones! It looked great too!TiaraHelenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00448619418539423710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-22452669027735450752014-01-02T16:55:23.853-05:002014-01-02T16:55:23.853-05:00I might have an embarrassingly large collection of...I might have an embarrassingly large collection of washi tape.
