Create a Handmade Card with a matching Decorated Envelope that your partner can use (don't write in it)! The only catch, YOU MUST USE WASHI TAPE! The color and design are Sender's Choice, but it is always nice to check out a profile so you aren't sending something your partner will dislike.

Please, rate promptly and fairly. If you receive a Handmade Card with a matching Decorated Envelope using Washi Tape in some way you must rate a 5. I will angel if needed, after you have attempted to contact your partner and rated a 1. If you flake, you will be forever banned from any of my swaps! Please don't do that to me!!!

Please note, this is USA only! There is an international swap!

Hi! I'm considering this swap, but I'm new to the washi world....so I have a question. Is washi just the name of the tape or is it a brand? I looked at my local craft store and found this kind of tape, but the word washi was nowhere to be found. I've also seen people comment not to use the "cheap stuff" for washi swaps, and now I'm afraid I'll buy the cheapo and not the right thing. I don't want to send the wrong the kind along! Thanks for the help!

Ok, nevermind. I'm just going to order off Etsy, and hopefully it will get here in time. There's way better stuff there anyway!

JennyLoo, don't worry so much. I get some of mine from Hobby Lobby and even some from WalMart. It's not all called washi tape. You'll do fine!

I'm sorry that I didn't comment in a timely manner! Washi tape is a type of tape. A paper tape, specifically. Recollections (at Michael's craft store) and The Paper Studio (at Hobby Lobby) are two brands I buy frequently because they are easy to find and not too expensive. Scotch makes a Washi tape as well, but theirs is a bit more "slick" than "papery" You will find some AWESOME washi tapes on Etsy, but they will be a bit more expensive. Just be cautious of the Dollar Store tapes. They typically are VERY poor quality. And those are the "cheap stuff" most people are talking about.

Once again, I'm so sorry for not responding in a timely manner. If you need ANYTHING please PM me and I'll respond much more quickly!
