I decided to make handmade flat cards with some of my weekend Polaroids and Japanese masking tape I was dying to put to use. I played around using the colorful, patterned tape (love the gingham print) to attach a Polaroid to Italian deckled paper that I had on hand. I basically made a tape frame around the photo, covering all the white edges of the Polaroid with the masking tape. Then I stamped a word or phrase that related to the image as the card greeting. (I actually found that mini alphabet set of stamps at Barnes & Noble of all places!) The cards were so easy to make!
Here are my japanese masking tape meets Polaroid cards. I brought them with me to the Martha Stewart show this morning (which was super fun — and Martha was looking fantastic in a pair of skinny jeans.) I managed to work a stoplight into a greeting — that might be my favorite. Dan loves "meet me for coffee."
Did you see me on TV? My friend Ellen and I scored prime seats so it's possible the camera caught me. I'm waiting for Dan to get home to watch it on Tivo and play "where's Jen?"
