Today I wanted to share a fun way to really extend your washi tape (or other similar embellishments)...I'm going to make three cards from a single piece of washi covered paper!
To start off with I cut a sheet of 4x5.25" cardstock and began covering it with various washi tapes.
I trimmed off the excess and lightly sanded the edges.
(the sanding is so I can ink the edges easier later on.)

I then die-cut the paper into 3 different pieces...
I cut a large wavy piece leaving a nice frame and then cut gears from the center of the wavy piece.
Each of the elements went onto a separate Steampunk themed card....
Here is the frame....
And the wavy piece...
And finally the gears....
