Ocean Themed Washi Tape Swatches and My Hobbies

This video is sped up footage of me making washi-tape banners with Notebook Therapy’s Tsuki Ocean Edition Washi Set. In it I describe the tapes in detail as well as discuss what my hobbies are.

I bought these tapes at the end of Summer 2021. I love cetaceans so much that I had to do something special to showcase all of these beautiful washi-tapes. I penciled in some banners and then used a ceramic knife to cut the triangle shapes of the ribbon and banners. I used a fine point pen to outline all of the stickers and banners in black.

Here’s a list and a brief description of the tapes and stickers featured in this spread.

  • Black Gold Orca: features gold stars and moons with a shooting star/sun on a black background. There is an orca breaching in the waves and both are outlined in gold foil.

  • Roll of Stamp Stickers: A crescent moon is in a a dark blue sky, with light blue and gold foil waves are underneath. The second sticker features a dolphin breaching in the moonlight. The ocean is navy blue and the sky is dark blue with gold stars.

  • Water Color Sky Circles: Each circle is various shades of blue with some hints of pink and purple.

  • Thin Blue Ombre: Gold stars, crescent moons, bubbles, and Japanese Hiragana on an ombre teal-blue background

  • Royal Gold Sky Waves: Gold crescent moon and stars on white and light blue clouds with a royal blue background

  • Checked Blues and Gold: My favorite in this set! This checked washi-tape has striped, dotted, and solid squares in white, gold, navy, light blue, teal and light teal.

  • White Gold Dolphin Waves: A teal dolphin is breaching over teal ombre waves. Waves and dolphin are outlined in gold on a white background.

  • Space Cetaceans: Teal dolphin, sperm whale, and spheres with gold accents on a white background with gold stars

  • Humpback Landscape: A teal blue humpback whale with gold accents is breaching with ombre teal-gray clouds and mountain with star outlines on a white background

  • Wide Golden Waves: Although I ran out of time to describe this one in the video, I’ll be describing it here. This wide washi-tape has gold outlined waves on a white background with a light blue water color and gold stars.

  • Maisie Lane Co. Black Night Butterfly: White line drawn crescent moons, stars, butterflies, hands and herbs on a black background
