japanese Stickers Cat (20 pcs.)
These die-cut Washi Flake stickers by Furukawashiko feature cats in various playful poses – each design precisely cut out without borders, ready to use as individual shapes. The backing paper is scored down the middle, so the small stickers release effortlessly with a gentle bend of the paper. The Washi paper gives the designs a soft, subtly matte surface with an organic texture – quite different from the smooth finish of vinyl stickers.
Features
- Washi paper: This traditional Japanese paper gives the stickers a soft, slightly textured feel and a subtle, matte appearance. On journal pages, envelopes or gift wrap, the designs blend naturally into their surroundings without shine or dominance.
- Die-cut without borders: Each sticker follows the exact silhouette of the cat design – no surrounding white frame separates the image from the background. The motif sits directly on the surface it's applied to.
- Split backing paper: The backing is scored down the centre. A gentle bend releases the backing paper in two halves – precise removal even with small designs.
- 5 designs × 4 stickers: The set contains 20 stickers in five different cat poses, four of each design – enough repetition for consistent decoration across multiple pages or projects.
- Maximum size approx. 3 × 3 cm: Compact format ideal for subtle accents, page markers and envelope seals.
Use & Tips
- Journals & planners: Washi stickers adhere securely to smooth or lightly textured paper. The matte surface can then be written over with oil-based pens or pigment markers – perfect for labelling directly on the sticker.
- Envelope seals: The silhouette shape makes these stickers an elegant closure for folded letters or small envelopes – a replacement for a traditional seal.
- Gift wrapping: On kraft paper or matte packaging paper, the cat designs stand out beautifully through the contrast between the smooth sticker surface and the textured base.
- Card design: Because of their compact size, the stickers fit on business card dimensions, as decorative elements on greeting cards or as a signature detail on handmade gift tags.
- Collecting & trading: These small Washi Flake stickers are a classic collectible in Japan – the handy packaging format (75 × 80 mm) fits into any pencil case or trading folder.
For Washi Enthusiasts
Furukawashiko was founded in 1835 in Mino, Gifu Prefecture – one of Japan's historic centres of Washi papermaking. Mino Washi is renowned for its uniform structure and weight, and has been used for centuries in writing and decorative papers. These stickers honour that tradition: the material is completely opaque, holds its shape even after removal, and lies flat on surfaces thanks to its weight. If you're familiar with Washi tape, you'll recognise this feel – the stickers behave similarly, just as individual die-cut shapes.
