Love My Tapes + Authentique Paper = AMAZING!

LOVE MY TAPES & AUTHENTIQUE PROJECT INSPIRATION
FALL BLOG HOP

Love My Tapes and Authentique Paper are getting crafty over the next couple of days to bring you tons of inspiration using Love My Tapes and Authentique Paper!

To get you into the holiday spirit, we will be sharing projects from the LMT DT on the Love My Tapes blog, and the Love My Tapes Design Team will be sharing additional projects with you on their blogs with a Fall Blog Hop. 

Be sure and stop back every day this week for more Love My Tapes/Authentique inspiration! 

Today, we will be sharing a couple of layouts by the LMT DT.

First up is Rita.  She combined several of our favorite collections – 'Genuine' by Authentique and the ‘With Love’ Washi Tape by Love My Tapes.  Don’t these look fabulous together?

Next up is Mary Ann.

She is getting us ready for Halloween tomorrow with a fantastic layout, featuring herself.  :)  Isn't she sweet?  She combined the wonderful Halloween collection, 'Enchanted',  and the 'Black Lace' washi tape by Love My Tapes.

Here's what Mary Ann had to say about her layout...
 I just love the Enchanted collection from Authentique, and especially love how well it worked with these "vintage" photos from 1970, and the vintage looking washi tape! I did some layering with the cute stickers, and added in a strip of washi behind my photos. Truth be told, I was too afraid that year to go trick-or-treating, so the night before Halloween I had some of the neighborhood kids over to carve pumpkins. It's definitely a Halloween I want to remember, so I added a little pocket to the back of the layout and included the story about Halloween the year I was 6 years old. Oh the memories

That is just a warm up.  Hopefully you are ready for some more Love My Tape and Authentique ispiration.  Let’s start the HOP.  Shall we?

Washi Tape anyone?

Hey bloggers Rita Barakat here!
The kids are back in school (yay!) and already I am thinking

what am I going to do with all that artwork? After all

"Every Artist was first and amatuer!"

Ralph Waldo Emerson

So I came up with a mini album! How about taking a
picture of your budding artist

and filling the pages with pictures if their beautiful artwork?

Of course I had to decorate mine, (but you could let the
kids do it) I will add their pictures as I get them!

 

Here is this totally cute washi tape I used from Love My  Tapes!

 

 

Supplies:
Clear Scraps Acylic album,
Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft® Gelatos™
Gesso Texture paste Stencil -  the Crafters Workshop
Papers -  DCWV
Washi Tape - Love My Tapes ribbon

Sweet lace...

Hey there bloggers !

Rita Barakat here!

Here is a sweet little card I made with this

Love My Tapes

pink lace tape. 

 If you haven't checked out the lace tapes - warning you will get hooked! 

I remember how frustrating it was to try to get adhesive on the ribbon- not to mention

lace! This lace already has on the back! SO easy to use!

(And who doesn't love a little lace?)

 

Sometimes a little detail like lace or ribbon just

ties it all together for you!

So are you creating???

Well don't forget to enter those creations in our July challenge! 

You have 5 days to enter!

Good luck!

Washi Tapes and scraps

Hey bloggers Rita Barakat here!

 I am loving all the *washi tapes out there! Of course mine are

from Love My Tapes and happen to match these

fun papers from Ta Da Creative Studios perfectly!

I love all these bright, fun colors!

Reminds me of a birthday!

This is also an easy way to use up any scraps you have laying around-

the tape simply ties it all together!

 Here's another look!

*These tapes are not available in the store yet but coming soon!

Happy scrapping!

Got black lace?

Hey there bloggers, Rita Barakat here!

If you have seen my posts, you know I love using Love My Tapes lace ribbon!

Did you know that Love My Tapes also has lace tape in black?

I can think of so many uses for this tape!
How about you? Ever tried it?

I would love to see! Leave me a link!

Save those scraps!!!

Hey bloggers, Rita Barakat here!

I have always wanted to try making one of these little framed charms

and as I was doing it something seemed to be missing!
When I added that little piece of lace ribbon(tape) from
Love My Tapes

it was the perfect touch!

Literally the piece is one inch wide! SO all I have to say girls is save those scraps!

You never know when it might come in handy!

Polkas!

Hey there bloggers!

Rita Barakat here with a layout using a

self adhesive fabric sheet and the matching fabric tape

in polkas! If you look on the top of the page you can see where

I cut the fabric tape in half, length wise to make a

wavy border. The circle mat was cut from the fabric sheet.
 There are always so many options and

it's so convenient that it is adhesive backed!

Hope you are having a wonderful day!

Sweets anyone?

Sweets anyone?

Hers is a sweet and simple card using ribbon and fabric from Love My Tapes!

The yellow looks like a wide ribbon but actually

there are two yellow pieces on the top and bottom of the pink polka ribbon.

The cupcake liner is also made of fabric and a thinly cut piece of the polka ribon. 

I love checks!

Dont you just love chicks I mean checks? LOL!

I love checks - especially when it's fabric! Here are the rolls I used on this project!

(Papers are Ta Da Creative Studios.)

Happy Birthday!

                                                                Isn't that sweet?

Hey bloggers! Rita Barakat here!

Today I am actually at CHA (I scheduled this post ahead of time)!

 On this card I layered the yellow gingham and pink polka 

Love My Tapes (ribbon) to make one large strip.

I used adhesive backed fabric from

 Love My Tapes for the cupcake liner as well.

Here's another quick and easy idea for decorations!

Got tags?

As you can see I cut the green polka Love My Tapes (ribbon)

in a wavy line and used it to frame the pattern paper!

You could use this as a banner and

make small ones and put them on cupcakes!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! Rita Barakat here!

 It's 2012 what are you up to?

Resolutions? Goals? Challenges?

Well here's a challenge for you - how about starting the new year

by making someone a new years card?

One of things I love about "Love My Tapes"

is that I dont have to hassle with adhesive!

 Not to mention that there are so many different fabrics to choose from!

I cut those tabs  and flags out of  Polka Dots -Jane. Easy!

Hope your New Year is Fabulous!!!

Decorating with Love My Tapes

Hey bloggers!
Rita Barakat here showing you one way to use
lace tape in your holiday decorating!
 It was the perfect touch
                  for this little chipboard house I made!                  

 The back of the house- 

Notice my pretty lattice - lace tape from  Love My Tapes.

 Close up of the back of the house...

 The other side of the house...

 I hope this gives you other ideas
 to think out of the box when it comes to decorating!

Just the right touch!

You know when you finish a layout and it is missing something?

It seems like lately I reach for these beautiful lace tapes from Love My Tapes! 

and it's the perfect touch! They go with all types of projects and I love that

I don't have to add the adhesive and get it all over the place (except where I

truly want it!) because it's already on there and it stays where I put it!

This is the one I used on this project

Item#: LT 2003

You must try these You will be hooked!
Beige Color

What to do with fabric ribbon!

I am having so much fun with Love my Tapes -

this is fabric ribbon with the adhesive already on the back!

This one is called Chloe polka dots

and it matches Ta Da's papers Goody Two Shoes collection perfectly!

The album is from Clear Scraps.

Crinkling up your ribbon makes a great accent and

because there is already adhesive on the back it makes it super easy to do!

If you haven't checked out these tapes, you should -

they have almost every color you can think of! 

Happy crafting!

Just Dance!

      

Hey bloggers!Rita Barakat here sharing a project  here with a fun project!

One of the things I love about "Love My Tapes" are the self adhesive lace ribbons!
They are gorgeous, there are colors to match everything and the adhesive never shows!
I used the light pink  Love my Tapes lace tape, the color is a perfect match!

Lately my baby girl has turned into a mini ballerina and this pretty light pink
is the perfect color for your tiny dancers!

 

I also used the Goody Two Shoes collection from Ta Da Creative Studios, 

Prima flowers, tulle, wired pearls, Momenta and American Crafts Alphas.

(The heart shape was a cardboard display form a retail store- they were

going to throw it out! My oldest salvaged it! She knew I would use it! What a good girl!)

This will be perfect for baby girls room.

I think she gets it.

Do you scrap your hobbies? Or your kids hobbies?

My Love

Hey bloggers! Rita Barakat here with my first official post at Love My Tapes!

It's never too early (or late) for a valentine!

I made this sweet card using a scrap of pattern paper and vaious ribbon

& lace tapes from Love My Tapes. Add a couple of flowers and you can see how

quickly you can make a sweet card!

Here are the tapes I used...

These have adhesive on the back and I really love using them!

Have you tried them?
