November Sketch Challenge

Hi friends!! We're almost to the end of November and have just a few days left for you to enter the November Sketch Challenge.  The sketch this month was made by our very own Design Team member Ashley, and can be used to for a layout or card : )  I really struggle with making cards, so I used the sketch to help me along.

I followed the basic design, keeping the square shape and adding the washi tape to the top left and bottom right corners.

I used the diagonal stripe paper instead of the paper strips, and replaced the arrows with some machine sewing. I love how my card turned out, and have an envelope all ready to send it off in today's mail!!

Thanks for stopping by, and be sure to share your Sketch Challenge projects HERE. You could win some Love My Tapes goodies!!!

November Challenge - Sketches!

Hello and Happy Monday!

Tina here today with our November Challenge, Sketches!

We all love sketches.  They are so versatile and can be used for inspiration in many ways.  You can use them exactly as the sketch outlines, or you can use bits and pieces of the sketch to make it all your own. 

This months challenges is to create a layout or card that uses this sketch as inspiration.  Please let us know how you used the sketch and what inspired you.  (Sketch created by our very own Ashley Horton)

You must use washi, lace, and/or fabric tape on your layout/card (preferably from Love My Tapes - but not required), and use the sketch as your jumping off point!

To get you started, here's a layout I created using the sketch as inspiration!

I was inspired by the section behind the photos, so I die-cut a design and layered washi tape behind the open sections to add a subtle hint of color.

The following washi tapes were used:
Red/White Dot
Teal Diagonal
Yellow Stripe

Also, in place of the second photo, I added an area of embellishments. 

I also loved the arrow accents, so I incorporated arrows throughout my layout.

 Here are the details for the November Challenge.

1. Create a Layout or Card that used washi/lace/fabric tape in the above sketch.  Please let us know how you were inspired.

2. The challenge is open until November 25, 2012.

3. A randomly chosen winner will win some LMT goodies.

4. Link up your projects below.

Make sure and participate as I am continually looking for future Love My Tape Guest Designers. Link up your Challenge projects here and share your other LMT projects on our Facebook page.

October Challenge - Off the Page!

Hello and Happy Friday! 

Tina here today with our October Challenge, Off the Page!

We wanted to get y'all thinking about ways to use washi, lace, and fabric tape in different ways, so what better way to 'step outta the box' then get Off the Page!

This months challenges is to create a project that takes you off the page.  No layouts, no cards! 

Using washi, lace, and/or fabric tape, create a project that uses tape in a fun and innovative way!

To get you started, here's an Off the Page project I created with several LMT washi tapes.

I layered strips of several washi tapes on a piece of 12z12 cardstock for my base.



Using a die-cut machine, I cut a design on another piece of 12x12 cardstock and adhered it to the top of the tape sheet.

Doesn't that look great with the washi 'peeking out' from behind the die cut shape?  Super easy too!

Here are the details for the October Challenge.

1. Create an Off the Page project that uses tape in a fun and innovative way.

2. The challenge is open until October 26, 2012.

3. A randomly chosen winner will win some LMT goodies.

4. Link up your projects below.

Make sure and participate as I am looking for future Love My Tape Guest Designers. Link up your Challenge projects here and share your other LMT projects on our Facebook page.

Love My Tapes July Challenge

Happy Friday Love My Tapes friends!  Tina here today with the July challenge and another washi tape card to get you started.  Last week, I shared a cute clown card that I created using some of my favorite Love My Tapes washi tapes. 

When creating that card, I shared a technique of punching shapes using washi tape and using the negative of the punch instead of throwing the negative out.  The card I want to share today uses the punched shape.

I used one of my favorite washi tapes, Red Diamond.  Using a star punch, I punched the washi that I had placed on a scrap piece of paper.

In addition to the washi star, I used more of the Red Diamond washi as a coordinating accent layer on the left side of the card.

The use of the washi tape was subtle, but it creates such punch of color.

Here is a picture of both cards, so you see how I used both the punched shape and the negative.

The challenge for July is to create a project (layout, card, altered project) using STARS!  The project must contain washi tape and stars to be entered in the challenge. 

I hope you enjoyed my share today and get a chance to play along.

You have until July 25th to link up your projects!  The winner will be announced on July 27th and the winner will receive an assortment of Love My Tapes products. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful week!
