Lace Tape + Glitter Paper Christmas Cards

Hey everyone, Katie here! It's December, can you believe it? Christmas is only a couple of weeks away so it's definitely time to start sending off Christmas cards.

I made these 2 Christmas cards using fabric tapes, silver glitter paper and gold washi.

I started by coloring the lace tapes green with gelatos. I just scribbled the color on them and then sprayed them with water to blend the colors.

I stuck the tapes down onto the front of my card, in a general tree shape..

Then I cut a Christmas tree out of the silver glitter paper and adhered the negative part of the diecut to the front of my card, so that the lace shows through. I love that the glitter paper has an adhesive back!

I created a second card with the glittery Christmas tree diecut that I didn't use on the first card.

Thanks for stopping by today!

The Hunger Games Inspired Layout

Hey guys, Katie here today! For Halloween this year, I went as Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games. My costume was completely handmade, and I loved being Katniss!

Since my costume was so amazing, I needed a layout to document it, right?

 I included the mockingjay pin that was part of my costume onto my layout over a few strips of fabric and lace tapes, but I felt my layout still needed a little bit something.

So I grabbed Love My Tapes gold glitter paper (this stuff is fantastic!) and diecut my title out of it on my Silhouette Portrait. If you're curious, I used the blade at a 7 and it cut through my glitter paper perfectly!

Thanks for stopping by! You really need to get you some of that glitter paper, hopefully our shop should be up soon where you can get some!

Glitter and Lace Autumn Cards

Hey everyone, Katie here! Today I'm sharing these 2 cards I created using some lace tape and the new adhesive backed glitter paper that Love my Tapes offers!

The new glitter paper comes in more than 30 colors, but I went for gold for a stunning look on these Autumn cards.

I cut the leafs out on my Brother Scan N Cut, and in case you're wondering- the glitter paper worked just fine and dandy in my diecut machine! :)

To make the bow, I used some thin lace tape and just made it like you would a paper bow. I love the soft touch and extra texture it adds. Lots of texture here between the lace and the glitter- perfect for Autumn!

Glittery stars and washi tape

Hello LMT fans, it's Jaclyn here today.  Are you caught up in your scrapbooks?  I most certainly am not!  I just got around to scrapping my youngest son's preschool graduation pictures from back in May.  I'm glad I waited though, because LMT's new 12x12 adhesive backed glitter sheets, proved to be the perfect compliment to these pages!

 

 

I used a thin metal star die to cut a variety of stars from the black glitter paper.  They die cut through the paper so very easily.  I've mentioned this on the blog before but it's worth repeating - the glitter sheets do not 'shed'!  Oftentimes I avoid working with glitter because I hate the mess, but the LMT glitter sheets solve that issue!

 

 

As a bonus, I simply peeled off the release paper, to reveal an even sticky layer of adhesive that attached so nicely to my page.  Even adhering seamlessly to my textured cardstock background!

 

 



Lots of pictures on a page, sometimes means that I don't have a whole lot of space left for embellishment.  But washi tape can be squeezed in and layered just about anywhere.

Here I've used the black and white polka dot tape to look like several of the polaroids are 'taped' to the background.

Thanks for joining me today on the blog!  We'd love to hear how you're using the 12x12 glitter sheets on your crafting projects.  We hope you'll share with us and link up your projects in the comments!

Baked goods and pretty tapes

Hi LMT fans, it's Jaclyn here today.  Please tell me I am not alone in the fact that the cooler temperatures immediately put me in the mood to bake.  Anyone else have this 'problem'?  Something about pulling out the jeans, boots and sweaters initiates my craving for everything pumpkin flavored, warm and delicious.  Since the temperature has barely reached 50 degrees where I live within the past several days, I've succumbed to baking six loaves of pumpkin bread and four dozen snickerdoodle cookies!  I admit, its a problem! Ha!  But it would be even more of a problem, if I ate it all myself!  Luckily I have many friends and neighbors who appreciate my kitchen whims and are happy to indulge in surprise packages of goodies on their porch.

What does any of this have to do with the pretty tapes you come to see on this blog?  Well, just as I mentioned in my post last week, I often reach for my supply of tapes to pretty up my baked goods packaging prior to passing them along!

 

 

I've been gifting loaves up pumpkin bread like crazy.  I found these cute kraft and orange polka dot boxes at my local craft store.  While cute and decorative, they definitely needed to be dressed up!  I created a simple black cardstock wrap, to extend around the outside of each bread box.   At this point, I dug into my tape stash, wrapping some around the perimeter of each box and making darling, dimensional bows with the rest.

 

LMT is now providing you with awesome 12x12 adhesive-backed glitter sheets!  To keep with the Halloween theme, I used the black glitter cardstock to accent my cardstock wraps, as a base for my 'tape bows' and I even used a bit along the bottom edge of each tag.

 

 

The glitter sheets have a super strong adhesive, so there's no worry that they'll move once you have them stuck down.  What I also love about these sheets is they are no mess!  I punched, trimmed and cut various pieces from the black glitter sheet, and didn't have a strand of stray glitter anywhere on myself or my work surface!

 

 

 

That's all I've got for today, LMT friends. Enjoy your weekend!  We hope you'll come back and visit us next week.  The Design Team girls all received a bounty of new LMT products and we're eager to share the fun things we've been making with them, with you!



Glitter paper garland

Hello Love My Tapes fans! This is Maya and today I am going to share a sparkly paper garland. 

We are in the midst of the Jewish holiday Sukkot where we build a small hut (sukkah) in our backyards and eat our meals inside the sukkah. One of the best part of the holiday is the decoration. The sukkah is often decorated with fruits, flag and garlands.

I used the brand new 12x12 glitter cardstock from Love My Tapes. For my first garland I punched two sizes of circles (make sure you use a heavy duty punch) and sandwiched a piece of string between two circles. The cardstock has an adhesive on the back so I didn't have to worry about the edges coming apart.  

For my second garland I divided the 12x12 sheet into 2x2 squares and further divided them into triangles. 

I cut the triangles apart and sandwiched a piece of string between two triangles. This can be a great craft for kids and actually my daughter helped me to finish the garland.

We will hang our garlands in our sukkah and they will bright our holiday meals for the next week.

My 6 years old was so mesmerized by all the sparkles that I had a hard time keeping him out of the pictures. I consider that as success :)

Thank you for stopping by today! Have a sparkly weekend!
