Mandala Card

Charity here from Scrappin' Chaos.
Today I have a card decorated with the ancient art form of Mandalas. I used paper doilies, and Stickles, and an assortment of Love My Tapes washi for the repeating patterns.
~ Congratulations ~

 I trimmed each strip of washi length wise to fit my design.  I carefully measured and marked my paper to place the wheel and corner tape. I also laid the central strips of washi on wax paper and cut the center circle.

Little Duck Lost

Charity here from Scrappin' Chaos.
Over Memorial Weekend we found a duckling, alone and frantic in the middle of the road. We brought him home and after checking with the proper authorities prepared to raise him. Ducklings don't live well without siblings and this one only made it two days. This sweet baby nestled right into our hearts in that short time and it was hard to say goodbye.

~ Little Duck Lost ~

 To ease the sadness and encourage my kids to continue to do the right thing when they found a lost soul, I made them this memorial album.

 For the most part I took my color cues from my photo mats, a set of prints of Monet's work, all water themed. Love My Tapes has so many prints and shades of washi that I had no trouble embellishing the pages.

This little book has helped the kids memories fade into a sweet lesson on life and caring for others.

Tic Tac Tape

Charity here from Scrappin' Chaos.
Today I have a new twist on an old game.

It's quick to make and everybody loves playing,

~ Tic Tac Toe ~

The 16x16 cork board is pre-made from Michaels.
The letters are 4" chipboard.

I wrapped each letter in a different washi tape. Narrow tapes wrap a bit easier, but I was mostly concerned with variety of color and pattern so I made it work. Find these and MANY MORE patterns in the Love My Tapes Etsy store.

To be certain the tape stayed secure I laid more tape on the backs of the letters, running the opposite direction. I also painted the backs of the letters with dimensional adhesive.

Party Hat Blossoms

Charity here from Scrappin' Chaos.

I believe a lady always needs a party hat! 

If she makes it herself it can be as bright and flowery as she likes.

This hat was finished in just a couple hours.

~ Bloom ~

 To begin I made double sided strips of washi tape. The wide pink and the postal print I backed with black floral tape. For the pink and white washi I just used the same tape.

 The Pink flower and the Postal print flowers were made using individual loops. The tape was flexible yet solid. I stitched the ends together at the middle.
The small pink flowers are rolled ribbon roses.

There are several excellent tutorials on making ribbon roses posted on the internet. Double side your washi tape and get started making flowers!

Ruby Slippers

Welcome back to the Love My Tapes Blog!

Charity here from Scrappin' Chaos with a summer sandal layout. 

 The main colors of this layout are red and craft.
I used washi tape to add pattern and color.

 

 Under the photo mat I looped black floral washi tape.

On either side of the cascade of red blossoms I used green filigree washi tape for leaves. To form the leaves I doubled the washi tape, shaped a loop, and used hot glue to tack it down.

Stop by the Etsy shop to find this and other washi tapes.

So Many Books, So Little Time layout

Hello Love My Tapes Fans!  I am back today to share a new layout.  I have had these patterned papers in my stash for a while now so I was pretty happy that I was able to grab some washi tape that looks great with the paper.

Here is a close up of the three rolls of tape that I used on this page.

The tapes I used are: Mint with Love Washi, Pink Waves Washi Tape,  Navy Blue Spray Painted Numbers.

I just wanted to take a second and thank this fabulous team and all of the fans for the fun time I have had as a part of this team.  I have decided to step down to focus on some other great and challenging things in my life.  It has been a great experience creating projects for this team.  I truly feel so lucky to have been a part of it.

Thanks for joining me today!

Live, Love and Enjoy Life!

Welcome Washi Tape fans!  

Susie here to share an all occasion card with an elegant black & white color scheme and a sentiment that I have come to embrace in my everyday life.

The washi tape that I used on this card may be found in the Love My Tapes Etsy store.

Wide Black and White Music Note Butterfly washi tape

 I started by covering white cardstock with strips of the washi tape.  

I cut it to size and rounded the corners before adding a crisp white doily.

The sentiment is from a set of clear stamps from Kaisercraft, which I stamped and heat embossed with black embossing powder.

I trimmed out the sentiment, inked the edges and adhered it to the front of the card, using foam tape adhesive to pop up the word "and" for a little dimension.  Finally I adhered the finished panel onto a black card and rounded the corners of it as well!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you find some time to play (with washi tape) today!

Hello Kitty Charm

Hi, it's Candy Spiegel with cute little Hello Kitty card.

Fans of Hello Kitty will be happy to know that Love My Tapes offers a washi tape just for them! I used it to make both the card and the charm.

First, create a card base and adhere washi tape to the front. I alternated my tapes. I tape it onto the desk to keep it straight and easier to work with. Then, just trim off the excess.

I added a bit of ribbon and hid a Glue Dot under the knot to help hold it in place.

I used a rectangular pendant and cut the washi tape down to fit inside. Then I coated it with Glastique (Crystal Lacquer, Diamond Glaze or Glossy Accents will work, too) and let it dry.

Then looped it through a jump ring and attached it to the pin.

The charm is adorable and I love how the card turned out ... what do you think?

Just One More Selfie

Hello everyone!  Lynn here today sharing a layout  I created using tapes from the Love My Tapes Etsy Store.

I was in the mood to create a layout this time using ONLY washi tape and watercolor/ink... no pattered paper or cardstock.  I decided to go with bold washi since I was using photo strips.  Here are some close ups.

Here are the tapes I used from the Love My Tapes Etsy Store.

Film Washi Tape

Black Chevron Washi Tape

Colorful Bird Washi Tape

Mint Stripes Aqua washi tape

Thanks for popping in today!!  Have a great weekend!

Black and White and Red All Over!

Hello Washi Tape Fans!
Susie here today with a volleyball layout that is "black and white and red all over!"

The tapes I used in this project may be found in the Love My Tapes Etsy store:

Red and White washi, Camera washi, Black and White Stripe washi

This is basically a monochromatic layout except for the "pops" of red on some of the sticker embellishments that match my daughter's jersey.  I used the Red and White washi to add a bold stripe of color on the left side of the layout.

I liked the film strip element and added a piece of Camera washi right along side it...can you see it peeking out?

Another piece of Red and White washi visually lifts the silhouette sticker off of the background here:

I used the Black and White Stripe washi in two places on the layout.  Here it creates a strong horizontal line under the picture and out to this silhouetted figure:

I also used it as a a ribbon on the journaling tag I have tucked behind the photo.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you find some time to play today!

The Sky's the Limit

Hi! It's Candy with another post for Love My Tapes.

This one was a lot of fun to make. I used washi tape in place of patterned paper or coloring with my stamps.

I applied strips of washi tape to white cardstock -- lining up the patterns.

Then I stamped the images with StazOn ink.

Then I used another piece of washi tape to hold the dies in place as I ran them through my Big Shot.

It's a cute look, don't you think?

Remodel a Birdhouse Using Washi Tape!

Hi everyone!

Lynn here today sharing a little craft that I did using tapes from the Love My Tapes Etsy Store.

I found a wood birdhouse that I purchased a few years ago and decided it was time to make it pretty!

This was a really easy project.  The hardest part was deciding what tape to use ;)

I covered the entire birdhouse with mod podge and let try over night.  The next day, I added some fiber and embellishment.

This birdhouse never looked so good!!

Here are the tapes I used from the Love My Tapes Etsy Store

Turquoise, Birds & Floral washi tape

Ruby Lace wahi tape

Wood washi tape

Thanks for popping in today!!  Have a great weekend!
