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.

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

Christmas Morning

What could be more exciting than Christmas morning?  The anticipation to see what goodies Santa has left, the joy of unwrapping all those colorful gifts under the tree!

We have a Christmas Morning tradition in my house (started when I was a little girl), the kids must all wait at the top of the stairs while I sneak down and check to make sure Santa came during the night.  Last year I snapped a photo of my kids waiting all sleepy eyed but still full of excitement!

What are your Christmas or holiday traditions?  Are they ones that you carried on from when you were a child?  What ever your traditions are I hope you've made sure they are present in your scrapbooks.

Supplies:

Red & White Polka Dot Fabric Sheet

'NewsPrint' Fabric Sheet

Beige Lace Tape

Spellbinders Snowflake Die

Basic Grey pattern paper

'Tis The Season

My favorite time of year is coming....Christmas!  I love all the twinkling lights, decorations, food and of course spending time with family & friends!

To help start getting in the spirit I have a Christmas layout to share today.



For me Christmas is all about the color red, so I automatically reached for the red & white polka dot Fabric Sheet.  I added bits of Lace Tape throughout the layout for a little extra texture.

I hope this layout gets you in the mood of the season!!

Merry Christmas

Hello my friends!! Giovana here with a Clean and Simple yet elegant Christmas Card!  I made several of these cards using Ivory and White Lace Ribbon Tape. Just the perfect accent to make my card beautiful and elegant.

Directions:

• Make card base from Ivory/White CS. A2 size.
• Score the front of your card at 1/4" each side and 1/2" bottom side. Score also on top and bottom part where you are going to add the tape ribbon.
• Stamp sentiment and image in Versamark Ink and add Gold Embossing powder. Heat it up.
• Add Ivory/White Lace Tape Ribbon (to match your card base)
• Voila!! You are done!! 

Hope you like it!!
Have a great day!!

Lace tapes

Don't you just love lace tape?!

Attaching the banner and on the bottom is the lace tape from Love My Tapes.

Just like frosting I had to go back and add color(or sprinkles)

to the journaling  with  my PITT artist pens Faber Castell Design Memory Craft

Here I used it to frame my journaling!

Masculine Guest Book

One of my staff members is retiring today and we're having a little reception for him.  I made this mini book to use as a guest book for all his friends & peers to wish him well on his new life journey.

I wanted to keep the book quite masculine and this Fabric Sheet was just right, I cut it using one of the Tim Holtz Sizzix dies.  To add a finishing touch to the 'spine' of the book I added one of the Striped Fabric Tapes which I stained green with Distress Stain to match the umbrella man.

I hope he enjoys his book and all the wonderful message his friends & peers write to him!

"Miramichi" layout

Hi Everyone! JJ here again with another layout. This time I wanted to show you a project where I altered the lace and fabric with Tattered Angels products.


The 21mm white (LT1007) lace was painted with Pink Lipstick glimmer glam, and the blue stripe "Silverton" (FT023) tape was painted with the Shy Violet glimmer glaze. I peeled the backing off, placed the tape on my non-stick splat mat, and misted & painted away. Once they were dry, I just peeled them up and stuck them on my page. The adhesive was still just as strong as ever!


This photo demonstrates how much of a difference Chalkboard mist can make on a piece of fabric. The tan self-adhesive fabric is the original colour and the teal fabric is the same fabric misted with Teal High Heel chalkboard. It was a happy discovery to find the white anchors resisted the mist!


Take a second look at your favorite Love My Tapes products - you can get even more uses from them if you try altering the colour!

Thanks for visiting,
JJ
