One big photo + washi tape stripes

Hello Love My Tapes friends! This is Maya and today I am sharing a layout with 4 different washi tapes.

I was looking at the picture of my little boy and realized that I have just the perfect washi tapes to match the color of his shirt. (And we all know that this is exactly that type of things that make us, scrapbookers, happy!)

I printed the picture in 5x7 leaving a lot of white space on the side and added three strips of washi tape in blue and green colors. I used the green stars tape and another one with blue and green geometric patterns.

To tie them together even more I went over the stars on the green tape with blue sharpie.

I also used several strips of grey and light green chevron tapes to make a background for the banner accents.

And now I have some great news to share! Love My Tapes has an etsy shop! There you can find the tapes I used on my layout and many many more including fabulous lace and fabric tapes and adhesive!

If you spend $25 in January the shipping is free with code janweb.

Thank you for stopping by today! Now if you will excuse me, I have some shopping to do!

Washi Shapes Birthday Card

Hello! Tessa Buys here with an easy technique for making the most of your washi tape and scrap cardstock. Have you ever looked at a tape design and wished it came in patterned paper, too? That's how I feel about this pretty pink stripe washi tape.

To create my own pink stripe patterned paper, I applied a few rows of the tape to scrap cardstock. To create an embellishment out of my "patterned paper" for this card, I used a punch to punch out the butterfly shape.

Try this technique on colored cardstock (I used white) for different effects. Thanks for visiting today!

Weaving with fabric tapes

Hello Love My Tapes fans! This is Maya and today I am going to share a layout I made to celebrate my first attempt at basket weaving.

I decided to use fabric tape to echo the basket and make a fun interlaced mat for my pictures.

I used lined and flower fabric tapes. First I placed the horizontal pieces and than I weaved the vertical pieces in between. The adhesive on the back of the tape is strong enough to hold everything in place but at the same time gentle enough to allow lifting of the tape and putting it back.

I added few chipboard letters from my stash and a journaling card from Project Life kit.

I love how the fabric tapes give a rustic look to my layout. It matches the theme perfectly.

Thank you for stopping by today!

Teacher Appreciation Card

Hello! Tessa Buys here. I had yet to use this darling ruler washi tape, and when I had reason to make a thank you card for my son's teacher, I knew I needed to put this fun tape to use!

I used my favorite formula of strips of washi tape, fabric tape and lace tape. I used SRM clear stickers to add my sentiment directly to the tape, then added a few enamel dots to finish it off.

I am really good about remembering to thank my kids' teachers during teacher appreciation week and the holidays, but I need to be better about expressing appreciation year round. Hopefully, this quick and easy card will inspire you to do the same. Thanks to Love My Tapes for a washi tape design that suits teachers perfectly!

Besides me, someone else really loves this ruler tape. Check out my blog today to see who. Have a great day!

Never Stop Exploring- Fabric Tape Cactus

Hey everyone, Katie here! Today I wanted to share a fun layout I made using our fabric tapes! I absolutely love the fabric tapes, they have such great texture, they're so soft!

I used them on this layout to not only border my photo but also to make a saguaro cactus! Yep, it's made from green fabric tape!

I started just by cutting 3 strips of different lengths for the body and arms of the cactus and them made them a little wider with scraps of the fabric tape. I rounded the top corners of the tape to give it a more cactus-y look and then added "thorns" with a black Sharpie!

The muslin tape I used might be one of my favorites (I've used so much, I'm almost out! Oh no!)! It's a great neutral color.

Thanks for reading! I'm at CHA today, so I'm hoping to find some fun new products to use with my tapes! :)

Happy New Year!

Hello Love My Tapes friends.  Marcia here today with a confession. I did not get all my Christmas cards mailed. Life is just so busy before Christmas. But I wanted my friends and family to know I've been thinking about them, so I decided I needed to make some Happy New Year cards.

I cut the sentiment with my Silhouette Cameo and instead of using the positive, I filled the negative space underneath with washi tape. I thought this silver washi tape with tiny stars was perfect.

Here is another making use of the negative, but on this card I ran the washi taped cardstock through my Cameo. This same technique can be done with dies or other electronic cutting machine. Since I was working with a striped pattern, I also took care to match up the stripes.

and here is my card...

By using the positive and the negative cuts for my cards, I was able to make several cards quickly. So if you are like me and don't want to fall off your friends and family Christmas card lists, it's not too late. Send a New Year's card instead.

Thanks for stopping by. Here's to a fabulous 2015!
