Class Valentines with washi tape

Hello, Love My Tapes fans! This is Maya and today I am sharing class Valentines that I made with my 6 years old.

We decided to make melted crayon hearts. I did them before with my older kids and they are so much fun. There are tons of instructions all over the internet so I will not be sharing them. I will show how we packaged them using Love My Tapes washi tape.

We started by peeling the crayons and melting them in the oven.

When the hearts were ready we attached them to a piece of cardstock with a thick glue dot and I let my first grader write his "tos" and "froms" on a piece of washi tape with a sharpie. Not only did it look pretty but if an occasional mistake was made, it was easy to peel off the washi tape and fix the mistake.

I put the hearts inside little bags and closed them with bag toppers that I designed in Silhouette software.

Thank you for stopping by today!

Wedding Mini Album with Love My Tapes

Hello blogging friends. Marcia here today with a mini album I created with some Love My Tapes washi tape. My daughter was recently married and I've been wanting to create a mini with some of my favorite photos.

Here is how I created my mini. Using the Heart Album die, I cut out 4 from box board and 8 from cardstock, I painted the edge of the box board with white paint. When dry, I adhered the cardstock to the boxboard.

I selected some pattern papers, these are from the Pretty Little Studios You & Me collection that are available in the Clique Kits store.

I die cut the hearts for my album.

I used my Xyron Creative Station to adhere all of these diecuts  to the mini albums pages.

To bind the pages together I created a spine with cardstock scored at every 1/4". I glued one side of each album page to the spine.

I then covered the spine with my Love My Tapes washi tape on the outside and the inside pages.

Then I could add my photos and embellishments. Here are the rest of the pages ...

I used the same washi tape on the inside pages but here I cut the tape in half lengthwise. This created a better proportion for my mini.

I hope this inspires you to create your own mini. Remember Love My Tapes washi tape is now available in the Love My Tapes Etsy store.

Thanks for stopping by,

Washi Tape in my Studio

Hey everyone, Katie here! Today I wanted to showcase a couple of the things I've embellished with washi tape in my craft studio.

I recently bought a couple of these gift wrap carts from Michaels. I customized them by spray painting them fun colors, but to add a little more embellishment I wrapped a little bit of washi tape around the bars as well! I liked the combo of the yellow paint with the black and white washi tapes.



I like to customize my small scrapbooking tools as well, like this sticker maker by Xyron. I used one of my favorite floral washi tapes and added it along the sides of the X.

Do you use washi tape to customize your tools or studio?

Etsy shop! Fabric Tape & Easter?

I am so glad Love My Tapes has an Etsy shop.  I was able to add a few more tapes to my collection that will be perfect for the upcoming holidays. This set of 3 Fabric Tapes is the Haze collection.  I love the look and feel of fabric tapes.  This set is perfect for the Easter or Spring projects.

These 3 fabric tapes are the Haze Collection. 

Here is a look at my new Washi Tape.  I love anything with numbers on it!  The thin black numbered washi tape will be perfect for a project I am doing for school, but it will also work in my journals.   Of course stars are great year round but I plan to use this for my 4th of July Rosette banner.  The gold is fabulous for anything and everything.  Hearts are for some Valentine cards and treat bags.  The banner's were too cute to pass up and the bunnies are on everything that I made this week!




I covered 2 paper mache eggs with fabric tape, and added a strip of it to my book page egg. The banners were topped off with some of the lace tape and bunny themed washi tape.

I covered these paper mache eggs with Love My Tapes bunny washi tape and fabric tapes. Some of the eggs are old text books with only one strip of washi tape and then I added a button.

                                                             
These paper mache eggs were so easy to decorate with tape.. you can either just peel and stick or you can add some glue over and under the tape.  I love quick DIY projects and the kids do to!  I also added a touch of the bunny washi tape to a banner and my Easter book. All of the tapes pictured are from Love My Tapes.

You can purchase them from the new Etsy shop.   If you shop in February use promo code: 2015LOVE and get 15% off a $25 order.. this code ends 2/20/2015

Love card

Hello Love My Tapes fans! This is Maya and today I an sharing a little love with you, We are exactly two weeks away from Valentine Day, time to take out all our pinks and reds and have some fun.

I started with Heidi Swapp watercolor tag that I painted with Faber Castell gelatos in 4 shades of red and pink. I covered the heart with Faber Castell glaze to give it a glossy finish. I covered a piece of small white cardsock with Love My Tapes red chevron tape and added it under the LOVE letters,

I wrapped a piece of twine around the heart and adhered it to the card using a foam tape. The card base is made by misting white cardstock with Mt. Huey's mist in Mary Mary.

I added few doodles with a thin black sharpie for more contrast,

Love My Tapes etsy store has a gorgeous selection of Valentine wahsi tapes. Check them out!

Time for a Design Team call.. calling all our Washi tape fans!

It's that time again!  We are having our 2nd Design Team Call.  

Love you a Latte

Hey everyone, Katie here! It's a little over 2 weeks until Valentines day, so not too early to start thinking about making cute red and pink projects! Today I wanted to share with you these little "love you a latte" coffee cups I made.

I got these small coffee cups in a Christmas craft kit but of course they can be used for anything! I wrapped them with pink and red fabric tapes to add a bit of color and then I added a piece of lace tape around each one as well.

I filled them with Hershey's kisses so now they're ready to give to friends!
