Love My Tapes Designer: Susie Bentz

Hello Love My Tapes Fans!  

My name is Susie Bentz and I love washi!  My personal stockpile contains well over 100 different designs.  It is a great way to add accents without adding bulk.  I use it to introduce a color(s) or to balance a layout.  I love to use it to break up a line OR to extend a line.  Washi can be a bold part of the design or it can be a subtle embellishment.  It doesn’t matter if the design is fun and funky or very elegant – washi works! 

I love all kinds of crafting but I am primarily a scrapbooker so I thought I would share a few of my favorite pages:

Love My Tapes Designer: Cassie Wiscarson

Hello Love My Tapes followers!

I am so thrilled to be joining the fabulous team here at Love My Tapes!!

My name is Cassie Wiscarson and I currently live in Washington State with my husband, our 7 year old daughter and our two dogs.  I started scrapbooking back in 2005 when my husband joined the Army.  Once I started, I was hooked.  I have always loved photography, in fact it was my major in both high school and college.  So playing with paper just came naturally to me.

I will be the first to admit that I am a washi tape addict.  I seriously can't get enough of the stuff.  I love it so much that I just convinced my husband to make me new trays to hold all of my tape.  I decided to share two of my favorite layouts that I recently created with washi tape.

For this cute layout featuring my daughter, I wanted to have a bunch of different patterned strips behind the photo.  Washi is perfect for this!  I love having all the different patterns on this layout and I didn't use a single sheet of patterned paper.  I also love that washi comes in a variety of widths, because I love them all!

In this layout featuring my mom and one of my pups, I just wanted to add little pops of extra color throughout the page.  This is another great way to use washi on a page.  With the variety of colors and patterns available I am always able to find the perfect addition to my pages.

Love My Tapes Designer: Ange Weisbeck

Hello LMT friends!

I am super excited to be joining the Love My Tapes team!

My name is Ange (anj) Weisbeck. I live in Idaho with my husband and 4 children, 2 girls - 16 & 13 and 2 boys - 11 & 5. They definitely fill my life with a lot of excitement!

I have been scrapbooking since before my oldest was born. I love making home decor and the occasional card, but my main passion is layouts. I just love reliving those wonderful moments that I've been lucky enough to catch with a photo or journaling about the ones I missed.

I have a serious love for tapes, so I think I'm going to fit right in around here!

Here is a layout I made with some fun Cross Stitch Heart tape that you can find in the store here.

My little guy is such a charmer! He is so much fun and loves having his picture taken. Here I've used the tape to make a border around my layout and then layered it behind my photo for a banner accent.

Love My Tapes Designer: Charity Hotrum

Hello Friends and Followers of Love My Tapes!

I am absolutely ECSTATIC to be on this new Design Team.

My name is Charity Hotrum. I live in North Dakota with my three children, two cats, and overflowing craft space. I began scrapbooking photos in 2007 but have been papercrafting ever since I could manipulate scissors. My favorite technique is fussy cutting and I revel in combining colors and textures. I enjoy following sketches and discovering new ways to use common scrapping items. I alternate between a shabby chic style and a tailored layering style. I attempt CAS from time to time and like getting my fingers messy with Mixed Media supplies.

Love You

Washi Tape has so many good points. It is bright colored, comes in multiple patterns, adheres to virtually any surface, and removes easily for oops-oriented crafters.

A Good Day

 My favorite aspect of washi tape is the ease with which it may be applied. I can add it at the end of a project that just needs a tad more color or I can build a page from the bottom up with specific washi tapes in mind.

 So This Is Love

The fact that this lovely product is self adhesive makes it super easy to use. No messing with an additional step. I place it on my project where I want it.

Dream Big

And scrunching the stuff for a distressed look? Why it crumbles EXACLTY where I want it to and I couldn't be happier with the effect. I am all about washi tape because it is easy and versatile!

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,

~Marcia
