All NEW Retro Fresh!!!!!

Posted on by

Retro Fresh Designer Series Paper, www.LaurasStampPad.comThe Occasions Mini Catalog is HERE!!!! Woot Woot! There is a new collection – Retro Fresh Designer Series Paper and Washi Tape! I have loved playing with these. The colors are a little out of my usual because there is brown in there 😉 but Coastal Cabana always draws me in!!!! All of the colors in this paper include Baked Brown Sugar, So Saffron, Coastal Cabana, Very Vanilla, and Tangerine Tango! I love how just a little piece of the Designer Series Paper makes this card POP! Those little pieces are 1″ x 2-1/2″ so in a 12″ x 12″ sheet, you can make millions of these cards! I used my markers to get the different colors on the greeting! The greeting is from the Lots of Thanks Stamp Set! I love all of the thank you greetings in this set! I added a few Candy Dots to the bottom for a little pop of color and texture! I use those the same way I use pearls and rhinestones rather than as brads. Be sure to check back for more samples using this Designer Series Paper and the Washi Tape!

Halloween Treat Bags

Posted on by

Happy Monday!! It’s Halloween Week and while I’m not a fan of the holiday, I do enjoy doing craft projects for Halloween and Fall (or any Holiday for that matter). So all week I will be showing you some of the projects I’ve been working on or have created in the past as well!!!

Today is Treat Bags!!!! This year they were super simple with Stampin’ Up’s Tag-A-Bags and Washi Tape!!!! LOVE!

Halloween Treats, www.LaurasStampPad.com

Aren’t these soooo cute??? Let me put out the disclaimer that we only get about 3-5 Trick-Or-Treaters each year so I can decorate my treats! I hear about those people that go through $100’s of dollars of candy and while I think it would be fun to hear the doorbell ring and see cute kids in costumes all night long, I would for sure not be making treat bags for all of them! Also, I send all of my nieces and nephews (7 total) treat bags since they don’t live around me! Working on winning Auntie of the Year each year! 🙂 Here is another picture of a few of the treat bags. I used the Washi Tape, Chalk Talk Framelits, Baker’s Twine, Chevron Ribbon, and Halloween Stamps from Teeny Tiny Wishes and Delightful Dozen!

Ornaments that Glimmer!!!!

Posted on by

Glimmer Ornament, www.LaurasStampPad.com

 

I have heard many Oooo’s and Aaaaaa’s over these amazing Holiday Cards and I’m thinking it is because of the Glimmer Paper! I’m telling you a little bit of glimmer makes every card FABULOUS! And I have an extra special trick to share with you! The card above was created by putting a strip of the each of the Season of Style Washi Tape on the Whisper White piece of cardstock! For the Glimmer Ornament, you will take your Mosaic Punch and punch a piece of Glimmer Paper. Then using your 1-3/4″ Circle Punch, you will line up that mosaic image in the middle of your circle punch and Punch! This gives you that fabulous ornament! AND hold that mosaic punched piece for this next card!!!

Mosaic Ornaments, www.LaurasStampPad.com

This fabulous card was created using that Mosaic punched Glimmer piece and 2 other decorated pieces. For the Glimmer Ornament, I wrapped a piece of the green Washi Tape from Seasons of Style around it and it was complete! For the Cherry Cobbler ornament, I embossed the cardstock with my Mosaic Embossing Folder and then punched it out. This gave it that raised edge for a little texture! Then using the crumb cake Washi Tape from Seasons of Style, I wrapped it around, added a thin strip of Glimmer Paper and a few small rhinestones. I found that using my 2-Way Glue Pen worked the best for adhering that small piece of Glimmer Paper. For the last ornament, I took a small piece of Whisper White cardstock and added a strip of each of the Seasons of Style Washi Tape and then punched out the Mosaic image (at a diagonal). Each ornament is using the Silver Ribbon and I attached it on the back of the ornament with a Stampin’ Dimensional and on the back of the cardstock with Snail Adhesive!

I hope you enjoyed these cards and they made you Ooo and Aaaa! Try adding a little Glimmer Paper to your next card and for more ways to use Washi Tape, check out this post and this post!

Ways to use Washi Tape!

Posted on by

So I will totally admit that when I first got introduced to Washi Tape, I was like “Washi What?” Everyone else was screaming and all excited and I thought to myself, “did I miss something?” The more I learned about Washi Tape and the more samples I saw, the more I was joining the bandwagon of screamers! Washi tape is amazing and something to scream about! There are so many ways you can use it.

Here are just a few ways to use Washi Tape: Yellow Flower Washi Tape

~Background on a Card (Yellow Gingham on the Just For You Card)

~ Banner Flags on Ribbon for a Card or tie the ends onto Sticks and place it in a cake for a special event (Gingham Garden Washi Tape on the Let’s Celebrate Card)

Birthday Washi

~ Use a piece to create an image like a candle or pencil or anything you can imagine (Epic Day Washi Tape as a candle)!

Washi Tape Candle~Wrap around a Toothpick and tear or cut as a flag on the ends and place in cupcakes or use on a meat and cheese display at your next party!

~Wrap around a clear bowl for your next Potluck Party to decorate it and know which bowl is yours at the end of the night!

~Accents on a Birthday Gift Bag or BoxThis & That

~Use as tape to hold a photo in your This & That Journal or on a poster board or just about anywhere.

~Any many more ways….

You can get Washi Tape for every occasion with the Gingham Garden (my fav.), Epic Day This & That, Witches Brew, and Season of Style. And if you want to get a Tutorial AND lots of Washi Tape, you can purchase the What To Washi Bundle!!
