Tape! Tape! Tape!

Ever wonder what to do with all of the tapes you have amassed?  Washi tape, gaffer tape, label maker tape, even masking tape.  It's everywhere right now and it is the latest trend in paper crafting.  I know I have a small basket of tapes that I always seem to need, but never really know how to use!

Well, if you need that inspiration, that kick in the pants, that "AHA!" moment with your tapes, head on over to Paper Issues.  That's right!  Buttloads of tape inspiration right in one spot!  The current theme right now is "Tape It Up!".  Link up your projects to play along and you may even be featured!  Not to mention, we'd love to see what you got and leave you some looooove!

Here's my take on the theme.  I used a layout I did last year using Webster's Pages "Trendsetter" line and some Hambly Washi Tape.

Love this photo of my oldest daughter

This layout uses A LOT of fussy cutting and layering.  I love how this page turned out. 




Thanks for taking a look and be sure to link up your tape projects over at Paper Issues!  Also, remember!  If you want to place an order through the Paper Issues store, use coupon code BADASSERY for 20% off you order!

    1. They are part of the paper. I had 2 sheets of the same paper. I cut the cherry blossoms out of one and layered them onto the other. I love the dimension the layering adds.

      Thank you for your comment!
