Happy Spring

Happy Spring!
The challenge this week at Papercraft Star is Spring! Come play along with us for a chance to win some digital downloads from our sponsor The House Across The Bay!
The daffodil center of this card was repurposed from another card. I love the soft shades of yellow and the hints of glitter that it has. The Black Damask is decorative tape from Tapeswell. The New Leaf green satin ribbon is from Papertrey Ink. The base is Barely Banana cardstock from Stampin' Up!

It's time for a picnic!

I found a plain unfinished wood serving tray and spray painted it white. Next I added Tapeswell's Black Damask Tape to decorate the tray. I just love it!!! I added the tape to the bottom of a plain glass plate I found at The Dollar Tree. I also made the napkin ring and decorated the glass vase. Aren't my daffodils pretty! I just love spring. It's time to enjoy some beautiful weather by having a picnic!

I'm sharing this with Passionately Artistic, Tatertots And Jello, The Stuff Of Success and Toys In The Dyer.

Matchbox Wedding Favors

I just love the way Eileen of TapeSwell photographed the Black Damask wedding favors I made!

And don't you just love the matching tray! It started off as plain unfinished wood. I spray painted it white then added the Black Damask tape. Voila!

 My monogram is a custom stamp from PSA Essentials called Antique Cipher. I have found the best price on them from Expressionary. I see 30% or 40% off offers all the time on their site. I used a die to cut the cardstock then decorated with the tape. Easy Peasy!

If you haven't figured it out by now I really do love TapeSwell!

It just makes my day when I read comments left by visitors! And I know they will love it too!

If you haven't already seen the other wedding crafts I made, please look back at posts in May and June.

Here's the before picture of the tray.

Valentine Please Be Mine

Here's a Valentine's day card, envelope, gift bag and candy wrapper that was all made with the Black Damask tape from Tapeswell. I made the gift bag with the Fancy Favor Stampin' Up! Bigz Xl Die. If you check out Tapeswell's blog  you will see these posted there. I have gotten a little bit better at photographing my projects, but have so much more to learn. You will be able to see how beautifully Eileen displayed and photographed everything. I am entering this in JUGS spotlight challenge. Notice how the red heart is lined up with the damask pattern.
