Spread the Love - Imaginisce Heartland Farm

Hello blogging friends! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend. 

Are you picking strawberries yet in your neck of the woods? It's still too early here in Minnesota. I LOVE to pick berries in the Summer; strawberries in June, raspberries in July, and blueberries in August. Besides eating the berries fresh, I can jelly for my family to eat all year long. Of course, I share what I make too, so I thought I could package my jars up with the new Imaginisce Heartland Farm collection for gifting. I covered the lids with fabric and added a decorative tag to each jar. 

These jars have some of my strawberry and blueberry jelly. No blueberry die cuts though in the Heartland Farm collection so I used the cherry instead.

The chipboard tags needed to be covered with pattern paper first. After adhering the paper to the tag, I used the D-Stress tool to clean up the edges and hole at the top of the tag. I love this tool for when I make chipboard mini albums too. 

Once the tags were covered with pattern paper I embellished with a stamped mason jar and some die cuts.

Supplies:

Imaginisce : Pattern Papers, Die Cuts, Acrylic Stamp (Heartland Farm), D-Stress tool, Foam Tape

Thanks for stopping by,

Washi Tape Gift Wrap - Love My Tapes

Hello blogging friends!  I have an awesome Love My Tapes washi tape gift wrap idea to share with you. Did you know that washi tape is a fabulous way to add pizzazz to a wrapped gift. I was headed to a wedding shower last Sunday and thought my gift wrapped package was boring. Plain silver paper and I didn't even have a bow. Then I remembered I had this incredible wedding themed washi tape. Washi tape to the rescue! Take a look at my gift now ...

Want to see how I made that bow?  I thought you would.

1. I applied washi tape to white cardstock and trimmed the cardstock into strips.

2. Glue the strips so you have 3 loops about the same size. You will also need one smaller loop for the top of the bow. 

3. Arrange washi bands on top of each other and put a staple or two through the middle.

4.  Add some twine loops too if you want. Then tape the smaller loop on top.

Well the bride is a scrapbooker and was so thrilled with the gift wrap that she saved the wrapping. That washi tape will peel right off when she is ready to use it on a layout :)  I love my Love My Tapes washi tapes!!!

I hope you will be adding some pizzazz to your own gifts that need wrapping. Have a great week!
