Recreate with Washi Tapes and farewell

Hello everyone, 

Dolly here, on the last day of the year 2015 to share some washi tape ideas with you all. This month's theme is based on the use of washi tapes and mod podge and it surely can be used in a variety of ways. 

Hope you all have already linked your creations for the monthly challenge. If not, you still have a day's time. 

Challenge# 56: Deck up your home

For my project, I have re-created my mouse pad with a layer of washi tape and mod podge to give a final sealed look. You can see the picture below on how can any plain mouse pad be transformed into your favorite colors or patterns with washi tapes.

I have also used some binder clips and covered them with washi tapes to make it look more interesting. A lot of different stationary can be customised with washi tape to make it look cuter. 

This post also turns out to be my last post for Lulupu as a DT member. Its time to welcome in a new team with new inspiration for you all. Thank you for being so kind and welcoming and your comments have always been an encouragement to me. I would also love to thank my fellow DTs - Tanvi, Kripa, Manu and Neha for always being there to help, support and guide and not to forget Karuna who gave me this lovely platform to showcase my art

Before, I sign off - I would like to share my favorite projects for this year once again :)

Take care and Keep crafting!

Love,
Dolly

Washi tape mini Canvas & Au revoir

Hello creatives,

Kripa here, with my final project as DT for Lulupu - a mini canvas based on the theme this month

Deck up your Home with washi tape + mod podge

(Click here to read the full post on the challenge)

The first layer is pattern paper and torn strips of washi tapes (

Glitter Light Gold Japanese Washi Tape, Gold Script Japanese Washi Tape) on a Kraft base. Next is a layer of texture paste through a stencil. Finally, more pieces of torn washi tape and some embellishments.

Washi strips added just the right interest to the background, enough to not use any stamping at all! The challenge with using washi was that it wouldn't stick on texture paste and because I used small torn strips it was even more difficult keeping them down on the bumpy textures. Mod Podge Matte 4 oz came to my rescue, as it dries transparent, you can't even see it and those tiny pieces of tape will stay there forever! You have two more days to link your entries for this month's challenge here.

Its now time to say my final goodbyes. I've had a wonderful journey last two years with a very talented bunch of fellow designers and so much love from all of you for which I'm ever grateful. A huge thank you to Karuna, who trusted me (more than I did) with an invitation to join her DT at the time when I had just started scrapbooking. I will miss working with you.

Here are my favourite projects from this year.

This mini album is definitely top of the list for me as I discover the possibilities of creating interest with textures (minus wet media) You can see all the pages here and tutorial here.

Memory keeping is what attracted me to scrapbooking in the first place and I'm thoroughly enjoying creating in this altered book journal. You can see two more pages of this book here and here.

This year I made more cards than layouts. Click here to see closies of each card.

Another card which I really enjoyed making. Wish I had an endless supply of these cherubs. You can read through the tutorial here.

Finally, a reverse canvas inspired by the sea. More pictures and details here.

When I was going through my projects trying to choose favourites, it was easy to see how much my style has evolved through my time as a Lulu Pooh thanks to encouragement from my wonderful fellow DTs - Manu, Tanvi, Neha, Dolly and Karuna and all of you who read my posts and leave me comments - they mean so much to me.

I will continue to share my art journey on my blog - theColourPress and will be super thrilled if you visit me there.

Wishing you all a joyous 2016.

Au revoir,

Kripa

Washi Tape Ideas & a Goodbye!

Good Morning!

Tanvi here today & sadly this is my very last post here.

This month the focus is on Washi tapes & Mod Podge, both very versatile products. Lulupu has a huge collection on washis in the store. These tapes are so handy to decorate/alter a project in a jiffy.

The summer fun 2 washi tape in my DT kit was just right to make a travel journal cover. I neatly covered the book with washi tape & embellished the cover. Over a period of time washi tape loses it tackiness & that’s where mod podge comes to the rescue!

I have added mod podge dimensional magic to the label die cut & polaroid wood veneer. The postcard & postal stamp are embellies I made with shrink plastic.

The antique 'passport' charm was a perfect addition to the page marker.

This is the back of the journal -

I also altered my mobile phone cover similarly &    have put together a pictorial for this - 

Glue several strips of washi tape diagonally to the phone cover until the back is covered as desired.

To add a bit of color I partly used a different washi tape.

With a craft knife, trim off the excess tape to get a neat finish.

Cut around the edge of the camera hole and also other slits on the cover. Add another layer of Mod-Podge to seal the washi tape. Let it dry for 24 hours and there you are, a one of a kind phone cover!

Remember you still have time to enter the current challenge. 

Challenge # 56: Deck up your home

                                       

  As I mentioned, this is my last post here and time to say a final goodbye.

Thank you, Karuna, for the opportunity to work for Lulupu, the incredible support you always gave us & the freedom to think & execute made the tenure at Lulupu so much rewarding! Best wishes for your future endeavors. Lots of love to little “K” too! 
Kripa, Manu, Dolly and Neha, you have all been such inspiring and supportive teamies, let’s all stay in touch!

And lastly, sincere thanks to all the readers for constant support & encouragement. I will be active on my blog and FaceBook page, so stay connected !

Leaving you with some projects which I enjoyed making. 

                          The colours, the textures, the embellishments, loved everything but this clock.

This was one project with which I had a really hard time with, but loved the outcome. 

I had so much fun making this interactive baby album.

This tag book album is very special as I made my first video tutorial!

 

Thats it from me! Good bye :-)

Christmas Canvas with modpodge and washi tape

Hello friends,

Kripa here with my take on this month's challenge

Deck up your Home

(Click here to read the full post on the challenge)

My take is a Christmas themed canvas that can be used as a table décor.

The background is a Christmas themed gift wrap tissue glued down with mod podge and white gesso. Next Iore several pieces of washi tape - Gold Dotted Japanese Washi Tape, Gold Script Japanese Washi Tape, Glitter Light Gold Japanese Washi Tape before applying clear embossing paste through a stencil. Once dried, add more torn washi tape for extra texture and black to balance.

Also used washi tape to cut out paper bows for embellishments.

Mod Podge Matte 4 oz
Gesso - Sakura Acrylic Tube
Glitter Light Gold Japanese Washi Tape
Koi Water Brushes Medium

Coasters with Washi Tape and Mod Podge - Tutorial

Hello dear readers!

How are you all doing? It’s the month of  festivities, Christmas is here and it’s time to decorate our houses and enjoy some family time! Our theme for this month is to ‘Deck up the halls’ and we would love to see how you would create stuff for decorating your homes. Remember, to use washi tape and mod podge to create your projects and win some awesome goodies from Lulupu!

Challenge # 56: Deck up your home

For my project this month, I was going crazy, since washi tape and mod podge is such a hit combination. There is so much you can do. I chose to make some easy coffee table coasters for inspiration.

I have used different washi tapes and some pattern paper to make these coasters. You would need some stiff cardstock (I wanted to try making these with tiles, but unfortunately, I couldn’t find them at the local store), some felt paper for the backing, washi tapes, and the all-time best– Mod Podge. Just follow the pictorial below and I am sure you will be itching to create some of your own. These are great as gifts to your family and friends too!

Use the washi tapes to cover the surface of the cardstock and add a thin coat of mod podge to seal them. As you can see, I have tried different patterns with the same washi tapes. You can also try to mix and match with different combinations of washi tapes. The felt paper is added to the back side of the coasters to help it make anti- slip!

I also tried using patterned paper for a couple of my coasters and I loved how they turned out. I followed the same process of adding the patterned paper on the cardstock followed by adding a coat of mod podge to give the final finish.

For this coaster, I wanted to make it Christmas themed, hence I used a red cardstock to cover the base and then heat embossed some snow flake. After letting it cool down for a few minutes, I added a thin coat of mod podge to coat the top. Doesn’t it look so cute!

Here's how the coasters look :)

So, I hope you guys are already rushing to your craft room to make yourself and your friends some cute coasters!

Don’t forget to link your projects for this month’s challenge!

Love and warm hugs!

Dolly

Altered Bottle

Good Morning!

This is Tanvi, with my interpretation of the theme - Deck up your Home-Challenge#56.

I have an altered bottle - 

After a good wash in warm water I sponged gesso on the bottle & then painted it with chalk paint (again with a sponge). Lulupu store has an amazing range of Mod podge and lovely prints of washi tapes. Check them out here. My DT kit had some lovely washis & I used this awesome glitter washi tape to jazz up the nexk of the bottle. The jute twine & washi were held tight with Mod Podge. Added some charms & sequins too.

On the front of the bottle I glued some die cut from a Tilda paper pack & did some random stamping all around the bottle using coffee archival ink. 

Hope you like this project & join our last challenge of 2015. Please link your projects in the post here & find all the rules here.

Hugs,

Tanvi!
