Mini magazine holder and folders!

Hi everyone!
How has everyone been ?
This is Hussena here :)
 A new month is upon us and we have a very exciting and fun challenge at Lulupu hosted by our extremely talented  DT member, Jaya which is "Anything goes with 3 or more Washi Tapes". So, I'm here to inspire you with my take on our challenge theme. I'll start by sharing some photographs and then going on to explain what I've made, so here goes :

 The mini magazine holder with the folders.
I have made two right now but plan on making more as I definitely will be needing more space to hold my die collection.
I googled for the measurements on how to make a mini magazine holder and there are lot of options out there. I just picked up the one which was easiest to follow. :P
Once I created the base of the magazine holder, I had a lot of fun embellishing it with my favorite Washi tapes and dies.
The pink flower is handmade using Spellbinder's Rose Creations die. 

 The insides of the folder :


The base of these folders is made from the central panel of the cereal box. I cut out the side portion and scored the middle portion into half to create my folder in which I've stored my dies.

The inside of the folder I covered with a plain white paper and the outside with pattern paper and embellished it with few of my favorite Washi's and a little bit of floral arrangement. I also created a pocket on one side of the folder, in which I could store my dies as shown above.

Memories Box with Washi Tape

Hello Beautiful Crafters,
Shilpa here,
Hope you are liking our Lulupu Challenge # 37
Anything with Washi
And you must have enjoyed fabulous video tutorial by my mixed media expert teammate Jaya, if not pls watch it here.
Today its my turn, to post a inspiration project with washi tape. and I have come up with  'Memories Box'


Lulupu has the huge and beautiful collection of Washi tapes. You can find them all here. 
Few ideas - how you can use washi tapes in your craft....

  • Use creatively on your cards
  • Make book marks
  • Apply washi tapes on Gift bags/ envelopes
  • Decorate your journals/ Memory books
  • Make embellishments - Banners, small flags, cloth pins decoration, or on binder pins
  • Recycle jars, tins with just applying different varieties of washi tapes
  • Can use them on tea light
  • Make personalized gift sets 
Use your imagination and show your best way to use Washi

Let's move on to my project


I adhered  3-4 washi tapes on my white box. Washi tapes are non - permanent adhesives, and to make it permanent I coated the box with Mod podge. I love texture..love!  I created it with crafters workshop stencil and Wendy Vecchi embossing paste. I colored the textured designs with Gelatos. I applied pink color at the edges with Prima chalk Edgers.


Next I worked with this super gorgeous paper pad from Kaisercraft- Confetti   All papers in this collection are fascinating. I cut them to size required with my We are Memory Trim and score board. I made some tags too. I distressed edges with Comfort distressing tool and created layers with them by attaching foam tabs underneath.
Flowers and brads are from Prima


I decorated the inside box flap with  paper layers, Prima resin clock and flowers.


Hope you liked my project with washi.
