So let's get started! You should have arrived here from Annette's Blog! If you are just starting out, please start out at the Pretty Little Studio Blog.

I have to admit I was a little nervous, because this was my first time working with the Pretty Little Studio Die Cuts, but once I got started, I fell in LOVE!! And it was even more fun, mixing the Die Cuts with the Love My Tape Washi Tapes and Lace Tapes. I created a layout, card, and tag with both products.

I used the LMT Washi Tape on my layout to create two pleated flowers. I cut a 2 inch and 1.5 inch circle from cardstock, and then pleated the Washi Tape from the outside edge of the circle, to the center. I finished it off by adding a wooden button to the center.

Supplies Used: Patterned Paper: Studio Calico & Dear Lizzy; Die Cuts: Pretty Little Studio; Washi Tape: Love My Tapes; Thickers: American Crafts; Font: Pacifico; Enamel Dots: My Mind's Eye; Buttons: Stampin' Up; Flair Button: PandaEightDesigns; Wood Veneer: Freckled Fawn; Chevron Mask: Studio Calico; Baker's Twine: Maya Road

For my card, I used one of the Lace Tapes and just pleated it across the center, to add a little bit of texture.

I used the Pink Polka Dot Washi Tape on my tag, to create the little "tassel" at the top. I adhered the Washi Tape to the front and backside of a strip of White cardstock. Then I cut along the edge and folded the piece in half and a off center.
