yay! today i am the first featured fan on the Love My Tapes blog!! i recently won some of their double sided adhesive on their blog and i tried it out immediately. LOVED the results! the above card, i used it to adhere everything (except that 'i love my teacher' sticker) including the ribbon. just a little strip is all i needed to hold the ribbon in place on the backside of the top note. (supplies: love my tapes, top note, DCWV, offray, american crafts, sakura, chipboard-unknown)
this card above, all is adhered by the double sided adhesive including that handmade flower in the corner. a quickie on how to make that: punch out or cut a circle to your desired size. then i applied the double sided adhesive tape runner to cover the circle. cut out thin strips of paper and just fold and twist. lastly, start circling the twisted strip around the circle pressing down to the adhesive to form your flower. easy right? (supplies: love my tapes, recollections, K&Co., prima, CB, vintage trim, american crafts, brads, manilla tag, CB, crochet string, chipboard-unknown)
it also holds chipboard well. here is my ribbon flower stem. i just ran the tape runner down the rik rac. did it without stretching the ribbon. (supplies: love my tapes, CB, ric rak, studio 18, chipboard-unknown)
here is a repeat of this card that was in the previous post again. i wanted to mention that using the tape runner down the ribbon did not distort it at all. other adhesive tape runners that i've used in the past would always stretch out or warp the ribbon making it look crooked. glue dots are fast and easy but that would show through. (love my tapes, hero arts, imaginisce, american crafts, ribbon, chipboard-unknown)thanks so much for looking today! be sure to check in on the Love My Tapes blog for more projects and products!

You are the perfect spokeperson for this lovely tape product! I wish I could easily buy something like that here. I must look harder for it! My favorite product as of now is the Glossy Accent by Ranger. I pretty much use it on everything that I can get my hands on :) except ..I haven't put them on my family!
Virginis'a comment made me laugh - I also love glossy accents and have had to restrain myself from glossing my cat :)
But my favourite products at the moment are my nesties - Labels 1 and Labels 8 and I just got the blossoms set too. LOVE them.
Congrats on your feature Ivy - love all 4 of your pretty pretty cards.
Ivy!
What a wonderful feature on you and your beautiful cards! You are so talented!! I love all four of them! I love glue adhesives,bling and my CB. I also have so many new products I want to try! Thanks for having blog candy!
I went to visit Love My Tapes after I saw your flower card and I LOVE them! It looks so cool and I'll have to try them out soon!
As for my tried & true supplies.. I ALWAYS tend to turn to my Nesties.. I rarely make a card without them these days!
Great cards and congrats on being featured! :o)

wow! very delightful cards, Ivy!! LOVE the colors that you used on the first two cards!! I am using a lot of Glossy Accents as my adhesive as well. I love my T!m Holtz distress inks and my Nesties! I don't think I can live without my nesties!! =) Congrats on being featured!!! LOVE your cards!!
Wow! look at you! Do you work for them? He, he, he! FABBY projects, lady! Fab!
My tried and true products: I am going to say my Adtech runner. Couldn't live without it, but then, I haven't tried your fabby tapes yet, lol! I also LOVE stickles! I love their tiny tips for more precise placement and SO much pizzazz!! I also have to say that I LOVE my cuttle bug. ::sigh:: there is rarely a crafty day that goes by that I don't reach for a folder or a nestie.
Fabby cards and congrats on being featured! My favorites are by beloved Cuttlebug and Nestabilities (just bought Label 6 today) heehee!
Adhesive products are very important. I love that you are sharing this information. I would have to say that my favorite products right now are: All the detail embossing powders, any Nestabilities and the new favorite stamp from Hero Arts, CL377, Be Happy!
Love your cards! I am going to have to look for some of that tape - I'm always looking for a good adhesive besides my ATG tape and judging by what you have to say about it, this just might be it. One of my favorite things to use are punches. Lately I have become a fan of the Martha Stewart border and Punch Around the Page punches. So many cute designs and a good use of my Michael's 40% off coupons!
Ivy...how cool is it that you are featured on the tape blog!!! WOnderful cards...so fun and cheerful!!! My "can't live without" products are Glossy Accents by Ranger...I use it as glue and for gloss! Also my nestabilities are almost always on a card! Hugs, TRace
Wow, tried and true products, where to begin: adtech runner, cuttlebug, nesties, embossing folders, stickles, copics, sheer ribbon, Martha Stewart border punches, cropadile. ok I have said way too much. LOL Oh yeah and the blank cards in the dollar bin at Target they always have some cute pattern on the front then I dress it up with embellies and a stamped image for a quick card - could not live without those. haha
Big hugs and congrats, Ivy! How exciting to be the first featured fan! Love your cards and it's nice to know about quality products firsthand. You know I love my Nesties and I just can't wait for Tim's new distress colors! Sooo yummy!
Ivy, I love your cards and I also get a kick out of the pictures of your adorable kids!! They are so cute and make such great faces!
woot woot to you girlie...I literally gasped out loud when I saw your cards...soooo very happy for you...nice pic too:)
Lovin' all your cards...soooo fresh & fun!
tried and true products? Hmmm...I love the 'ole quicky glue pen...and my sewing machine:)
Do I have to choose only 1 product?? I love my nesties, my silhouette, tombow liquid glue, and of course my stickles!!! Love glitters on my cards. :)
Stickles are by far my fave product, but I'm also loving the new spritz by Smooch. The paint I'm not a big fan of, but the spray is cool!
ps loooovvveee all of your cards above!
WooHoo... big congrats for being featured, Ivy!! Big hugs to you!! Love all of your cards, so fun and beautiful... you totally ROCK!!
My fave product will have to be my Cuttlebug and Nestabilities!!
I'm always on the lookout for good adhesive and actually anything crafty:)
My first thought was Glossy Accents for one of my favorite crafty items - love it as adhesive - boy it sticks... and how neat it is as an accent. Now I'm thinking of what's in my plastic drawers and those Distressed inks - couldn't do without em.
How wonderful, Ivy, being the first one featured on the Love my Tapes Blog! How Fun!! Loving your cards, you showed off the product very well, I think I should check it out. As for my favorite product, it's got to be my Tim Holtz Tonic scissors, they totally revolutionized my crafting life!
blessings and kudos to you,
nancy
Congrats on being featured on that blog!!! And thanks for your giveaway! I love my Distress inks and I want badly to extend my collection with the new ones!!! It's funny because when I first purchased one of them (and I new nothing about it in fact) I got quickly discouraged and my ink was somewhere in my stash. And look now, I can't live without them!
Hey Ivy how are you? Just popping in to tell you how I'm just loving all these awesome cards...so happy and so cheerful!!!! Please don't include me in your giveaway...and big congrats for your feature..so deserving Hugs,Kathy
Congratulations to you! Love these fun cards. I've been looking for adhesive that works easily for ribbon, so I think I need to try this tape. . . I think my favorite craft supply at the moment is the DCWV Mariposa stack that I just got for Valentine's Day, lots of pretty butterfly images and rich colors. This is my first time visiting your blog; it is so cute.
Congrats on your feature Ivy - love all 4 of your pretty pretty cards.
