Moxie Fab World Challenge: Get Daring with Decorative Tape

Before the March/April issue moves onto center stage, I just had to squeeze in one more challenge from the moxie stellar January/February issue, friends.

Hotter than hot, decorative tape is all the rage. Paper Crafts Go-to Gal Kim Kesti has come up with some amazing ideas for how to incorporate this pretty sticky stuff into paper crafted projects that will definitely help you "stick" with this trend. Check it:

Pleat and ruffle tape for fast flowers and textured borders.

Make rosettes by twisting tape.

Create interesting texture by stamping over decorative tape.

Frame accents with semi-transparent patterned tape.

Overlap patterned tape to create unique borders.

Border-punch tape and affix directly to your project for a quick accent.

Affix tape to cardstock and die cut for fun sentiments and focal points.

Create self-adhesive photo corners in one easy step.

Attach accents with tape for a playful look.

Aren't these great ideas? Here are two projects from the issue that Kim created that are great examples of how to incorporate these techniques into your projects:
