The Decorista Chronicles//DIY Floral Deco Tape!

 Ahoy there, matey! 

I daresay that you must have a beautiful paper napkin stash in you DIY trousseau if you are a craftypants like me because, okay, don't get me started on everything you can do with napkins! Decoupage? Yes please! But when you combine that with the mighty warrior of crafty supplies, washi tape, here's what you get. 

A very vintage, a very floral, a very classy deco tape that can be used in a  jabillion ways.

DIRECTIONS:

1.Get your supplies ready, masking tape, scissors (in two different sizes, big and small for normal and delicate cuts), cute printed napkins and glue.

2.Cut out the pattern on the napkins. Of course , mine had to have vintage roses on it given I have a retard obsession for 'em.

3.Glue down the cut-outs onto the tape. I would suggest doing a clear finish of modpodge on top too; but I didn't have that handy at the moment.

4.Voila, wrap fabulous presents, update blah decor or restyle mediocre accessories to fashion statements. You've got your very own gorgeously florastic masking tape for cheap!

And because it's masking tape, you can untape it when you're feeling a different trend hottening you up.

But really, I don't think I would ever tire up of my tape. Look what I made with it!

Onto the drawer of my side table, it looks so refreshingly spring, not to mention 13198089829 times better in real life than in the picture.

Eternal spring in my bedroom, yeehaaa!

And if you are into scrapbooking this is just as fabulous for that too.

I got this napkin pack from Ikea, and I think I might end up making more of my tape from a riot of colors and patterns.

What would you do with yours?

Happy inspirations and pin this if it sparked your next idea!

The Freebie Jubilee//Free Printable Earthy-toned gorgeousness!

Because it's been raining cats and dogs over here in India, and the wi-fi effortlessly gets cranky, I've been waiting about a week to actually do this post for you guys.
On one hand, I'm smitten by the glorious weather with chilly winds and monsoon blooms, I've been dying to launch my newest collection which turned next to impossible with the electricity cutting down at the most random times!

Annyyywayyy, all that climate inspired such a drool-worthy earthy-hued collection. This collection is going to be nostalgic to me later on because it was born out of the rosy buds that sprung this season by our Villa's courtyard and the chocolatey tones of the rain-sodden soil, add to that the lush green of the leaves springing everywhere!

So cheer up a loved one with some uber-sweet giftwrap or scrapbook your fav memories on these sheets. If not that, use it to hip up any of your other creations!
And lastly, if you find the papers too printer-heavy, then download the co-ordinating labels to dress up your gifts and accessories!

Happy creating!

I would have loved to put up a snapshot of the my courtyard over here, but I guess I'll keep that for the next post!
