Washi tape is BIG in crafting right now. Decorated with polka dots, chevron stripes, hearts, even underground maps of London, you can get a roll of it in almost any pattern you can imagine.

We love washi tape, but, with a roll that is only one width, it's pretty limited. So, we set out to create a more versatile washi tape that lets you cut into any shape you want.

And, we did it! Meet Shape 'N Tape! It is the very latest from Lifestyle Crafts, and we are very excited to tell you about it! Some of you may have previewed and even played with the Shape 'N Tape that came with the Knotty and Nice Gift Sets or tried the entire Knotty/Nice Shape 'N Tape pack ... but that was just the begining. We now have ten new varieties of Shape 'N Tape color packs, and they all work with any cutting die!
 

Each sheet of Shape 'N Tape is 6" x 12" and is the same texture and thickness as traditional washi tape. Shape 'N Tape has an added removable backing to make it easy for you to cut out with any die your heart desires! Shape 'N Tape comes in 10 different color sets with 5 full sheets of Shape 'N Tape in each. Each color has four patterns that are common among all of the colors and one pattern that is unique to its color. In these photos, the unique pattern for that specific color pack is the top sheet.

You can cut Shape 'N Tape with the dies you already own, but we have also created a new set of dies called Tape It Kit dies designed to cut the tape into some fun designs. If you want a heart, we've got a die for that, if you want a cornerpiece, we've got a die for that. A gift tag? Yep! We even have dies that will cut Shape 'N Tape into the traditional rough edged strip of tape you have come to love! Check out our brand new Tape It Kit, designed to cut Shape 'N Tape into everything from pennants to labels! 

Share our news on your Facebook page, Twitter, or by pinning any of the images above to Pinterest and then comment "I shared this post on [where you shared it here]" on this post, and we will randomly choose one reader to win a color pack of Shape 'N Tape of their choice! Hurry and comment! CONTEST ENDS JANUARY 9, 2013 at 11:59 PM, and the winner will be announced Jan 10 !!

These days, many brides-to-be are taking control of their wedding from the top down, everything from their décor and wedding cake, to the party favors and invitations. Why this push towards a more hands-on approach? There are several reasons.

Budget

With the tough economic times and the rising cost of products and services in the wedding industry, many brides find that DIY craft projects are the best way to stick to their budget.

Creativity & Individuality

More and more brides see their wedding as an opportunity to show off their creativity. DIY weddings allow the bride to put a personal stamp on the special day. 

Fun

Most importantly, it’s fun! Many brides love the challenge of DIY craft projects, and a wedding is a perfect way to throw a party that’s all you and your husband.
