On the demos all goes well but I find dble sided tape always messes me up and I stick it in the wrong position . I have sometimes used Uhu sticks (sorry are we allowed to mention brand names?) but just wondered having messed up a card yet again using tape . .

Like to be able to move it a bit just in case. Always impressed when I see people like Joanna putting everything on with the double sided stuff!

Try just peeling back a little of each strip and place it then peel off the rest of the tape. It gives you a better chance of lining it up. HTH

I also use the tape dispenser pens.

Gill, I bought a large bottle of PVA glue when I first started 2 years ago and as well as giving some to my friends, I am still using it. Just decant it into a smaller bottle and get a thin tip applicator and a stainless steel pin as a stopper. Hope that help. Carol x

I find now with Maturity ie old age in my case I have lost my "straight "eye and even with a sewing machine I don't sew straight any more .

Even if I do the trick with the DST of peeling back the corners I still get it wonky! I find PVA too wet and if it seems out from under the paper you can't remove it as easily as you can with the photoglue. I always seem to end up with wrinkled paper when I used PVA. Maybe that just me. It was when I was just learning. I found the sticking thing one of the most complicated things. Got to the stage where i just tried and if it didn't work out, move on to something else. I started using photoglue after a whole batch of my Christmas cards were wonky and I just couldn't bear it any longer. I just don't do straight without it!!! Goog luck and enjoy Love Jill x

I realised that probably every one of those cards that year fell apart on my friends and relatives. How embarrassing. I use Wendy's peel back technique - I don't forget too often having made too many mistakes. Jxx
