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 .

If you are matting and layering or covering a card with paper first what do you use to stick it down ? On the demos all goes well but

I usually use glue for the base paper, like you I would never get it right with tape lol. 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!

Dst without a doubt. 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 am hooked on using the collall photo glue, marvelous stuff, plus you have the ability to move things around before it sticks firm. I also use the tape
dispenser pens.

I do like the double sided tape, but I've also used glue sticks, sticky dots and photo glue, which is repositionable.

I always use double sided tape and use the method you so often she Wendy Stenton using - pull back a couple of cm`s of the backing and fold at an angle - do
this on all 4 corners and then place the topper or paper down - make sure it`s straight - adjust if you`re not happy with it as it`s not fully stuck down at
this stage and then pull the tape backing off

I'm with Tina and the collall photo glue. Although my sticky dots are blooming handy if you get curling corners.

on your cutting mat and use the lines as a guide.
