"And the answer is....."

Drywall tape. I've got another card that uses a piece of drywall tape, just because I'm really liking the look of it on the kraft and it's going into Just Us Girls #188 this morning. If you go back and look at this post, you'll see the first card I made using it, which was inspired by the Magic Mesh used on this card. So after I finished the card with the Magic Mesh on it, I thought, why not...I know I've got a roll or two of this stuff in the tool room downstairs. And it worked! My sister uses it for scrapbooking, and I'll show you her technique after the JUGs card.

Saturday before I went to have a completely wonderful day early Mother's Day with the kiddos in Madison, I stopped at Archivers. (poor me--not!) I haven't been happy with my white stamp pads, and asked one of the helpers which they recommended. She chose a Stayzon Opaque white. Tried it this morning on this card:

Not sure if I like it better, (the ink, that is) but at least it didn't fade too much. Scraps of red, kraft, and a Bazzill base. The stamp is PTI. 

Here is what my sister does:

Cut a strip of drywall tape

Here, I've used some chipboard letters, but Sue also used letters she's cut out with her Cricut. There are two sides to the tape, with one being a smidge more sticky. That's the side to stick the letters (or what ever you want to be pretty straight) on. And naturally, they should be backwards. Add your adhesive when you are satisfied that everything is straight.

Flip over and press onto your creation. Gently peel off drywall tape. And that's what Sue does. Gotta run, but email me with any questions. Happy dances everyone.
