Double Sided Adhesive Tape

Double sided adhesive tape is a great adhesive to use in your paper crafting.

"This super strong adhesive (Sticky Strip) is perfect for holding things together...
~Stampin' Up!"

Double sided adhesive tape (also known as Sticky Strip) is a strong papercraft tape from Stampin' Up! that allows you to be confident that your embellishments and photos will stay where you want them to be. It is also very good to use when building paper boxes or other 3-d items that require strength at adhered seams.

This adhesive comes in rolls and you cut off pieces as needed. I always cut a piece and place it on my project before peeling off the protective backing as anything other than Sticky Strip becomes very difficult to handle without its backing paper. Lots of other brands are more like a gel without that backing sheet, and can curl, fold, stick to itself and warp before you can place it where it is needed because it is so light. Sticky Strip doesn't lift, curl, distort, curl or wrinkle.

Another great thing about Sticky Strip is that the sticky part is heat or pressure activated. If you have trouble separating the red part from the sticky part, just press your warm finger onto the end of the strip before trying to peel up the red bit. The heat and pressure from your own finger will activate the glue and allow you to peel away the backing without any trouble. Yes, this really does work!

This tape has some great features. For example:

• It is made in rolls about 9.1m long
• It is a double sided, pressure sensitive adhesive
• It is very strong, so is perfect for sticking die-cut boxes together
• It comes in a zippered plastic bag for easy storage
• You can stick down buttons or do some heavy cardstock layering using this kind of adhesive
• It's acid free so is good for scrapbooking and using on photos
• It is extra tacky so works well on ribbon for cardmaking

I find a little of this tape goes a long way.
