Double-Side Adhesive & Glitter


I just got some Scor-Tape in stock, so I wanted to share some ways to use it. These pictures & ideas are from the Scor-Pal web site.


Inset techniques are done by combining different width Scor-Tape™. Glitter used: Grasshopper, Regal Red and Moss Green on gold brushed cardstock (see pictures below).

Step 1:

Lay down the widest piece of tape. Remove the backing being careful not to touch the adhesive with your finger tips. The point of a craft knife works well for this.

Step 2:

Lay down a narrower piece of Scor-Tape™ exactly in the middle. DO NOT REMOVE THE BACKING.

Step 3:

Glitter the exposed stickiness. BURNISH!

Step 4.

Remove the backing of the narrow width Scor-Tape™ and glitter in a different color. Burnish.

If you want to use 3 widths.

Step 4 would read : Remove the backing of the narrow tape EXPOSING THE STICKINESS. Lay down yet a narrower piece of Scor-Tape. DO NOT REMOVE THE COVERING.

Step 5:

Glitter exposed stickiness. BURNISH!

Step 6:

Remove backing on this third tape and glitter in a third color. BURNISH!






The far left picture shows 1/4" tape with 1/8" tape inset. The 2nd picture shows 1/2" tape with 1/4" tape inset.















This picture shows 1/2" tape with 1/8" tape insert, and the 4th picture shows all 3 sizes used.

















Also, I'd like to suggest trying different colors of glitter, as in this sample below that I made using multiple colors of glitter. Now, I didn't make the butterfly, but I did want to mount it on a card, so I put down 2 strips of 1/2" double-sided tape and then randomly added colors of glitter to match the butterfly.

And, if your tape is heat-resistant, (Scor-Tape is heat-resistant), you could also add embossing powder & heat. And, you could also any tiny micro beads to the tape too!
















I have the Scor-Tape in 1/8", 1/4", and 1/2" widths as well as the 6" x 6" sheets which can be punched and cut for a variety of uses.
