Quick Tip: Faux Washi Tape

Hi there TSR friends! Aphra here today to share a quick and easy tip with you. It's great for your Project Life cards as well as scrapbook pages and cards. Faux washi tape!

First, as for supplies, you need a pair of scissors and a small strip of patterned paper. I used the two narrow strips from the bottom edge of the Pink Paislee Market square paper that came in the November Project Life Kit.

Use your scissors to cut a wavy, beveled edge at both ends of a short strip of paper. The idea is to make it look like you tore off a piece of washi tape. Then adhere that strip onto your project as though it is holding down a photo or card. Here is my example.

Such a simple little trick, but I love how it really grounds the coordinating puffy stickers that came in this kit. So before you throw away the perforated strips of paper that come on the edges of your 12x12 paper sheets, see if you can use a bit for some faux washi tape.

Quick Tip: Straight Letters

Hi there friends.  I thought I would pop in for a second to share a quick tip that I use for adhering my alphabet stickers so that they will be straight.  All you need is a clear ruler.  First, I adhere the letters onto the ruler using the marks for spacing and to keep them straight.

Then I hold the ruler over the area where I want them to go.  Being able to see through the ruler helps me find just the right spot and helps me keep them straight.

I lay down the ruler and push the tops of the letters so that they are stuck down well.  Then while holding my hand over the tops of the letters, I carefully peel the ruler off the bottom of the letters.  

I hope you are able to use this quick and easy trick for adhering your letters nice and straight.  Thanks for stopping by!
