Welcome to Technique Week, Day 1! This is Felicitas and I’m here today to share a cool technique how to create matching customized “masking tape” stripes with your favorite Pink Paislee papers…let’s start:
Supply list, “masking tape”:
Vintage Vogue – Dress Shop
Vintage Vogue – Taffeta
Nantucket – Oyster Bar
Nantucket – Crab Cakes
Snow Day – Fireside
scissors, clear sticky tape, bowl of water
Step 1: Messure the width of you sticky tape and cut some paper stripes.
Step 2: Press the tape on the paper stripes. Make sure that your favorite print is on the top.
Step 3: With a bonefolder or your scissors holder just rub over the tape and give it a good pressure.
Step 4: Put the tape stripe into the water and let it soak in a few seconds.
Step 5: Make sure that the paper side is up and then just slidely start rubbing the paper off.
Step 6: Rub until all paper pieces are in the water and there is only the very thin printed layer left on the tape. Then you take the tape stripe out of the water and let it dry.
Step 7: If you want to, you can fake the torn edged look to get a real “masking tape” effect.
Result: Repeat step 2 to 7 with the other paper stripes and get a cute collection of tapes out of your favorite Pink Paislee paper collections. As you can see I layed an kraft tag under the stripes, so you can see that the tape is kind of transparent.
This is it, the “tape” isn’t sticky any longer BUT with some glue it’s ready for your projects!
I used the stripes on a scrapbooking page: Love that effect and I hope you give it a try.

Good idea–basically a tape transfer. Somebody really needs to proofread before posting. I had a bit of a hard time following because of either misspellings or incorrect word usage. Just a thought.
