I'm so happy you're here!
Get ready for a serious mess and sticky fingers, because we're making TEXTURED TAPE!
And the best part? Once your custom tape is ready, the sky's the limit for how you use it. You can add it as a tiny, tactile detail on cards, photos, or other ephemera, or let it take center stage as a bold highlight on a journal cover. It looks incredible layered over stamped backgrounds, and you can even build an entire collage out of nothing but these textured strips. These are just a few ideas to get you started - the possibilities are truly endless.
Ready? Take your ticket, scan the code and let's go!
TEXTURED TAPE.
MESSY. UNIQUE. YOURS.
This episode is all about the beauty of the experiment. Using simple tools, basic materials, and a 'try-anything' mindset, we'll turn ordinary surfaces into something extraordinary.
I'm going to show you how to create unique, tactile tape using just a few supplies and... well, whatever else you find lying around. There are no rules here - only endless possibilities.

Here’s what you’ll need for this episode: clear or white sticker paper, wash away embroidery stabilizer, a sprayable medium like for example distress spray stain and/or oxide spray, a water spray bottle, for the texture: things like thread, lace, little beads, artificial snow, shredded paper... everything that doesn't disolve in water will work! If you want, you can additionally take out some stamps and ink pads.
