I have a question for you ladies who make cards. What is
your favorite type of glue? What do you use to put decorative
paper onto the card stock? I am a beginner and need some good
advise. I received this great card making book that has wonderful
ideas but they didn't tell you how to put the cards together.
Thanks for any help. Toni |

Toni,
Double sided adhesive on a roller . . I like "Duck" the best. I use that in spots on the back and then finish off with glue stick over the entire surface. I think UHU is the best.

I agree with CJ about the double sided tape stuff. It works really well.
It's all good! |

Glue sticks and glue gun for adding things like bows, buttons, and things that are a bit heavy. I just posted two cards on my blog that I made.

Toni,
"Duck" is the brand . . green box, red applicator. Been able to get at JoAnns. Used to be able to get at Walmart, but no longer. I just get when I go to Phoenix or have my daughter get them for me.
UHU is the brand of glue stick . . . yellow tube.
Other glue sticks work too, however I like UHU best. I also avoid the colored glue sticks . . . the blue ones do NOT turn clear. I don't about the purple ones . . . leery of trying them.
Hope that helps!!

Double sided tape is my favorite also. I also use the glue dots, and pop-up dots for heavier/dimensional items.
Enjoy your new book!

I think you can get glue dots at some of the Dollar Trees. They have some nice scrapbook stuff too.
It's all good! |

You may already be familiar with this site, but splitcoaststampers is a great place for ideas. Thousands of card making, scrapbooking, and paper crafting ideas. A very dangerous place! :)
