Simple, Clean, and Fun: My First Tape Runner Design Team Card

I’m excited to be sharing my first card as a Design Team member for Tape Runner! For this project, I wanted to work with several layers of pattern paper to really show how simple, clean, and effortless card assembly can be when using Tape Runner adhesive.

I used My Favorite Things Little Buddies, featuring an adorable image of a little boy cuddling his sweet kitty. I colored the image with Copic markers, keeping the palette soft and playful, and then pulled out coordinating pattern papers to bring the whole design together.

All of the elements used to create today's card.

Creating the Background & Pattern Paper Layers

Using a stitched square die, I cut an orange patterned paper from Lawn Fawn for the card’s background. A coordinating blue piece was trimmed to 2.25" x 4.5" and attached with Tape Runner adhesive, making the layering process smooth and precise.

Using Tape Runner adhesive, I attached the blue panel horizontally, slightly above center. The adhesive applied smoothly and held instantly, making it easy to line everything up perfectly without slipping or curling.

Assembling the Focal Point

Next, I die cut a stitched circle from white cardstock and added a grass border along the bottom using the La-La Land Crafts Scene Border Die. Both pieces were adhered with Tape Runner adhesive, making it easy to layer everything precisely and securely.

I then attached this piece to a Zig Zag Circle Dies from Pink and Main using more Tape Runner adhesive. Layering the focal elements was simple and clean, with no glue mess or drying time needed.

Adding the Sentiment & Finishing Touches

The sentiment was stamped in black ink on white cardstock, cut with a fishtail die, and adhered to the bottom of the panel with Tape Runner adhesive. I finished the card with a few clear iridescent sequins for subtle sparkle. Tape Runner adhesive made even small embellishments easy to attach and kept everything neat and secure.

Using Tape Runner adhesive throughout this project made assembly quick, easy, and stress-free. From layering pattern papers to building the focal elements and adding the sentiment, everything stayed flat, secure, and perfectly aligned. Tape Runner is a staple in my craft room, and I’m so excited to continue creating and sharing projects as part of the Tape Runner Design Team.
