A question!
But before I ask the question I thought I would tell you that the latest posting that I did yesterday was our 1000th post on this blog. It soon mounts up doesn't it.
Now - the question. A couple of weeks ago I had an email from a club member thanking me for her birthday card but letting me know (because she thought I would want to know) that the insert had become unstuck from inside the card. So the question is - have any of you had this problem with a card from me. I really would like you tell me if you have - just email me - or place a comment in this post. If it is happening quite a bit I will need to change the way I do it. Currently I use double-sided sticky tape.
The reason I am asking you now rather than a couple of weeks ago - I had intended to ask when writing a post, but kept forgetting to include it. Now the problem has increased.
Yesterday I showed you a photo of the lovely pillow boxes I have made for my wedding reception. Last night I noticed one of them on the top had come unstuck so made a note to re-stick it this morning. When I sat down to do it - ALL but 3 of the boxes had popped open like mussels in a pan. So as I sat sticking them all down again the 3 that hadn't come unstuck were sat on the table - but then with the sun shining on them - they too popped open.
All are safely re-stuck (I hope - fingers crossed), I used pva glue & I have moved them out of the sunlight. If it is down to the tape I will have to stop using it - I bought several reels from a very reputable company - so I am a little mystified.
Perhaps you would like to email me, or place a comment at the bottom of this post - with the method you use for sticking your inserts in your cards.
I will in the meantime keep my fingers crossed (again!) that not too many of you have received dodgy inserts from me - please be honest if you have - I need to know so that I can stop it from happening again.
Have a great day in this lovely sunshine. I will be back later with more photos from Mold II club night.

Hi Gloria
ReplyDeleteTo stick boxes I use Stix 2 hi tack tape which is the red liner one.
It sticks so well just don't put it in the wrong place.
Hope this helps

I've not had any inserts unstuck in the cards from you. I use dsst and apply some prit stick to make it slippy and give it some movement.Dot
