Welcome to today's class from Golden Sunrise Enterprises!

Miracle Tape is my favorite double-sided tape because it is heat-resistant and very easy to apply.  I don't get tangled up in it and the protective paper is easily removed.  It also comes in many sizes:  Full pages down to 1/8" wide by 36 feet long!  This guide is to show you one of my favorite techniques with Miracle Tape.

Take a length of 1/2" wide Miracle Tape and place it the length of your card stock.  In my example, I've made the border around all four edges of the card.  Remove the protective paper. 

After the protective paper has been removed from the wide tape, place a strip of 1/8" wide Miracle Tape down the center of each wide tape.  LEAVE THE PROTECTIVE PAPER ON FOR NOW.

The protective paper is OFF the large tape and ON the small tape, right??  Okay.  Take your embossing powder (I used Judi-kin's Translucent Gold) and pour it all over the exposed Miracle Tape.  Emboss like normal.  The Miracle Tape is durable and responds well to the heat of the embossing gun.  Allow to cool a little to protect your fingers.


Now you may remove the protective paper from the 1/8" wide Miracle Tape.

Doesn't it look pretty?  But there's more to do, you don't want this very sticky tape just hanging there collecting dust!  Next, I added Iris Faerie Glass by Marya.  I pushed it into the Miracle Tape for good measure.

After chasing after all the glass beads that have fallen off the paper and now are running all over the floor, you'll come back to your card and realize how pretty it is.  All that is left is adding the central impression. 

In this case, I used a set of 3 Art Deco Ladies that I think are really pretty.  I have them mounted on HALOSHooked And Looped On Stamps is a mounting system using a clear acrylic block and Velcro (without the brand name--hence Hooked and Looped Tape).  Here's a few pictures to give you an idea of how easy it is to use this system.

Finally, attach the stamped and cut out image with mounting tape (or more Miracle Tape if you prefer a flatter finish) and voila!  You're done!


Thanks for reading my Guide on this Miracle Tape technique!  Please vote below to show if this has helped you or not.  I'm looking forward to meeting you in my eBay store:  Golden Sunrise Enterprises!
