Ok "Blondie", today I have learned a lot: I know now the principle of extended hinges, I know, that my gaffa is not to be used like you used your, it is sticking too fast. I know now that your name absolutely suits you and I know, there are people in the word that are wonderful, creative, share ideas without taking money! Love you for all of that! Thanks a million times, you made my day!! Greetings from Germany

Absolutely gorgeous

I am just finishing up my 6 X 6 Album following your amazing instructions Clare. I can see how the black tape is a must for all Album Artists to have. smiles I learned so much as I created along with you. I can't wait to share it on my Channel soon. I can see that the tape is a must-have when creating any Album Size. I am leaving a section in my stash for stacking this incredible tape. teehee Thanks for all your magnificent inspiration creating this Album Clare. You're a genius Clare. I am learning so much as I go along.

Cute album. My local scrapbook store recently held a G45 Album in a box class using tape. So easy. I love it

[@MyCreativeSpirit]

Hi Wendy, thanks for calling by and leaving your comment. It's great to hear craft shops are using the assembly system I launched into the crafting community five years or so ago. You get to the decorating bit of your project so much quicker. Happy crafting :-) C

[@wendymurray7658]

@@MyCreativeSpirit I hadn't realised you were the creator. 😍🤗😘 Well done. Its an awesome method. Thank you for sharing and for your awesome projects. Have a super weekend! (Im trying to clean and sort my craft room...and maybe finish a project or two. I keep seeing things i want to try lol)

Hi Wendy, the concept evolved from teaching my products in classes. So many of them were based around building my boxes that needed painting and hinges. In a one day class we could still be painting after lunch and with drying time it left no time do decorate the projects before the class finished. (the bit we all want to do most). I had to change my class concept so invented a new way of construction, sourced a Construction Tape after a lot of product testing, that met all my needs and was archival safe (many of them on the market arn't) and launched my concept. My classes were revolutionised, boxes assembled by 11, no drying time required and paper going on them before lunch. Perfect hinges created too. Then I moved onto the album construction. It worked, so that was included in my classes too. It saves using all that cardstock and double sided tape. I shared the concept on UK Craft TV and my You Tube channel about five years ago and crafters love it and now use the concept all over the world. Its great to give something back to a community I learned so much from when I started paper crafting back in 2011. :-) C

Thank you so much for the demo on the spine and pages....I have wondered how you didn't........pages always frustrated me when they didn't lay flat....thank you for designing these ...they are great

[@MyCreativeSpirit]

Hi Barbara, thanks for calling by and leaving your comment. Happy crafting :-) C

[@bl0tt44]

great desgn, thank you. it looks like little signatures etc. would fit in those pockets as you seem to have left enough space so the album still closes neatly x

[@MyCreativeSpirit]

Hi bl0tt44, thanks for calling by and leaving your comment. What a great idea. Yes, they'd definitely fit i the pockets. Happy crafting :-) C

[@Kzuri1975]

I’m sold!!! I’ve been watching mini album tutorials for 2 months now trying to learn how to make one. After watching this I’m definitely going to go this route!! So much easier and it looks great. Question: can I order this tape from somewhere like staples? (I can order thru my corporate account and save myself a few bucks! Lol)

[@debbievignola8275]

Hello, I love all your projects, you send to Spain?, I am interested in the black ribbon, I think it is ideal

[@MyCreativeSpirit]

Hi, thanks for calling by and leaving your comment. Yes we ship to Spain. Happy crafting :-) C

[@susandevine714]

Any suggestions on what would be an equivalent tape available in Canada? Awesome album - great work

[@MyCreativeSpirit]

Hi Susan. thanks for calling by and leaving your comment. I don't I'm afraid. I can tell you that I carried out a variety of tests on over 30 different black tapes before launching my unique binding system to the crafting community five years ago and putting my name to the Signature Black Construction tape I sell. None of the others passed the testing process. We do ship overseas. Here's the link for you. Happy crafting :-) CCwww.mycreativespirit.co.uk/products/signature-construction-tape-25mm

[@susandevine714]

Thanks for responding

[@paulaa.7798]

Is there a tape in USA that is comparable to your tape? I would buy from you but because of the cost of shipping....TIA

[@MyCreativeSpirit]

Hi Paula, thanks for calling by and leaving your comment. No I do'n't think so. I tested over 30 products on the market for suitability before putting my name to the one I sell. It was the best of them all for many different uses. :-) C

[@paulaa.7798]

My Creative Spirit to bad, the cost for shipping is 20.00 plus to the USA, so not feasible for me. Great looking tape though.

[@memorykeeperspriyanka]

Which black tape is it?

[@MyCreativeSpirit]

HI Priyanka, thanks for calling by and leaving your comment. It's my own brand of Signature Black Construction Tape and the original on the market, launched when I introduced this method of assembling albums and 3D projects to the crafting community just over five years ago. You can find it on our website via the link below. We ship overseas. Happy crafting :-) C www.mycreativespirit.co.uk/products/signature-construction-tape-25mm
