savannahland 2: 2026: Simple Stripes with TapeRunner Adhesive

Hello again, sweet friends!

Today I am sharing a quick way to add colorful stripes to a negative image or panel.

This card was created for my sweet friend and Finn's best friend's mom- she lost Tiberius a few weeks ago. The colorful stripes remind me of Tiberius' winter coat- he had a winter jacket that was dark blue with a hint of orange and white. He was sooooooooooooo cute!

Here's a photo of Finn and Tiberius (without his coat) walking together. I love that Tiberius was so small and friends with Finn!

Making this striped background is super EASY! The key to keeping the strips of cardstock in place is using a great adhesive like TapeRunner! I use this for ALL of my striped cardstock backgrounds!

Here are some quick steps to make your own striped background:

Gather your supplies- I'm using TapeRunner adhesive with Pink & Main Pet Angels stamps and Paw Print dies, as well as a retired die set from Paper Smooches to create the vellum dog image.

You can see I already have my colored cardstock cut into strips and used washi tape to hold the strips together in the order I would like them on my cardbase.

Next I drew a rough image of where the negative image panel would be placed on my cardbase. Then I added some TapeRunner adhesive to this exact location. After applying adhesive to the rough location of this image, I added one more layer of adhesive about an inch around this spot- just so I knew that I had enough adhesive for the image and strips of cardstock. **It's never bad to use too much adhesive :)

I also added adhesive to the negative image panel back- this will help the strips and cardbase stick together.

To finish the card, I just sandwiched the cardbase with the strips of cardstock to the negative image panel. EASY!

I love how easy it is to use the TapeRunner adhesive! I also love how strong this adhesive is- I think I might have to use this striped background for MORE negative image paneled cards :)
