How do you adhere grosgrain ribbons to your cards? I especially have a hard keeping it "stuck" when it is actually used to tie the card closed somewhere or if it is placed behind a piece of cardstock and tied in the front.
I use the mono adhesive too because it is the perfect width for the ribbon. I just rub the ribbon afterwards to make sure it is really stuck to the paper.
If the grosgrain is behind/between layers of c/s, Mini Glue Dots will keep all the layers together under the stress of the ribbon thickness. I like to use those whenever I question the holding power of Monoadhesive.
I use permanent Hermafix dotto tape. It seems to hold the best out of anything I've tried so far, and it's easy to run along the back of ribbon. I try to use it sparingly, though--that stuff is expensive!
The funny thing is, I have the red super sticky tape, the xyron x, the glue dots and the hermafix permanant dotties, and I have never thought of using any of them :shock: duh to me!
Arg! How do you adhere grosgrain
