    Does it exist?

    Is there such a thing as double-sided tape that is thick -- similar to foam pads but not THAT thick. I occasionally want something to have a BIT of height but not as thick as foam pads...just something slightly more than flat to hold cardstock, embellishments, die cuts, etc. Or is there some kind of glue that will give a slightly lifted effect? What does everyone else use?

    The other thing I wondered is whether there are stencils for flourishes and swirls. I know there are transparencies, stamps, and rub-ons, but stencils would be really, really handy.

    Thanks.

    Yes you can deffo buy double sided 3 d foam tape or you could use silicone glue wich is used a lot in decoupage when lots of layers are needed,not sure about flourish templates but you can buy pretty chipboard flourishes quite cheaply,or try wallpaper Laura Asheley has some nice ones but not sure if they are acid and ling.free

    You can get foam tape on a roll, I have some that came from the £1.00 shop. There are 3 rolls on it and I would say that they are slightly thinner than foam pads so, yes, you can get it.

    You can also get stencils, there was one on the marketplace the other day but I just missed out on it!!

    Dovecraft do one and I use it all the time. Theirs is 2mm so just enough to give you a bit of dimension. My WHSmith sells it.

    Hi, It is available yes and we stock 3D foam rolls in 0.5mm, 1mm, 2mm and 3mm thickness.

    If you post your request in the section in shop til you drop, you will probably get some sponsors who stock the stencils you are after.

    Hope that helps

    I sometimes use a few layers of tape
    Some of the ones that come without the paper are easy to use

    I know you can buy the little foam pads in 1 mm, 2 mm and 3 mm depths, but I've only seen rolls of foam tape in thicker (presumably at least 3 mm) depths, some looks almost 5 mm
