Love the cards Laura. Re the tape runner, take the lid off the tape runner and turn the wheel to tighten the tape. I can't promise it won't happen again but just repeat each time and you should be able to use most of the tape. Glue is definitely less trouble.
Laura - such cute cards & the envelopes just add to the perfection! They also make great winter cards. Yes, I have the same problem with tape-runners! Finally realized that liquid glues work just as well (if not better). Plus they go a long way, so are much cheaper in the long run!
What adorable little bird houses Laura. I just love them. Tape runners, forget it. It happens to me with every one I try and they end up in the bin and it's back to the liquid glue.
These are just so cute. I love them. We feed squirrels and birds. Don't use a birdhouse as a feeder. Birds will use a birdhouse to build a nest but it needs to be the right type for the birds you are trying to attract as well as placed in the right area. Some birds are okay with it being out in the open, others want it close to trees. You need to read up on the kinds of birds you have in your area.
The tape runner usually does that based on the angle you hold it, either too high or too low. I personally don't know how to fix it, but I know there is a way. One of my crafting friends has the magic touch and always fixes mine 😆 I feel your pain!
Dear Laura - Very cute birdhouse cards. Love the colors. You're already heading for spring. IDK what to tell you about birdhouses and not attracting any birds... bluebirds only like a certain type of house and many birds probably prefer a nest. You have at least a couple of kids left at home -- put one of them on research duty using the phone or computer and see what they come up with. L in PA
Love these cards. Make sure your pressing evenly across the tip of the runner so it doesn't fall off to one side and do that. Also I keep lots of my cards and found tape runners usually stop sticking and parts fall off my cards. So now I use all glue.
I love your cards also!! I use my patterned paper sparingly and would have cut the patterned paper for the top house only and not for the whole house and covered it. 😀😀
Those are the cutest cards! The colors are so yummy and the combinations are endless. Alas, I too have been been a victim of the dreaded glue tape runner. 🧐🤨🤷🏻♀️ As of yet, I have no clue what seems to cause it.
Darling cards! Love each one & all your ideas of other ways to use it. Gotta put a bird on it! Thanks. If there was seed inside the house that may have detoured birds from using it or the paint may have sent them packing. Birds are VERY particular.
I always have trouble with any tape runners. I also have a problem with scoring paper. I mess up so much cardstock it's crazy. By the way, very cute card.
Yes! I must have 4 or 5 with the same failure! Different brands too! Let me know if you come up with a fix...very frustrating, considering the prices! Great cards, nevertheless!
I stopped buying tape runners as they all do that to me. Too expensive to waste money on them. Especially up here in Canada where everything is almost double in price. 😢. I really like this die set! May end up purchasing this set in the spring. 😊❤️🇨🇦
Well I broke my rule again and ordered it all!!! Laura this is sooooooo cutie patuti !!! Love it!!

You’re so funny! Love the cards too!
So cute. I am going to make some right away. Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic cards. Thank you.
So cute and lots of possibilities...
This was so fun to watch and learn 💗
Ooh, I totally see the schoolhouse now when I look at the die! Great ideas to extend the value of a purchase. Adorable cards!
Love your work Laura 😍 I’ve given up on tape runners!! I’ve tried everything to fix them but no luck. Glad I’m not the only one 😜
Super cute and great ideas
Adorable!!!
OH SO CUTE. and the papers and envelopes are awesome. tape runners. break every single time regardless of brand.
Hi Laura, I quit using tape runners for the same reason. It’s liquid glue for me from now on. Love your cards - all are so pretty.
Such fun cards. We have a bird house made out of an old cowboy boot with a liscence plate for a roof. So cute. TFS

I use ATG gun and have no issues. I hate those kind of Tape Runners. Love your cards as always
I love this Laura. Such cute cards. I immediately thought of a church. You are a talented lady. I always look forward to your videos. Happy New Year.
Gorgeous cards! 😍

They're so cute 💕

I love this sooo much! It would be fabulous as a church or schoolhouse so I guess I have to order it! :) Can't resist a threefer!
Simply adorable! Thank you! As to tape runners…it happens to me all the time. I have tried many brands too. It must be user error😀
So adorable thank you for showing it.❤

I have the same problem with tape runners. Sometimes I press too hard and I think that might cause that issue. Love the card.
Please tell me where did you get that lovely score board that you used?
So adorbs

I periodically have had my tape runner refill do that. I remove the cartridge and wind it ahead by hand.

The bottom part of bird house reminds me of a dog house
Laurafadora, you are very entertaining. I love your videos. You could sell me anything.
Yes, Simon's tape runner is not a good product. I've had to throw them away.
birds don't like houses once they are painted, they don't usually go near them.
