Supplies List
Clear Packing Tape
Warm Water
Copy of Photograph
Bone Folder
Cardstock/Chipboard




You can add this great technique to most anything. I have used a black and white copy here and placed it on cardstock. It would look great on a chipboard title. Class is in session, grab a seat and let's get started.

First make a color or black and white copy of your photos to use in this technique. You can darken or lighten image on copier to make you image as light or bold as desired. You may wish to have a ghost image and lighten your copy considerably. You can also increase/decrease size of desired image. The choice is up to you. Just understand that you MUST use a toner based machine. An ink jet printer will NOT work. Something else to consider is that if you have a clock or words in your photograph you will need to mirror the image otherwise the clock or words will appear backwards on your transfer.



Cut the photocopy to desired size and place image side against sticky side of packing tape. Burnish with bone folder (Popsicle stick will work great too).



Place in warm water for approximately 1 minute. Remove and place on work surface sticky side up.



With your finger rub away the paper until gone, if necessary apply more water. Your image has transferred to the tape and should have retained some of it's stickiness for applying to your cardstock/chipboard.




Viola! You are done. (shhhhh, just don't tell my son I put his photo on PINK paper!).
