Got Sticky Bits???

As papercrafters, we inevitably end up with sticky patches on cardstock from excess glue, tape, mediums or even mystery sources! For some adhesives you can simply pick or roll the dry adhesive off with your fingers, taking care not to tear the paper. You can also purchase adhesive erasers and solvents that will take off the sticky residue, and some people even pat Scotch tape over the affected area in an attempt to lift some of the tackiness. Another simple solution is to rub over the sticky area with an embossing buddy, dust it lightly with some cornflour or even sprinkle some ultra-fine embossing powder over the top and then brush the excess away. The idea is that the fine powder will stick to the adhesive removing the tacky feel.
