Tuesday Tip - Splicing paper

So is that a happy - or a sad - face??

Either way it will make my chocaholic boy happy... so I couldn't resist buying this pot of M&Ms for a chocolate valentine treat...

But being a Stampin'Up! demonstrator... I couldn't resist a simple bit of decoration!!
And then I realised that I didn't have a long enough length of the All My Love hearts papers to go all around the pot! So invention was the mother of necessity as always... and a bit of cutting and trimming later I had 2 pieces with a match at the join...

And then it dawned on me that there was a really easy way to join the papers so that the pattern matched perfectly... just a bit of Tear & Tape on the back of the one piece... with the other half of the Tear & Tape exposed and ready to go... and then pop the other onto the other half of the tape! 
Easy peasy! Simple paper splicing!
All finished off with a length of Sale A Bration Botanical Butterfly papers... Lovely Lipstick greeting from the Hey Love stamp set... and a few medium hearts from the Meant To Be stamp & die set... 

Sorry I didn't get a better photo!! Bit it kinda matches this card idea...
