The japanese masking tape and rolling stamper that I ordered and blogged about here arrived in record time (1 week) all the way from Korea! When I first saw the box I thought, “Oh no, the tape must be on backorder. There’s no way it can fit in a box that small.” But sure enough, all my goodies were snuggled inside. I don’t know why, but in my mind, I thought the rolls of tape would be regular masking tape length. The seller clearly stated the length of the roll (approx 50ft), but I kept picturing grown-up size rolls. They are actually more like baby size rolls (think electrical tape). Don’t get me wrong, I’m competely thrilled to have these lovlies to play with. I was just so surprised when I opened the box. I don’t remember any of the photos I saw on the web, in my months of drooling over this tape, showing something in the photo to give me an idea of the size of the rolls. The rolling stamper, on the other hand, is ginormous. I took photos of both with a quarter so you can get an idea of size. Let the fun begin!
Assorted widths with stripes
20 stunning colors. They are about the width of a pencil.
I stamped some cotton twill ribbon from my stash.
Oh, I thought they were masking-tape sized too! Go figure. Still looks like fun!
the same thing happened to me! I was amazed at the price for so much tape and once I got it in I realized why it was priced so low. I felt totally duped! But I love them just the same
