Default Attaching the inside paper/sentiment

I'm a newbie that needs a few pointers here.

I have been attaching my inside paper to my cards via a stapler.

Is there an easier or different way to do this?

Help!

Thank you so much for your time.

I put a thin ribbon of tacky glue down the left edge of the paper insert ( near the fold ). I have tried some double sided tape, but it is pricier and the cheap brands are not reliable. They do not held well.

I use the snail adhesive to hold the piece of cardstock inside...many times I sponge the edge of the cardstock with a coordinating color then attach it to the inside - just adds a little pizzaz.

I use double sided tape (Scor-Tape) on just the top of the quality paper I use for the insert.

Alternative, depending on the card, I will use my Zyron to adhere the entire piece.

Default inside of card

I make an insert about 1/4" smaller than the card...fold in half..and put double sided adhesive on the top flap and secure it to the top flap of the card...that way it will hide any of the embellishements I have added to the front, and because I don't secure the back, it will open with no problems. I usually stamp a little coordinating image in the bottom corner of the inside and the corner of the envelope.

Thank you.
I am trying the double sided tape, and it seems to be working great.

Staples just weren't looking too good.
