I've posted where to find tape before, but since it's a frequently asked question, I thought I'd post again!
The sad thing is, this isn't half of what I have-these are old photos. Addiction, anyone?
If you want tape just for you-Go to ebay, google or etsy. Type in kawaii tape, japanese tape, decorative tape, packing tape, packaging tape, cute tape-everything you can possibly think of to describe tape. LOTS of stuff comes up. Seriously.
Another thing you NEED to know, is that it's not always called TAPE. Some people call tape STICKERS or STICKER. They also say you can cut out what you want. So, sometimes on etsy and other sites you need to search for STICKER as well.
Ginko Papers-decorative tape AND masking tape an online store in L.A.!
Tapeswell is a company whom I LOVE!! They sell retail and wholesale. I LOVE their tape.
Their label tape is awesome too. I used their tape on my journal page here:

I had no idea! I have a few rolls of decorative paper tape and one of sticky ribbon. I too have an art supplies addiction but this is something else!
AHHHHHHH! :)

I LOVE seeing your collection of tape Kelly *smiles*
My addiction??? PAPER!!
Ooohhh Ahhhh. Isn't that just great...something else for me to start collecting LOL Thanks for this. I'll be shopping soon.
I missed this post first time around. Nothing Elegant is my favourite tape source -- that "vintage book" masking tape is so cool. And pricey. My order came to a hundred bucks and came in a little tiny mailing bag.But still very very worth it.
WOW!!!! your tape collection is INTENSE! haha. im jealous. i do love tape. i think ill take pictures of my collection too ;)
A person after my own heart!! i would love to link to this post from my blog!!

I LOVE STICKTAPE!

I love the name of one of the stores you list. Babosarang literally means "stupid love" in Korean. Unfortunately, that is nearly the only part of their website I can read. Maybe one of your other Korean sources could get tape from them. Too bad Retronana moved to Shanghai. She has actually gone out to Insadong to buy handmade paper for me before.
Hi Kelly - My stash (and art journaling) is much enhanced by your generous source-sharing. I have a question about Fancy This tape. I ordered some almost a month ago; the payment posted in my account two days later but so far the order status remains "pending review". I sent a query email last week and have received no response. Am conscious that this is a small company and life-factors may have impinged on the business flow so I don't want to take an adversarial position until I'm sure there isn't an unavoidable reason for the silence. If you have a contact point other than the customer sales email addy would you consider sharing it with me?
Hi Acey,
I wish I knew. I've bought their tape in person via store fronts but never from their online site. I would try sending them another email. If you don't receive a response, contact your credit card company. In the meantime, I will see if I can find a phone number from one of my store owner friends... if you want to email me at EGorey99 AT sbcglobal DOT net
so I have your email addy and can email you the phone # if I get it.
I cannot say thank you enough for this post!! I am addicted to tape and have been lamenting the fact that no one anywhere near me sells cool tape (besides a few different colors of masking tape and duct tape). You have made my day!!! Thank you, thank you! PS-I am drooling over your tape collection. You can never have enough.
wow, and i thought i had a ton of tape! ;) i also like retro nana on etsy. another favorite: just a perfect day
