Peel offs

[Jeanne]

I like many others have hundreds of peel-off that I have never used. So I am devoting a week of my time to do something "wonderful "with them all.

Can someone give me some advice on using the larger peel offs to stop them stretching and going all over the place. I find them frustrating to use and end up putting them back in the drawer.

Got a whole box of aweful Christmas peel offs that I bought in Alan and Barry time on IW, they were really expensive at the time. Still not used them so getting rid of them to the infant school (well it will make more space in the drawers for more stash)

I expect many of you can identify with this.

Hi Jeanne - I find with larger peel offs it's best if you ease them up of the sheet using the tip of a pokey tool (paper pricker) or such like. I take my time and easy them up bit by bit. Once I have the peel off of the sheet I lay it sticky side up for a minute or so on my desk - if left like that the material peel offs are made from seems to relax back into it's proper shape if has got a little bit warped out of shape when being removed from the carrier sheet.

Oh Jeanne, I ditched those Alan and Barry peels offs last year. When I look back at the cards I did make with them they looked like a 5 year old could have thrown them together.

Know what you mean Looby! My grandson wouldn't use them last Christmas to make some cards, and he is only 5. He said they were yak!

I've laid the remaining sheet on a lightbox, then your card over the top. Then lay the peeloff over the top, following the shape on the original sheet.

And don't foget the Pinflair huff!

Stick em to some fabric first, blimey I have sooooooooo many peel -offs it's obscene and I only ever use borders, I'm even using the greeting less and less..I might put a job lot on ebay as I could do with the cash, not sure they would go for much though! The P&P put peeps off on ebay cos they are quite heavy!

..or could put them on the Bulletin Board at work:cheeky:

I use "magic tape" with smaller text peel offs to stop them distorting but you can also get it in sheets to use for larger peel offs eg http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-10x-Peel-Off-Negative-Transfer-Sheets-%2f-Magic-Tape_W0QQitemZ370146123293QQcmdZViewItem
