Peel offs are readily available and are great for enhancing your cards and scrapbooks.. Peel offs have improved over the years and now come in many colours, holographic effect, transparent effect, velvet effect, double embossed, matt finish, gloss finish, glitter effect, 3d Medallion style and so on. Peel off stickers cover every occasion, sentiment, design, season, event and greeting imaginable.
Here are just a few ways of using peel offs
The most obvious way to use the stickers is to just peel the design of your choice and to apply it straight onto the paper or card of your choice. But this does produce a rather flat designs.
You can make great embellishments with peel offs. Just apply your choice of peel of onto a piece of card then cut out the design leaving a small border round the edge. You can now use this as an embellishment by using a foam pad to create a 3D effect. You could try this using vellum making butterflies, flowers and dragonflies. Using gel pens or maker pens can creates a great effect,
Using chalks is great for creating backgrounds, try practicing with a simple design first. Place the peel off on a piece of white card. Using a cotton wool ball pick up some crafters chalk and apply over the peel of in a dabbing motion allowing the chalk to go over the edges of the design, keep repeating this process over the card to create your background design. When finished to stop the chalk rubbing of spray with hairspray or a fixative.
Using peel offs acetate can give a great stained glass effect. Place the peel off onto the acetate and colour with the glass paints. The colored acetate can be trimmed and used in lots of ways. This idea works will with aperture cards, using the aperture as a frame for the stained glass design.
Put you peel off in place then using PVA glue you can colour with glitter, fine coloured sand or accent beads. Just add the glue then sprinkle any of above over the peel off.
