I found if you put it on to that clear cover stuff that you use for covering books you can then remove the backing and it stays in place for when you place it on your item - you just peel the clear stuff off once placed.

I've found some more websites for free cutting files to if you haven't already seen them. http://www.sherykdesigns-blog.com/ and http://www.quillingpatch.com/free-cutting-files/
Also get the freebies each week at the Silhouette website.


you can get wide masking tape type stuff too called transfer tape - its what sign makers use to transfer vinyl cuts. then you just need to roll out, and not have to worry about getting it nicely when peeling duraseal baking paper off.

It looks like shipping from them is $30us for one but doesn't go up much when adding heaps more. So absolutely worth co-oping for postage
I have just asked the lady on tradme if she has any stock at the moment.. she might end up cheaper.'

There is also fotobella, they have 15% off at the moment. I just put a blade in the cart and shipping ranged from $16US for 3 - 6 weeks I think it was, and $40 for 2 - 4 weeks. Didn't play enough to find out how much it went up though :)
