If you have a xyron machine, run the paper through it first then cut the letters out with the sizzix.

I use my xyrons (yes, I have more than one!) for things like this, too.

I use my 2 way glue pen. It's not too messy with the glue pen.

That's what I do, too. Xyroning the paper first, then cutting the letters, helps avoid the "xyron boogers" you can get when you run the already-cut letters through the Xyron.

LOL! Xyron Boogers is a totally appropriate name for it!

I run my letters through the Xyron, and then I use my Creative Memories Multi Purpose tool and trace each letter. I am a paper nazi and can't waste paper by running a whole strip through ;) LOL!

Good Luck

I LOVE IT~~~
I thought I was the only one like that?
Oh how do you feel about tearing?

OH IT HURTS MY VERY SOUL TO TEAR a piece of paper!!!!!!!!!!!
Can not do it~!

Thanks everyone for all the great hints
Guess I will be buying another set or two of sizzlet alphabets!!
Any suggestions on which set has the largest alpabet? size wize?

Nope, no paper tearing here for my alphas, I use my handy dandy scissors ;)

As for reccommendations... I have Boxed Brush (awesome since it is 2 fonts in one) Funky brush, a nice hand written look, and aphrodite is a great one too! I just got Bozo and it is growing on me. I also heard that Nouveau and slim Jim are good too... All the bigger sized fonts

Have the bounce alpha bet... it's the one that came when I ordered it off of Shopping at home last weekend.... I like it... I'm sure I'll need to add more later!

I use this stuff called Dry Bond Repositionable Instant Adhesive. It comes in 2 pads like paper. I put my Sizzix letter on a sheet of the pad that has teeny little glue spots. Then I put the top sheet on top of the letter. It looks like wax paper and I rub my finger on top of the Sizzix letter. When I lift off the letter, the little spots have adhered to the back of the letter. Then, I can put on my scrapbook page. It is quite economical to use.

Here is the URL for it:
