 | | My review for the SCS discussion Stampin Up adhesive sheets by muscrat at Splitcoaststampers.
I have mixed feelings about these adhesive sheets.
I began with backing two colors of cardstock, each 6 x 5.5-inches. This left a small unused strip (6 x 1-1/8 inches) for future projects and some useable areas of the colors (see photo).
It took up to 8 passes through my (admittedly ancient) BigShot to cut through the card stock + adhesive, but I did get nice clean cuts. However the separation of pieces was less than excellent and the tiny pieces stuck to everything - which does not happen when you add adhesive AFTER cutting. Some tiny bits stuck under my fingernails and I had to use a metal tool to scrape them off!
I also feel there is a LOT of wasted adhesive with intricate dies like these. I had a pile of scraps too small to be useful and the only pieces salvaged were 4 leaf shapes (which I added to this card).
In the positive column: the backing was easy to peel away AND you have a brief window where everything is repositionable - which is good because I forgot the FILL die goes down first and you add the outline diecut over it. OOPS - and WHEW! Because of this I burnished furiously after everything was in place.
I will use the pack, but not quickly and maybe I will like it for other types of projects. Hopefully this helps - or at least forewarns - someone!
