I simply {{ADORE}} Fancy Pants! This company always has such elegant papers and embellishments. When I received the Summer’s End paper line, I was simply excited cause I knew that their Brag Book and this line would become one of my favourite projects. What better than a conglomeration of favourite photos with tidbits of info. Perfect.
My favourite Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L product EVER is the Adhesive Sheets. They are a staple in my book. I use them for most of my projects. Now, would you have thought that you would get such a neat result by putting the transparency over kraft? Almost always I put it over a light coloured cardstock. But this time, I thought let’s put the adhesive to the test! Would you be able to see any traces of it????
I started out with the Fancy Pants transparency, a 12×12 Adhesive Sheet. I peeled off one edge and lined it up on the transparency and then slowly rolled back the protective coating and rubbed the adhesive onto the paper.
It will happen that you could get “wrinkles or lines” like I have a few. Rub them out with your hand. no big deal.

I always wonder how to attach the transparencies. I don’t buy them because I’ve never known. So now I’ll pay more attention to Hambly.

So cool! Love the transparency over the Kraft. I love Kraft and this way you get to customize it. The adhesive sheet works so well! No more worrying about hiding the adhesive. Would the sheets work for vellum too?
