By: SherrieScraps Date: February 9, 2013, 10:19 am --------------------------------------------------------- Last night I was trying to get a large bling seahorse off the backing and onto my layout. Boy, do those big blings lose their shape once you pull them off!! I got it on my layout, but it's not a normal looking seahorse!! The head is all bent out of shape. Grrrr!!! Anybody have some tips on how to remove bling from the backing and laying it on your layout without distorting? #Post#: 22236-------------------------------------------------- Re: Bling frustration!!

I've never used them before...so I'm no help...sorry! #Post#: 22255-------------------------------------------------- Re: Bling frustration!!

You can always whack it up and use it individually. #Post#: 22270-------------------------------------------------- Re: Bling frustration!!

I know you can do the same sort of thing with the cricut when you cut vinyl to hold the shape together. #Post#: 22273-------------------------------------------------- Re: Bling frustration!!

That is a great tip!! #Post#: 22296-------------------------------------------------- Re: Bling frustration!! By: Diana Date: February 11, 2013, 8:19 pm --------------------------------------------------------- What I do is little by little remove the backing, it's still a PITA but is the only way I have found the works for me. Resa's idea is a great one. *****************************************************
