Creative Expressions Double-Sided Adhesive Sheets, Paper, A4

SUMMARY: Ideal for strong thinnest-of-thins (basically flat) adhesion and a permanent result, such as adhering artwork or die-cuts. Beware (1) Position it accurately first-time, (2) As the Product's very very sticky, doing lightweight/bendy AND intricate die-cuts (e.g. filigree) is difficult, plus afterwards you must de-stickify your dies. A4-size for up to and including large-format die-cutting machines. Performs consistently well. ONLY PROVISO - WATCH OUT RE FLIMSY INTRICATE DIE-CUTS. Details:IDEAL FOR STICKING FLIMSY/BENDY PAPER ARTWORK ETC ONTO A STURDY BACKGROUNDThe Product's adhesive cover is 100% and of course even throughout, so you achieve a better result than if you use double-sided adhesive tape. The Product's better than wet glue as too much glue on cardstock can moisten it into slight floppiness. Applying glue and smoothing it to avoid clumps is time-consuming.HOW STICKY? EASY TO USE? CUTS WELL?The Product's very very very sticky all over, on both sides - it's for permanence on paper/card - but thus needs to be positioned carefully, no easy second chances, usually no second chances at all. The two backing papers are easy to remove, if you have a fingernail or a pokey tool. The Product cuts well in a guillotine or slide-y trimmer, even on one exposed sticky side (just easily peel the cut piece off your trimmer). I've bought several Product packs (there are 5 A4-sized sheets in a pack) and the Product performs consistently well.USE ON INTRICATE FILIGREE DIE-CUTS ONLY IF:1. Such die-cuts are strong and sturdy by themselves, as the Product's so sticky you risk tearing or distorting the die-cuts.2. You don't mind spending time de-stickifying your dies.I've used the Product to transfer an intricate gold filigree die-cut onto cardstock (see photo), but it was successful only because my die-cut was 310gsm and thus strong/thick and sturdy by itself (as I wanted the die-cut to give a well-defined 3D look & feel). With a die-cut that's *lightweight/bendy/flimsy AND intricate* I've learned that you're in for a fiddly difficult task (work too fast and you could distort or tear your die-cut) but there's no hard-and-fast rule - let your common sense and craft experience advise you.GOOD FOR STRAIGHTFORWARD DIE-CUTS: I've done it / do it for basic geometric shapes, basic sentiments and basic ornate frames. Just beware intricate filigree as explained above :-)A4-SIZE = VERSATILITYThe good size makes small and large items, such as large greeting cards like like A5. It cuts for the large 8x8 inch cards with a comfortable margin (the square artwork in my photos is 8x8 inches).Being A4, the Product goes through a large-format die-cutting machine. Of course, if you cut the Product down it'll go through mini- and medium-format die-cutting machines too :-)

Love this will certainly when making cards

Have used these double sided adhesive sheets before. I find them really useful! Could possibly be a little cheaper though

Easy to cut, works well with die cutters and cricut machine. I have used it with gilding flakes and glitter, and it works well.It can be difficult to release the tape from the backing, as there is no "back" side.I'd buy this again!

This product worked really well for what I wanted it for. (Card making) Had not heard of anyone supplying this large sheet before and will be buying some again when I run low Thank you

Really useful size of double sided adhesive. I put it on my A4 fun foam sheets so they are ready to cut to size and adhere to my cards.

Saved me time in finding a printing sticking paper. Just used this to stick labels on card.

Whilst I can use this for something else, it doesn't work well for what I wanted - namely sticking to card and passing through die cutting machine to make sticking down fiddly die cuts easily. It is too thick for this purpose and even with a Gemini and a metal shim the waste doesn't just drop out. Stix2 and Stick-It adhesive sheets are much better for this purpose. Be warned!It would be good with gilding flakes and glitter though.
