Peel offs - do you like them or loathe them?

[soapbox]

I'm in the loathe camp!

I particularly dislike cards with a peel off 'happy birthday' on them!

And I have quickly checked the gallery to make sure I'm not being impolite

lol carilinet!! i'll be right behind you.

soapbox, not this thread, was a few last year. although threads like this can be taken harshly xxx

I almost flounced clutching my peel offs - I happen to like my Football card featuring a peel off Happy Birthday the ultimate cardmaking horror !! And I hope the little boy who its for tomorrow will too

lololol!! i kind of flounced, took my cards off, including the peel off ofenders

was slightly dented but not enuff for me to pack them off to craft heaven, i even brought a pack off peel off markers in my last - splurge - till back - at - work - spree

In my Sizzix stash I have bought a Happy Birthday embossing stencil - wonder if that will be acceptable

nice card whizzz, is that mesh?

crossed posts
lol, who cares if it's not acceptable

[bush] I can't reveal what it is for fear of being laughed off here....I could fib & say its an exclusive type of craft mesh bought from an on line supplier.......but lets just say that it has an 'orangey' smell to it

that shoud be and not bush !!

PMSL!!!

looks good to me, and little boy is bound to love it..... it will be the only scented card he gets

have a look and spot the peel offs!!LOL

here

and here

and here

I can go on and find more if you like!
No not everyones cup of tea, but if we all liked the smae things, would the world be a boring place!

It's another winner Whizz.

Dingle is living proof that Peel offs work, if like her you know what you're doing.

Well girls that is why my question was 'like then or loathe them'[LOL]

Room for all tastes here, as you have ably demonstrated!

Something did go wrong though as I quickly checked a few albums before posting to avoid such controversy, and I am sure I checked all of your's!

Oh well - I think the poll result was like not loathe! I'll have to cope with being in the minority I guess!

Anyone want to trade something for some peel-offs! Never used

LOL Soapbox, you really got the juices going.

I think they serve a purpose - depends what you do with them really. The sheet of stars I have is perfect for decorating "thank you" cards with one hand whilst breastfeeding for example! Did a couple f nice christmas cards filling in the gaps on a peel off bauble with glue and embossng powder/fine glitter.

... sleeping dragonet awake now. Bah! Must have heard the keyboard clicking

I think its down to your own personal taste and as Dingle says it would be a very boring world if we all liked the same things.

I loath using them myself because they are just not me, however I think all the cards you have made with them are wonderful. Just because I dont like using them doesnt mean I dont like them at all.....when used properly they look fabby, as both Carolinet and Dingle have proven with the images they have linked.

I hate stamping to...have boxes full of stamps and inks and never use them....apart from my Penny Black Stamps and alpahs, I never think to stamp an image for a card. Just because I dont like stamping doesnt mean I hate stamped images....I love em when I see them but they just arent for me! Embossing is just not something that floats my boat either....so we are are all so different.

I love using fabrics and metal on my cards, which are not everyones cup of tea but each to their own eh?

Champs Im sorry to read that you took your cards from the gallery because of comments made on the thread last year re toppers...I remember the thread so well and felt it very unfair that such comments were made. Everyone starts somewhere and toppers and peel offs are great for a quick card, which can look very effective.
You should put your cards back up....where they belong, so everyone can see how fabby they are.

Yer CHAMPS
Bring back your cards sod what anyone thinks, anyway who said something about topper I've used them as a quicky many a time and another thing there not cheap to buy either.
Anyway if everyone was that good at making cards why aren't they on the Create and Craft show,
Oh No
If you're asked to go on there you know your cards are crap
Hope this has cheered you up CHAMP
Please bring back the cards

PMSL Carolinette.

I think I now the lady who makes the samples for the Create and Craft show so will abstein......

I use 'bought' embellishments quite often, I always do a lot estra to the ard as well though- I have no problem with that. But some people do.
Bad luck them.

I also make my own charms from scratch with triple embossing but that doesn't make me a saint, just a cheapskate.

If we all made the same cards, what would be the bloody point? Walmart would flog them for less than we could do them for anyhow.
