Question: Robin - I just got started getting into scrapbooking and I received some vellum quote stacks for Christmas and I am unclear as to how they work and how to apply them. Thanks for you help.
Answer: There are several ways to use vellum quote stacks. You can use the whole piece of vellum and apply it directly to your page. Some of the quote stacks out there have titles too - like one word or a short phrase. These would be used alone. You just cut them out carefully and apply them to the page. **Note that these vellum quote stacks are probably not rub-ons or self-adhesive unless they say there are. That means you have to use some kind of adhesive other way to attach it.
There are several ways to adhere it to your page. The simplest way is with glue dots. The clear ones can hide well behind certain letters like ‘e’ or ‘o’ and you can’t even tell they are there. You could try to use a glue stick or liquid glue, but sometimes these show through. Double sided tape works well if you just put it under one of the words that you want to stand out in the quote. Eyelets and brads are another simple way to apply your quote (make sure to punch holes first for both of these because the vellum can easily tear). You can also sew it on (My favorite way is to sew the top like a flap and even put a picture under it).
