Scrapbooking Rub-ons

Scrapbooking rub-ons are an extremely versatile way to add embellishments to your scrapbook layouts. Rub-ons can give a hand-lettered look instantly, without the unpredictability of real handwriting, or the edges that result through the use of stickers. There are rub-ons for every occasion - seasons, birthdays, weddings, baby, travel, and much more. There are rub-on images such as flowers and borders, themed rub-on phrases, and rub-on alphabets, which give you complete flexibility with exactly what you want to say. In addition to scrapbook papers, rub-ons can be applied to plastic, metal, wood, ribbon, fabric, and even curved surfaces, so they are great for virtually any craft project. To apply rub-ons, it is best to cut out only the portion that will be applied to avoid transferring unwanted areas. Align the rub-on on the area to be transferred and gently rub with a craft stick (much like a popsicle stick). Carefully lift the edge of the paper to ensure that the entire rub-on has transferred. If any portion remains, lay the paper back down and repeat the process. In the case of accidental transference, cello tape can be used to wipe away the unwanted image.
