Scrapbook My Life

For the novice scrapbooker, choosing between stickers and rub-ons for a layout can be a difficult choice. At first glance, both types of embellishments appear to be quite similar. However, there are a few key differences to keep in mind.

• Stickers, even those with transparent backgrounds, leave a visible line on your layout. Rub-ons, in comparison, look like they are painted on.
• Rub-ons are flexible and work well for decorating glass, wood, and other objects, which is helpful if you also enjoy making altered art projects with your scrapbooking supplies.
• Epoxy stickers add a touch of dimension and shine to your layout, while rub-ons are flat.
• Misplaced stickers can be removed and reused by applying a thin coat of Un-Du to your layout. Rub-ons are more difficult to remove and can’t be reused if you make a mistake.
