![]() See those little black foamy things? You stick those on the edges so you can easily place the next piece of paper in the same spot. In this photo I've actually placed the plate upside down (sticky side up) where I want it to go and then closed the lid to 'pick up' the plate. I've also heard that using regular double-sided tape works just as well. You can't reuse them but you get 6 sheets with each set, so they'll last a while. Each printing plate set comes with double-sided sticky adhesive sheets. In the photo below, I'm setting up the layout I want for the cards. I didn't notice any of this at all during my trial. The printing plates are actually made out of plastic and from what I've heard on the internet, they are not very durable - word is they actually flatten and crack with each use.

One minor detail of note was that I gave him very clear instructions not to deviate from the list or he would not have a turkey dinner for Christmas. Now, just so you don't think I have zero self control, I put it on my Christmas list and hoped my hubby would purchase it for me. So you can imagine the intense urge I had to go out and purchase the L Letterpress Tool when I first saw it. You see, I have an addiction to all things paper and there's nothing like textured paper goods to send me into an (eco-friendly), tree-butchering relapse.
