    I haven't got the patience for decoupage i'm afraid ... I love them, but just haven't got the patience to sit and cut out all the pieces

    Decoupage always looks impressive for not very much effort - my mum always buys my decoupage cards as soon as I make them (she insists on paying for them bless her)

    definitely no cure for this one I've got probably hundreds (literally) of decoupage sheets in my craft room, plus have started to look at rubber stamps to see if they can be decoupaged before I buy them now!!

    Recently did my very first from identical full images (instead of the step-by-step ones), and my DD was very impressed with the results

    Have almost always used 1mm foam pads for it (the ones you get in kits from QVC are far too deep in my opinion, as I don't like a small image to jump off the front of the card too far)...... but did my last batch using silicon after seeing it done with a syringe on Create and Craft. The tube nozzles always dried up on me, so had previously given up with this stuff

    Only problem I found with using Silicon this time was that I needed half a dozen or so different images totally cut out, as you have to let each layer dry -- meant that I could do a layer on each before coming back to the first one......
