FAQs
How many shapes are in a package?
Each package contains 14 enamel shapes.
What size are the enamel shapes?
The shapes measure approximately 0.5" to 1" in size.
Can I reuse the adhesive?
The adhesive is designed for single use. For best results, it's recommended to add extra adhesive if repositioning or for long-term durability.
What kind of projects are these best for?
They are ideal for scrapbooking, cardmaking, journaling, and general papercrafting projects where you want to add small, decorative elements.
Do I need special tools to apply them?
No special tools are required. They are designed for direct peel-and-stick application. However, tweezers can be helpful for precise placement.
Can these be painted or altered?
While they are pre-colored, attempting to paint over enamel can be challenging due to the surface. Altering is best achieved by layering them with other embellishments.
Troubleshooting
Shapes not sticking well
Ensure the surface is clean and dry. For added security, apply a small amount of craft glue to the back of the shape before adhering it to your project. Press firmly for at least 10 seconds.
Adhesive is difficult to peel
Use a craft pick or the tip of a pair of tweezers to gently lift an edge of the backing paper. If it's still difficult, try gently pressing down on the shape and then lifting to create a slight separation of the backing.
Shapes look dull or faded
This may indicate exposure to prolonged direct sunlight. Store your projects and unused shapes in a cool, dry place away from direct light.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shapes are ready to use straight from the package. Simply peel off the backing to expose the adhesive. For best results, ensure the surface you are adhering them to is clean, dry, and free of dust or oils.
Compatibility: Compatible with most papercrafting surfaces, including cardstock, patterned paper, vellum, and chipboard. They can be adhered to both flat and slightly textured surfaces.
Care: Store unused shapes in their original packaging or an airtight container away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. This helps preserve the adhesive and prevent fading. Clean any dust or debris from the surface before application. If additional adhesion is needed, use a standard craft glue, double-sided tape, or a tape runner. Avoid excessive moisture.
