Designer's Tip: Backing the Dazzles™ stickers with patterned papers and cardstocks allows them to stand out from the backgrounds. I find that backing the stickers with smaller and more muted patterns adds texture without overpowering the Dazzles™ designs. Simply place the Dazzles™ sticker on the paper, then cut along the edges. Use adhesive to attach the Dazzles™ to your design.
