I have to agree with Silver we used shelleys gel grip when we did our cards 2 years ago and they are still hanging in there

I've used a red 'contact' glue, ive got no idea if thats what its actually called but it was red and you put glue on both sides and when you stuck them together they stayed together. It worked well for me, tdegens knows what it is, ill get him to post here

yeah we used a red contact which was left over from a kitchen job. So any good contact glue would be good. Probably the red contact will tend to bleed through the vynil. karina also used 3mm craftwood for the card and it seems to be quite good. It was a bit of a chore to make all the holes line up.

Sorry to hijack but...

I'm planning on making some cards myself, does anyone know of a good website for a how-to or tips? Might save me making all the stupid mistakes myself.
