I just use a piece of dense foam (sponge) from a packing box. Maybe a piece of dense polystyrene would suffice. It does'nt need to be very thick. You can buy a special craft mat for doing this but it might be worth trying other options first.

rainmac your book card and box are fantastic, the papers are beautiful. Your mum will be very pleased with them, they look so professional and beautifully co-ordinated. Well done:T :T

Pokey tools are excellent for getting small or difficult peel offs from the sheet to the paper, I wouldn't be without mine

PPP and rainmac - wow such beautiful, beautiful cards, I guess you put in so much time and effort into them but it really paid off they are amazing.

fab cards everyone and some fantastic ones for the challenge:T I have an idea of what to make but having bought loads of papers the one I have in mind needs double sided paper - typical!
I have made 2 cards today - not brilliant but here they are anyway!:



sorry I can't resize this one - photobucket isn't working!

Rainmac I so loved the papers you used for your book card I accidently logged on to the glitter pot and ordered the two scoops 12x12 and cupcake 12x12 papers :j Just wish I had ordered them with my other stuff on free p&p, never mind, the papers were still on offer and the postage was only £2.
