RE: SU Alphabits

I am dying to order this from my SU buddy but I was wondering if anyone had any great ideas for their use. Also, what is the best way to adhere these tiny "trinkets" to your pages?

I bought them in March they are fun and easy. I have only used them a on a couple of layouts. Usually for names (comments) on photos or mats. I used them more for cards. Just make sure you get both the square and circle punches. Sorry but I can't remember what I used to adhere them.

I have the alphabits with the square punch and am waiting for the circle punch to come it. They have been so popular that they are on back order now. I have used it for so many of my cards. It makes it nice because you can have the letters on the colored paper you want with the color ink you want. I love that!!

I just use mini dots to put the tiny letters down and I use my tweezer bees to put them just the way I want. It has worked out really well. I like to put a block of color behind each letter to make it stand out.

Have fun!!

I don't have a picture in my galary - but if you go to the Stampin' Up! Website and click on the spring mini catalog you can find the Alpha Bits stamp. It is a set of four stamps and each one has the entire alphabet. Once you stamp it on your paper you punch out the letters with either the 1/4 inch circle or square punch. It's a mini alphabet!!

Yes - it is a set of four stamps. A complete alphabet on each stamp.

I'm wrong - I do have a card in my gallery that I used the alpha bits on if you want to take a look.

In my last SU order I ordered this set. It is great. I do recommend getting the punches too.. esp. the square punch... I use a single hole punch for the round and that works well.

I adhere them by sticking them to my adhesive tape and then punching them with my hole punch. It works good.

Enjoy!

I got the set and both punches, they are SO FUN!!
i did a card last week and made teeny tiny tags from a light pink bazzil (it was the tiny tag that came with the sidekick) and then stamped the facny font from the alpahbits in ornage ink on white paper, and punched them out with the square. Put on the tags (one letter per tag) to spell out a name, and it looked to darn cute.
As for adhering them, I have the Judikins Trio adhesive dispenser (YOU NEED THIS THING!) and used the 3MM tape. perfect.

When I get mine (I hope the punches won't be on backorder!!!) I thought I would stamp it, run it thru my xyron, and then punch it. Or I guess you could run it thru the little x if you've already punched it - of course that's only a theory since I don't have them yet!

You get all four which is nice.

I have run mine thru the xyron also - just has a bit of trouble getting the backing off of the small letters after they are punched out. For me it was easier with the mini glue dots.

Couldn't you just get a regular circle punch instead of a stampin up one?

RE: Dispatchscrapper: Couldn't you just get a regular circle punch instead of a stampin up one?

I have not seen the Stampin' one, but I would assume you could use any long reach punch which I am assuming the Stampin' one is.

Thanks a lot, guys, now I have to get these things too.

I do know that the Stampin up punch is 1/4 inch, so any punch that size would definitely work. They were only $4.95, so I went ahead and bought those. I will definitely get the mini glue dots.

yeah any punch would work, it's just they had it right there, the perfect size, and the square is awesome, too.

The mini glue dots work perfect on those little letters.
