"Hi, this is Stephanie and I am going to talk about adding rub-ons to your scrapbooks. Rub-ons are great, they come in different styles; alphabets, flourishes, anything that you can use. These happen to be little flourish rub-ons and I will show you how to put them on. The first thing that I recommend is keep them in the packaging. If you take them out of the packaging, the sticky part of the rub-on will get caught on stuff. So, you just want to, what I do is cut out the embellishment that I am going to use and I am going to use this small one and just cut it right out of the pack. You know it leaves your package looking messy, but it is better to do that than to waste some of the run-ons that you have. Then take off the backing on the back and you have this little piece and wherever you want it, you get a Popsicle stick, most of the sets will come with one. And then you just rub it and then you want to rub it till you know you got as much of the design down that you want. If you don't get it all you can lift it up and check and see and it goes right onto the paper. I am saving a little bit of this because I am going to also rub onto this button. You can use rub-ons on just about any surface and so that way this will match what I am going to do. Just put it and rub it the same way that you would on paper and lift it up and you got a matching little set that you can use on a page. Rub-ons will go on lots of different surfaces and you can also use them that way to put them on anywhere on the page that you can't maybe print on."
