Pre-cut sheets are certainly a valid option. Being a bit of a tinkerer though, I like the way I can experiment with a cutter. Cutting foil or holographic inserts would be one example.

@webtrekker- those bronze age marvel badges and magnetics look fantastic. I can't believe you made them. What printer do you use for the magnetic sheets?
I just use my Canon Pixma ix6850 inkjet for printing magnetic sheet. The CIE inks I use are pretty resistant to UV fading, but I also sometimes overspray the magnets with a clear protective coat which enhances their looks and life.Quote:

Does the spa at make them waterproof?

The spray I use (from Crafters Companion) seals the edges of the printed layer and allows for wiping clean with a damp cloth. The spray also makes the colours more vivid, which I like.
