Most of the cards I make are decoupage, have tried both cutting out and die cut, as you say it depends on how quickly you want the card finished. Have you tried the morehead sheets yet? They are so cute. Have not used silicone yet as I usually do a card making session then like to pack away but am planning to use it soon as I like the finish. Love browsing the Jacksons site, then cant wait for next parcel to arrive!
