Could any crafters please point me in the right direction of "peel off" numbers and letters to adorn a daft card I am planning. I've bought them before, about £1.20 per strip of italic upper and lower case letters in varying sizes and numbers to match. Can't remember where I got them! x_x

I've searched Amazon and Mr Nell has been into The Range (but we all know he could have walked past them.....).

Ideally I'd like blue and/or red but silver would be fine. All suggestions gratefully received. thumbs up

Don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to.

Sorry Nellie, I do not use peels offs. I can, for a glass of cava, make you some for nowt in the colours of your choice. I can do varying shades of blue , red and I have various types of silver from mirri to satin to textured. I have quite a few fonts so you could choose from the size you want. They could be in the post tomorrow.
All you need is glue.

That's a really generous offer, FP, but I'm cack handed at the best of times and have never had much success with wielding glue neatly. x

If you haven't got a Hobbycraft store nearby, Nellie, then you can order things from them online (although you probably that 😳)

Luckily, I have a store less than 10 minutes away, but I have also ordered online and they are reliable.

You need the glue bottle with a very fine tip and glue that dries clear Nellie and you can use your eyebrow tweezers to place. I like to be messy with sentiments and do a Jodie - that means you spread the glue on the back of the hand you don’t write with, dab your sentiment / element around in the glue on the back of your hand , place your sentiment/element where you want it and it will dry clear. Bonus is the dried glue on the back of your hand can be used as an exfoliator when you peel it off.

Eeuuww - you know I don't like to get sticky, FP. I am never knowingly without a pack of handwipes - ever!

I now have enough peel off stickers for ever more - bargains too! - and, because I used Mr Nell's Paypal account and he got the confirmation e-mail, he has been perusing........

Good one Nellie ! The Hobbycraft nearest me is next to a Dunelm Mill so I pop in when I go there but although the staff are very pleasant it is pricey! To save Mr Nellie money try Craftstash where you will get 10% off your first order, free p&p if over £15, points towards next items and you can pay with paypal. Delivery is good too.
