How to...Breaking out new paper stacks

I thought Id share a quick tip with you guys for opening new paper stacks. They always seem to come with those irritating sticky circles on the sides and/or the bottom of the stack, and if you try to peel them off, you either rip the cover of the stack (grr!) or it leaves behind a horrible sticky mess that sticks to all your other stacks when storing. Double grr!

So I use a craft knife to slice down the front and back of the sticker, and just peel of the remaining sticker down the edge of the stack. Peeling this doesnt leave behind the sticky residue thats normally left on the cover and back, so its a perfect way to break out your new paper.

I do hope you find this a useful tip!

I do the same thing! Of course, it took me ripping a few covers before it finally dawned on me to do it this way. =)
