I'm thinking about trying vinyl with the Silhouette

Oracal 631 is the indoor vinyl that most people use and like. It's the one that most of the companies cut down from large rolls and repackage with their own label. Because it has a matte finish the problem that arises with it is it's a little harder to find transfer tape that works great with it. Either the tape doesn't like to stick to the surface of the vinyl well enough to pull it off the backing, or you get one that's too sticky and you can't get the transfer off of the tape and onto the surface. The clear R Tape is the best I've found but it's expensive.

Vinyl is really easy to cut and you can do some very fun things with it so it's worth taking the time to learn how to do it.

I got this selection from Amazon to experiment with and put a decal on my phone: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JSJPRK2/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It's Oracle 651 which is the outdoor permanent stuff. I used the tranfer sheet from the Silhouette Vinyl starter kit that I also have. Some people use clear contact paper but I am not sure exactly which vinyls that works best with.

I've never had any problems with they the Cricut or Silhouette brand vinyl... and transfer tape - I've used a low tack shelf paper that works like a charm and it's not nearly as pricy as "transfer tape".

I've had good luck with the Silhouette brand vinyl. Even on mugs that go in the dishwasher! So I think for scrapbook pages you'll be just fine with Cricut or Silhouette brand.

You can reuse the transfer tape. I still have a roll of the original clear transfer tape that Silhouette sold.
It's so much easier to use than the Cricut kind that is like masking tape.
