Dawn,
If you know someone with one of the cutting systems that uses dies, you could get your leaf, apple, ornament, whatever shapes cut quickly and accurately from that. It was be especially easy if you could put fusible on the back of the material before it was cut...that would make it easy to write names on with a Pigma pen and when you iron it on you will heat set the pen at the same time! Would love to see what you come up with!
