I would be inclined to remove the backing along the top inch or so and
attach the SA portion of the sheet to the HUGE cover, then work my way
down slowly peeling the backing from under the entire sheet and away
from the top and pressing the SA part down as I go. I would think that
if you go slowly the stamps alignment with their surrounding selvege (or
whatever you call it) would remain intact and it should transfer
nicely. A peel and press method, until you've reached the bottom. I'd
be very leary of placing anything on the face of the stamps.

I suspect if you try to peel it all off the backing that the stamps will
fall out of place.

You could glue the backing to the cover but each individual stamp is
easily removable, unless thats what you intend.

I would like to create a cover using the upcoming US "Northeast
Deciduous Forest" sheet, P/O the "Nature of Amarica" series. This will
have a single design over the entire sheet, with 10 individual die-cut
stamps scattered over it. All self-adhesive.

Can people tell me what methods they have used to attach an entire
sheet like this to a cover? I can see a few possiblities:

1) Carefully peeling off the entire backing paper w/o separating
any stamps and applying the (hopefully) fully intact front to
the cover using the self-stick glue.

2) Using glue to attach the whole sheet, including the backing
paper, to the cover

Does anyone have any better ideas?
