Transfer paper & design question

[luvhockey]

I have the sheets for the dark shirts (thank you KristineN) and I know they can be used on white shirts also. My question is ---I have name designs made by Julia&NicksMom which will be going on white shirts, but there's no frame around them and you can't really cut around the designs so do I just cut them out in a rectange and the part with no design will blend in with the shirt? Did that make sense?
Here's a link to what the names look like. So do I use the dark transfer paper on white shirts or do I need to get light transfer paper for these?

She made a few names with frames around them but I liked it better w/o.

Thanks for your help

I made shirts last year and used the dark transfer paper on white shirts. They really hold up better. I had the same "problem" deciding how to do the shirts that would have a white background. Here is the pic of my girls with the stick people family. I think they turned out fine. You can tell there is the white retangular box, but if you used the light transfer paper and didn't cut out around the design it would be a shiney retangular box

Thanks, they look fine. I didn't know the light transfer paper would look shiny. I wasn't sure if it would look ok just cut in a square.
I really like having the borders around the pictures but the names just seemed better to me without.
