Flocking

Hello, Friends!  Marilyn here with a review on flocking.  Flocking is simple to apply and can be used on your cards or scrapbook pages - anywhere you want a soft or furry look.    My tip:  When using flocking, resist the urge to "touch" it until dried.
Here is what I used in my example:
  • Cricut Cartridge:  Hello Kitty Greetings
  • Designer Paper:  Recollections
  • Embossing:  the Paper Studio "Tiny Stars"
  • Punch:  EK Success "cloud punch"
  • Accent:  White Flocking

I purchased a set of flocking at Hobby Lobby.  It comes in little vials of different colors.  I'm using white to demonstrate today.

Here is a card I made using the Cricut Hello Kitty Greetings cartridge.  The clouds were punched from regular white card stock - and look fine as they are.

After applying flocking to clouds

I applied glue to each cloud and sprinkled with the white flocking material.  This product made the clouds looks and feel soft and fluffy.

Here's a close-up of the flocked clouds.  The package recommends letting it dry overnight.  I couldn't resist touching . . .

This product could also be used as fur for animals or snow or maybe on Santa's beard. Or even eyebrows on Oscar the Grouch!

  1. I didn't know you shouldn't touch the flocking till it's dry. Good tip. Okay, maybe I should have read (and saved) the directions. TFS.

Building Block Graduation Card

Hello, everyone! Melissa here on to share a "building block" style card with you. I made this one graduation themed, since there are a ton of graduations going on right now. Hope you enjoy this card, and are inspired to try it out yourself. Here is the tutorial I followed from Split Coast Stampers. To make it easier, I will give you all the measurements, here. It looks harder than it is, I promise. Start with a piece of cardstock in your desired color that is 5.5 x 10.5. Put the 10.5 inch side along the top of your score board or paper trimmer, and score at 3.5 inches and 7 inches. Fold the first score line in a mountain fold, and the second in a valley fold. You should end up with a "z" fold card. The next part can get a bit tricky, so make sure you watch the video to fully understand what I am about to explain. On the back side of the "valley" fold, take a ruler and pencil and mark these measurements: 3/8 1 3/8 1 5/8 2 5/8 2 7/8 3 7/8
