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.

Before Card.

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.
