Have You Tried Adhesive Sheets?

February 26, 2025

I have fallen in love with Stampin’ Up! Adhesive Sheets (152334)! Apply a piece of the adhesive sheets to the back of a piece of cardstock before you die cut a shape or stamped image. When it’s time to adhere that image to your project, just peel off the paper backing and stick the image down.

Adhesive Sheets

This eliminates getting your fingers sticky and extraneous dots of glue on your work when applying little dots of Multipurpose Glue. This is especially helpful when applying delicately cut items like the wreath on this sample card.

Adhesive Sheets on Delicate Die Cuts

Adhesive Sheet Tip

Apply adhesive sheets to the back of a half sheet of each color cardstock you use most frequently and have it on hand. Then when you are ready to do some die-cutting, the adhesive is already there.

Perfect Placement of Cling Stamp Stickers

May 13, 2024

If you’ve ever had trouble getting your stickers on your CLING stamps, try this quick and easy trick!

Attach the stickers to your Cling stamps in three EASY steps!

Remove sticker from sheet and apply to acrylic block.

2. Remove backing from sticker and coordinating stamp. The Take Your Pick tool works great for this.

3. Line up the acrylic block (with sticker side down) over the back of the stamp. It should line up perfectly. Press to adhere.

That’s it! Perfect Placement!

Note: If you have any of the old CLEAR Mount stamp sets, just stick one (or more, depending on the size of the stamp) of the Cling Adhesive strips (152452) over the sticker to convert them to Cling stamps.

Snowfall Accents Puff Paint

September 19, 2022

Today’s post is an introduction to the Snowfall Accents Puff Paint. You can find it in the 2022 July-December Mini Catalog on page 43. Puff Paint is the perfect accent for your Christmas and Winter projects.

Snowfall Accents Puff Paint

Snowfall Accents Puff Paint is advertised by Stampin’ Up! As a wintry accent for creating perfect puffs of snow. It does do this very well.

Easy to Use

Simply shake the bottle before using, apply a thin coating to your artwork and use the Heat Tool to transform it into festive 3D snowflake accents.

A Few Examples

Not Just for Snow

Snowfall Accents Puff paint is not just for snow! This decorative accent can be used for so many more creative accents. Such as:

Beverage foam – any beverage that has a foamy layer on top – such as a freshly poured mug beer or a root beer float
Whipped Cream – top off a dessert image or ice cream shake with a topping of fluffy whipped cram
Marshmallows – add dimension to a s’more dessert image or a cup of hot cocoa with marshmallows floating on top
Bubble Bath – imagine a bubble bath overflowing with bubbles – give those bubbles some dimension & texture with this puff paint
Clouds – add dimension to images of clouds to emphasize
Stones – give a stone walkway some dimension by adding puff paint to the stones. Then add color after heat setting with a Stampin’ Write Marker or Blends Marker.

Note: Stampin’ Up! Does warn that applying the paint over a stamped image may cause the ink to smear. I did not experience this, but I suggest you test a sample before applying the paint to a piece of artwork that you have spent a lot of time working on.
