Have you tried a glue pad?

There are some questions that have come my way about using a Glue Pad. There are a few different ways of using a Glue Pad but I am going to talk about stamping and using glitter with a Glue Pad.

Supplies:
Glue Pad
Stamp of choice
Cardstock- orange and black
Glitter-Black from Martha Stewart
 Cricut & Mini Monograms
Bowl of  warm water
1/8" hole punch
Black 1/8" ribbon

In my example I took a pumpkin stamp and  instead of ink I pressed it onto a glue pad.
Stamp as you normally would onto your cardstock or paper

* VERY IMPORTANT  wash your stamp immediately. You don't want the glue to dry onto the stamp. If it does it will ruin your stamp.  You will want to have a bowl of  warm wateras part of your supplies. Drop your stamp in the warm water right after stamping. This will dissolve the glue.

Sprinkle glitter over the image
Knock off excess glitter and Viola you have a Glittered image.

I used Black glitter from Martha Stewart.  I cut the image out and then  pop dotted the pumpkin on a scalloped square cut from my Cricut and Mini Monograms. If you are in my Fiskars monthly product swap  you may recognize these when you get your package.

See you again tomorrow for another tip or technique.
