I used my cricut machine to cut out different sizes of snowflakes as my masks. You could use any type of die cut, it doesn't have to be from a cricut machine. I chose to use a cardstock color that i usually don't use for my masks. If you chose a color that
you like you could not only use them as a mask but use the die cuts with another project!Next I chose a neutral color background cardstock. Lighter colors show the mist better. Also, note that textured cardstocks tend to be more absorbent than non-textured. I used a repositionable adhesive, Zig 2-way glue. I just dabbed the glue on the tips of the snowflake so that they w
ill stay flat during spraying.Remove your die cuts and reveal your cute and custom patterned paper!!!

ReplyDeleteThis is great! I really have to get some and try this. I got a gc for AC Moore for Mother's Day so I am going to get me some glimmer mist. tfs
ReplyDeleteGreat tip Amy!
ReplyDeleteGood idea to make your own masks. I need to remember this before buying those silly expensive ones!!
ReplyDeleteI am so dumb...or ignorant I guess, what is a mask and what did you spray with?
ReplyDeleteA mask is something that you cover another item with. You spray it with spray ink, like glimmer mist, smooch or maya mist. HTH. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a great tip - and if I were to do it It would be outside my BOX!
ReplyDeleteThanks Amy for sharing!
those snowflakes are so pretty; the paper after spraying can be used for so many different things, my mind is turning. I would cut out the masks in white then they could be used as is, or blinged up or sprayed darker. Theres about a thousand things to do with the leftover masks. Brilliant.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great tip! Your paper turned out beautiful!
