Good morning everyone!
We are so excited to share our projects created with Little Yellow Bicycle’s Acorn Hollow Collection and Xyron Adhesive.
For my project, I created a simple card featuring my favorite glitter technique! This is defintely hands down my favorite technique when paired with my Xyron! I used this technique a lot, especially during the holidays!
This card features Little Yellow Bicycle Acorn's Hollow Collection, Xyron, and bit of shine!
I love this little create a sticker by Xyron. Super easy to use, and great for the little bits you want to add just a touch of glitter! It also looks so cute sitting on your scrapbook worktable!
Here is a look at how easy it is to add shine to simple embellishments as stickers, and chipboard pieces, too!
First, I chose the smile sticker off the coordinating sticker pack from the Acorn Hollow Favorite Pieces Cardstock Stickers. To the back of the sticker I added a scrap piece of paper. Then ran the sticker through the Xyron face down. The element will now be sticky on the top. This is what we want.
Then you peel it from the white strip, and place the sticky element face down into the glitter! You could also sprinkle it on top, but the item was small enough it fit perfect right into the container. Then you get the perfect shine to add a festive look to your projects:
You can see I also adhered the chipboard flower right on through my Xyron. So easy,and a fast way to apply adhesive without a whole lot of mess. (okay, you may have a bit of glitter flakes, but how sparkly fun is that)
