Quick Tip: Xyron Adhesive

Here’s a favorite combination of mine: the small Xyron machine (“X” shaped) and an embossing stylus. Once I pull my shapes through the Xyron, I rub the plastic layer quickly with my fingers, then run my embossing stylus around the edges of each shape to get all that adhesive transferred completely to the edges. Any dull-tipped tool would work, but I happen to have this stylus that I rarely use for real embossing any more. 🙂 It makes this adhesive perfect for small and intricate shapes cut by punches or die cutters or the Silhouette. Otherwise it can be just a touch messy with all the extra adhesive left around the grooves and corners of my shapes.
