Sometimes it’s really hard to design a masculine card.  So when I finally craft one I like, I make it in lots of flavors.  The depicted saying is for father’s day but I’ve also made this card with Happy Birthday, Get Well Soon, Thinking of You, and Thank You.  So…the trick to using fun flock is to know that it’s slightly transparent and to WORK with its transparent nature.  I stamped the horse image onto glossy white cardstock using palette Cognac ink.  I let it dry for a minute, then I overstamped the horse image using the Tsuneiko’s Essential Glue Pad and immediately sprinkled/pressed/smooshed the fun flock onto the gluey image.  BECAUSE it’s glossy paper, the glue works great with the fun flock.  We made this card in our May sassy stamping class and my fun flock still hasn’t rubbed off.  I do notice if I use the Essential Glue Pad on non-coated cardstock (i.e. matte cardstock or textured cardstock), the fun flock has a tendency to rub off a little.

Oh my goodness.  Sharon Johnson has the most diplomatic, unbiased review of the ScorPal and Scor-It scoring boards I’ve read.  The link is here.  Be advised, however, that she does not choose one over the other.  In fact, and this is where she shines, she compares them to children…you can’t pick a favorite child, you love them equally.  Just as she can’t pick a favorite scoring board…they are equally loved.  Isn’t she cool?
