Shredded Paper Flocking with Tiger

Shredded Paper Flocking

by Thrifty Stamper
I would like to thank Ginny M on the MFPaHC Tutorial Time team for this wonderful idea! She used a bigger size grater and got bigger "flakes" of paper that didn't clump and looked like leaves!
I decided to experiment with Ginny's idea and used the smallest grater I could find. I found that the smaller the grate holes, the fluffier the paper got as it was shredded.
This Betty Crocker food grater came from a dollar store called Dollar Tree. It has a small grater on top that acts as a lid to the container underneath. Great storage for your shredded paper flocking.
For this card you will need:
Stamp set:Big Cats, Be Virtuous
ink-Black
cardstocks for layers and base
Cardstock for the flocking-orange, dark orange
Elmer's Craft Bond
Twine
punches for the sentiment
charm
Markers-orange, brown

Tear strips of the cardstock in the colors that you are going to use for the shredded paper flocking.
Accordion fold the cardstock to create a safe place to hold while grating.

Rub the cardstock back and forth over the grater. Dump grated paper into the container.

Grate the dark orange.

Stamp you image in black. Color with markers.

Use Elmer's Craft Bond around the orange colored areas.


Gently lay the shredded paper flocking onto the glued areas. You should have more than you need. Press the flocking gently into the glue.
Let glue dry.

When glue is dry gently brush off excess shredded paper flocking.
Finished project.
