How to: Pair Ink Sprays with Die Cuts

Many crafters have a love/hate relationship with ink sprays. We buy them, and then they collect dust because we just don’t know what to do with them! This technique will not only help you start using your sprays, but it will breathe new life into diecuts that you might have sitting around in your scraps bin. It’s a win-win!

2. Place a piece of cardstock in the spray station and placethe diecut on top.
3. Holding nk spray 6 – 12” away, spray as muchor as little ink as you like. If desired, spray different colors to achieve a multi-layered look.
   *NOTE: for best results with positive images, ensure spray hits all the edges to create a complete look – especially wth words.
4. Remove diecuts from sprayed piece. Continue using diecuts for as long as desired. Drying in between uses may be needed if pieces become too saturated.
