I mentioned in this post that I have been having tons of fun flocking all the things (and making bad puns with the word “flock”!) Today I’m going to show you how easy it is to make your own custom flocked cards and embellishments when you use your Silhouette Cameo and the NEW Xyron Creative Station Lite!
The New Xyron Creative Station Lite will be making its World Launch on HSN March 16. The CS Lite is so cute and compact! It not only holds Xyron 5″ Creative Station refills, it also holds a brand new 3″ refill. You can see a video of the Creative Station Lite HERE.
Supplies to Make Your Own Custom Flocked Cards:
- Xyron Creative Station Lite (5 Inch with 3 Inch Option)
- Cardstock
- Silhouette Cameo
- Cutting files: Deer head, dinosaurs
- Flocking Powder
- Wood Balloon Embellishment
Step one: Cut the designs from cardstock using the Silhouette Cameo.
Step two: Place the cardstock right side down and run it through the Creative Station to put permanent adhesive on the front of the cut paper design. Carefully peel the backing off to expose the adhesive, and place the image on a clean piece of paper.
Step three: Pour the flocking powder over the adhesive. Press the flocking into the adhesive, then shake off the excess.
Step four: Roll the flocked image through the Creative Station to add glue to the back. Use the Creative Station to add permanent adhesive to the back of the other card pieces, including the wood balloon embellishments. Yes, they fit in the Creative Station, too!
Step five: Assemble the flocked cards. The Creative Station turns your Cameo cut images and wood embellishments into stickers! Just peel each element off the backing and stick it on the card front.
I love that I can use vellum in the Creative Station and no adhesive shows on my finished project! With my Silhouette Cameo and my Creative Station I can make detailed cut designs and adhere them easily. I love being able to make my own flocked card embellishments!

These are adorable! What a great idea!
Wow, I’ve never heard of a creative station before! Clearly I have a lot to learn because it looks really cool and I love your cards! Thanks for sharing! Pinning!
That’s such a great idea! I love my Xyron, but I never even thought about how you could use it for flocking!
Oh great, now I need a new craft toy! This project is so fun. I love handmade cards.
I may have to look into one of those machines! What a neat project. Thanks for sharing!
Such a great project! I have used flocked items but I didn’t know there was a machine where you could do your own flocking. Another item on the wishlist!
Wow – that Creative Station is amazing! I had no idea you could make anything flocked with it – such magic! Those cards are absolutely adorable – I just love all the colors and added embellishments 🙂
Thanks so much! It is a “must have” tool, I have to admit!
I love these!! How clever!
