I browsed several other crimping threads and didn't find my answer, so...
How do you add adhesive after the paper is crimped?
I did this the other day - I'm a little behind on my crimper purchase. Didn't think I wanted or needed one until very recently! - and when I used my mono on the back it (I was careful) it streched the paper out some.
I eneded up having to trim my paper to fit where I wanted it.
Should I use adhesive first? That would gunk up the crimper.
Why do I feel so dopey about this? :oops:
Use your Mono after crimping. Are you going with the ridges or across the ridges? I have not had problems with stretching, I go with the ridges. Hope that is clear.
I use glue dots to adhere a crimped piece of paper. I have used mono in the past, but it does flatten it a little, even if you apply it lightly. Then it ends up not sticking very well. You could also use stampin' dimensionals.
I use a clear gel adhesive for just about everything, so I don't have that problem, but you could also apply the mono to the flat CS where the crimped piece will be placed.

My favorite DUH moment is Happy Heart's suggestion about applying mono to the flat card stock and THEN putting the crimped piece down. Gee, what a concept. Wonder why I couldn't think of that?!
I also have glue dots and almost never use them.
Sometimes I really wonder where my head is...somethings right in front of me and I can't see it!!
crimping - another question
