Do you all suppose you could glue scrapbooking paper to lightweight chipboard with spray adhesive and then cut with the cricut? Just curious if anyone has tried this method.
Thanks P

I can't say that I've ever tried it, but it sounds like a good idea. I'd also be interested to hear if anyone has tried it. If I have some spare time later, I might give it a try and will report back.

Spray adhesive isn't very permanent// Unless you have a good bonding glue. .I've tried it and it peels right off after it's dried.. I'ved tried the elmer spray adhesive and the lepages..

I have never tried cutting after spraying and gluing. I am afraid that would eventually gum up your machine. What I do is cut out two of the same thing, one in cardstock and one in scrapbook paper then glue them together. I go to the art department and get a good spray on adhesive and it works like a charm! I haven't tried any of the regular glues turned spray but the better ones do work well and last a long time. Biggest drawback in my opinion is the mess it makes.

I spray glued wrapping paper and pretty wallpaper scraps to 8 1/2"X11" heavy cardstock when I wanted to cut purses with pretty floral designs and it worked fine...that was a couple of years ago. Some small areas that later loosened I hit with rubber cement.

Thanks for the responses.

I think I must have summer heat brain, of course it is just as easy to cut paper and board then glue
doh doh doh.

I've used spray adhesive (the permanent kind) to cereal box cardboard and cut it. It worked fine. As I recall, i let the adhesive dry overnight before cutting.
