I Have a Question About Glue

  Hi to all of my paper crafters/artists--I am playing around in my craft room tonight-yeah my overhead light is finally coming on now since it's cooler. 😃

      I stamped onto tracing paper and I want to attach it to construction paper-I am experimenting for my Christmas Cards.
   What type of glue would you suggest that will stick to the paper but not show through to the tracing paper-any ideas will help thanks.  
   I had thought of hand stitching paper down too
   thanks in advance.

 Update: blog friend Eileen at Artful Blogger did some glue experiments-thanks soooo much here is the link
Image result for cartoon thank you

    I would use a glue stick. One that might go on colored but dry clear

    Hi kathy,

    I want to say matte Medium because its my favorite glue..lol by Liquitex BUT i think for what you want to use it for a less liquidy form would be better like CJ's glue stick. Eileen is my crafting Guru .. You might ask her directly.. Hugs! deb

    I would use matte medium also, but I would be sure to spread it across the entire surface so when it dries you don't get spots. Good luck.

    Hi Kathy,

    I did some tests today. See https://theartfulcrafter.com/blog/glue-stamped-tracing-paper-christmas-card.html. I hope this helps.

    I didn't try CJ's idea. Usually my glue sticks are too thick and gummy to work on tracing paper. But a really new fresh one might be okay.

    I like the sticky tape you get on a dispenser, it rolls out like tape and the paper backing is rolled up inside the dispenser. Email me and I'll send you a link to what I am talking about. It comes in permanent tape and dots, as well as repositionable.
