Snow Day Creativity
Simple techniques for capturing winter vibes with tissue paper stickers, water effects, and a little creative play
Behind the Page
We’re getting a ton of snow this week, starting this afternoon—going through tomorrow, and then an even bigger storm over the weekend. We’ll have at least a foot of snow, if not two feet, by Monday morning (when it’s apparently only going to be 12 degrees). So I thought this was the perfect time to play around with a little snow day page.
Technique of the Day
I stamped and cut out this Michigan outline on some tissue paper that I had previously backed with adhesive (essentially making tissue paper sticker paper). To give it a little bit more of a snow day look, I used a spray water bottle and misted the top. To get everything to dry a little faster, I used my heat gun—but that’s completely optional, it’ll eventually dry on its own. And when it does, you’re left with this very cool waterdrop look.

Tips & Creative Wisdom
Turn Tissue Paper into Sticker Paper
Backing tissue paper with adhesive makes it way easier to cut, place, and layer without worrying about delicate edges tearing. It’s perfect for adding light, textured elements—like my little Michigan cutout—to a page.
Pro Tip: Keep a few sheets of pre-backed tissue paper in different colors or patterns so you’re always ready to create custom stickers.
