Try using a glue pad with a brayer or directly on to your stamps, another good idea is using double sided sticky sheets and die cuts or paper punches.

How do I use Fun Flock?
Funnily enough I have had lots of friends have the same problem so I dug this out off the web it applies to this product YOU CANNOT USE IT AS NORMAL EMBOSSING POWDER well not unless you want to make it look like you have bad dandruff Laughing Laughing the best way that seems to work is to use a special embossing powder reffered to below as "stamp and bond" although not familier with that specific product those that have something simlar are saying they have had the best results, close second is the ds adhesive sheets either pre cut into shapes (the kind you can buy to put glitter on) or just the normal sheet cut into your desired shape. Apparantly pressing it into your chosen sticky medium seems to help too, the upshot USE IT JUST LIKE GLITTER. Hope this helps xxx

Fun Flock can be applied by covering the area to be flocked with a double sided adhesive sheet, such as Peel N' Stick. Cover the entire area with flock, pressing or brayering in for even coverage. You can then stamp the surface, cut out or punch out. Use double-sided tapes or adhesive applicators to add stripes and borders. Apply flock to the sticky side of Class A'Peels™ stickers to make fuzzy shapes.

Fun Flock may also be applied by using Dimensional Magic or glue on the areas to be flocked. Sprinkle Fun Flock generously over and tap off excess. Set aside to allow Dimensional Magic/glue to dry, then brush away excess flock.When using multiple colors on one project, work from darkest colors to the lightest.

How can I flock a stamped image?

Stamp the image using a pigment ink (such as VersaMark by Tsukineko) and sprinkle with Stamp N' Bond embossing powder. Use a heat tool to melt the powder just until it starts to turn shiny and immediately pour flocking over the surface. Pressing the flock into the adhesive will give better coverage. Brush away excess.
