I posted a few days ago about using the Glue pad as one way of using Glitter. Today I want to show you another way when working with Glitter. I got a kit from Martha Stewart that is a card kit using glitter and sticker paper. This method is using a die that is cut from sticker paper. The individual cuts are peeled off and glitter applied. Doing the smallest areas first works the best. I also found that after applying the glitter pat it on the area before dumping off the excess. That helps to give a more solid filled in look on the sticker paper. The examples that I have here are the results of this method. I will return with them on a card or finished project in the future.
They really sparkle in person. Now I am wondering if you used sheets of Score Tape or some other sticker paper and you punched out a design or cut a design if it would work the same way? I have another product which is a Rub On that can also be glittered. I will give that a try next and let you know what I discover.
ENJOY!!
Kathy - The glittery birds are SO pretty. How do you keep from getting one color of glitter into the other color(s)?
ReplyDeleteI was asked how the glitter stays in each section without crossing over. I think from working with it when you just peel one section off at a time and by puring the glitter and patting it over that section before dumping the excess off it seems to get really nice coverage. Then when you do the next section that is the only glue that is open. It therefore just stuck on the open areas one by one. I also tried to keep most of the glitter in the area I was working just to be a little more safe. I used a soft bristle brush to knock any glitter off that didn't belong. I hope this helps. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.
