Rub On with Glitter

I had a package from K & Co. that is Rub on's but with an adhesive side to add Glitter. So with all the fun in adding glitter, bling, gems etc to our projects I thought I would give this a try. It is fun and easy to do. Here is my little example.

I sprinkled the green glitter first on the butterfly trail and then finished by removing the remaining  covering and put on the purple for the butterfly. I patted it down in place before dumping the excess off and used a soft brush to finish getting any extra off.

Here is a picture of the package.

It comes with 4 vials of glitter too.

The technique is to cut out the rub on you want to use with the backing sheet. Then take the backing sheet off and place your rub on on your project. Using a craft stick or rub on tool rub all over the design until you see it release from the top sheet. Slowly peel back the top sheet checking to be sure it is totally on the paper. If not put the sheet back down and rub some more. This is one more way of adding some glitter to your crafting.

Glitter Anyone?

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!!
