I’m loving the glittery goodness! My holiday cards will be festively sparkled for sure!
Here’s my tip: I love Stickles, but I have created my own home made version by mixing glitter into liquid glue (any glue that dries clear) and applying it to the surface to be glittered with a paintbrush. Great for custom coloring or creating your own mix. It might also work for a more transparent application…a white or pale color added sparingly to the glue will allow what’s underneath to show through.
Thanks to everyone for sharing!

Woo Hoo! I discovered Hero Arts prisma glitter before I discovered the stamps and I LOVE IT! I haven’t tried a glue pad yet, but there’s no time like the present!!

I just took a look at the glitter at the Art Institute Glitter website and they seem to have 2 types of glitter: transparent and opaque. Also, their glass glitter seems to be transparent. Has anyone used their products?

I also love to glitter white or light colored prima flowers, and I like to take a glue pen & follow the lines of a stamped flourish, then I add glitter

I looooooooooooooove glitter! I discovered that with a little persistance, Jac paper can be die cut, stuck down and covered with glitter. The effect is a beautiful shiny surface.

I am just starting to use glitter - must be the season. I’m hooked! My tip is to glitter anything left white on my card. I use all different types, but I’m loving the Ranger Frosted Lace distress stickles. It’s beautiful on white Prima flowers.
