Glitter on acetate video + a giveaway!

Hi everyone!  Today is “Watch it Wednesday”, and I have a video for you showing how to create a neat look with glitter and acetate — it almost looks like stained glass.  This technique works great for flowers, butterflies and…Christmas ornaments!

Here’s the card that I’ll be showing you — it may look complicated, but it’s really simple:

And, here’s how to do it:

Glittery Tips:

  • This is a great card to make in multiples.  Do each step assembly line fashion and you’ll soon have a stack of glittery goodness all ready to send!
  • I haven’t had much success doing this technique with glitter glue — I think it’s because the glitter isn’t dense enough in the glue to make a solid covering.  I do love glitter glue for other projects though since there’s less mess.
  • Try this same technique with embellishments such as Ornament Gems or Holly Gems — it adds glitter to your bling, and you can use the acetate sheet that they are packaged on!  Can’t beat that.

Now, how about a giveaway?  One random winner will receive ALL OF THE STAMPS needed to make this card!  That’s these THREE yummy stamps — just add glitter!

Woo hoo! To enter, just leave a comment on this post telling us the kind of stamps you find yourself reaching for most often throughout the year — is it birthday, thank-you, flowers, flourishes, butterflies, owls, or…?

The lucky winner will be announced on Friday — so you’ll have plenty of time to get those comments in. And!  Friday we’ll also have the next sneak peek of the Hero Arts 2010 Catalog — don’t miss it!

See you tomorrow, when Leslie will announce the winner’s of last week’s challenge.

Have a glittery day,

    I have double the number of flower stamps compared to all the others, so guess I’d have to say I use them the most. However, I’m currently adding to my scrolls collection. They’re my newest favorite! Thanks for all the wonderful stamps to choose from!!

    I really like the flourishes because they are so versatile. I also really like anything that has to do with nature. I am relatively new to scrapbooking and am just finding out my style! thanks for all the great tips and products.

    Oh my, I love the acetate and glitter. Very pretty.

    I reach for a variety of stamps, mostly birthday related. And I guess I always reach for some sort of sentiment. I have this *thing* that a card has to have words on the front. I’m trying to break out and am leaving more blank and using images as the statement.

    I’d say I reach for the outline stamps that I can color in and my border stamps the most. Your inspiration is always amazing. Thanks for the opportunity to win some HA goodies! Have a great weekend.

    I find I buy more everyday stamps that can be used for birthday, just to say hello, general cards that can be used for any occasion. Hero arts makes that happen !
