If you could see how much this sparkles IRL, you would ooh and aaaaahh. Seriously.

Oh, and I do have a few extra tips that I’ve included (towards the end of my post) that I didn’t actually think to mention in the video at the time of recording, so you may want to check those out, too.

This is really a simple card, but it looks a LOT more complex. And, the “full-on glitter” always seems to dazzle peeps! I’m sure it also shocked anyone that knows me that I would actually let my hands get glitter all over them. Now, in all honesty, I really do hate getting stuff on my hands like this, BUT, this is one of the few end results that I will actually tolerate getting a little messy over.

And, if I can do this, you can do this. Well, I should say, “most of you”; I do have one stamping friend who cannot abide loose glitter and she would refuse.

FULL-ON GLITTER PANEL TIPS:

• Stamp images with a fast-drying dye ink; pigment ink takes a long time to dry completely and sheet adhesive (double-sided sticky tapes, tape runners, etc.) will not stick to any surface that has wet ink.

• Bold images tend to show through the glitter better than fine/detail images.

• If you have a Xyron machine, use that instead of sheet adhesive.

• A plastic bin large enough to place a card front face down makes this technique much easier and more convenient.

• Turn OFF your ceiling fan during the “glitter bath” (if you have one); ask me how I know . . .
