Card for a good friend from her husband. She does not do Fussy or Cute! so went with Glenda’s Damask Delights 8 x 8 card with short fold front and panel on front, also included a panel on the back as you open it with the verse – hope she likes it (ive made a box to and wrapped it in tissue paper!

Making your own Glitter Card

December 2, 2008 at 6:58 pm (Crafters Companion, techniques)

Hi all

had lots of requests about making the glitter card, so thought I’d put the instructions here for you….

Happy Crafting

Use the fabulous Stick and Stay from crafters Companion to create whole pieces of glitter coloured card, paper or vellum to match in with your design. Place a piece of card, paper or vellum into one of the crafters companion spray booths (or a shoe box lid) and spray generously with Stick and Stay move this to a scrap piece of paper quickly and cover with glitter, give it a little press down and shake away the excess. You will have a really amazing piece to add to your design. I work on the design of the card first, and cut the piece of card , paper or vllum to size, before I carry out the technique, then I’m not wasting card, Stick and Stay or Glitter!
