Splattered Glitter Glue Technique
I taught this technique at my last Technique Tuesday class, and it was a huge hit. Who doesn’t LOVE glitter? It is the applying of it that kind of drives us all crazy.
I found a new method of getting glitter on a card – the splattered glitter glue technique.
What you need for this technique is Tombow Multipurpose Glue, Aquapainters filled with water, a deli lid or a empty stamp case lid, and Dazzling Diamonds Glitter. This technique works best with a prestamped/precolored image.
- On the deli lid/stamp case lid, squeeze out some glue and dilute it with water until it makes a milkier liquid.
- Wet the tip of the Aquapainter with water and then dip it in the glue liquid.
- Tap out the glue all over the stamped image in a splattered pattern. Try not to get too close – this tends to leave glue “blobs” not glue “splatters”.
- Pour Dazzling Diamonds over the card stock and tap off excess. Let dry and attach to card base.
- Add any embellishments.
Here is the card we made. Yes, it is from Sale-A-Bration, but isn’t it so darn pretty?

Embossing is one of those traditional go-to techniques that we sometimes forget to use, but when we do, the results are awesome. The phrase in this stamp set is actually the main focal image. It will be great to use for tags too!
A new color combination for me – Blackberry Bliss, So Saffron, and Mossy Meadow. I know winter just started, but I couldn’t help myself.
Stampin’ Up! Botanicals for You Embossed Card
Welcome, 2016!
The new year is upon us. 2015 had many happy moments, and who knows what is in store for 2016.
One thing I already know about 2016 – is that my customers are going to LOVE the new Sale-A-Bration catalog! One of the free stamp sets you can earn when you spend $50 or more is Flowering Fields. I love the simple coloring you can do with this stamp set and the variety of wildflowers and plants in the set. I took the phrase “BECAUSE YOU’RE SO NICE” from the new Botanicals for You stamp set (also one of the free Sale-A-Bration stamp sets) and omitted the “BECAUSE” for this card. My color combination is Hello Honey, Mossy Meadow, Basic Black, and Pear Pizzazz. The Botanical Gardens DSP is from the new Occasions catalog.
