any one hear of using art glitter with stencils and sticky paper where do you get sticky paper any examples

I remember using the sticky paper and glitter at my LSS - Ink About It in Westford, MA. I don't have any pictures in my gallery, but I remember it was fun and we made some beautiful cards.

I've heard of using a stencil with paste and then sprinkling the glitter over the paste. It's really pretty. never heard of sticky paper.

You can use the wide packing tape. The glitter sticks better than with paste.

I was recently at a stamp and scrapbook show and they were demonstrating this technique. The demo was using sticky paper used to cover lampshades. I didn't ask where she got it but I imagine you might find it near lamps or the shades at home improvement stores or even Hobby Lobby or Michaels. Sorry I can't be more specific!

I use JAC paper from Dreamweaver. Its sticky on both side and works great for embossing paste, glitter, and powders.

I posted a picture of a card made with JAC paper, dusted with glitter, and sprayed with Ranger's Memories Mist.

I don't understand how sticky paper would work. If the whole thing is sticky, how do you get glitter to go just where you want it? And if you're glittering the whole page, why would you need a stencil?

what about something like this?

If you want the hole page to be glittered you don't need a stencil, but, if you want only parts of the page to be glittered then the stencil covers the places where you don't want glitter but want to put something else like embossing paste.

Here is the quick and dirty explanation of using embossing paste with a brass template and JAC paper. If you plan to do this you should go to dreamweaver.

You soap up your brass template with a vegtable oil soap so that the template won't stick permanently to the sticky JAC paper.

Lay the template on the JAC paper

Hold the template down with post-its (this keeps you from getting paste where you don't want it and when you lift up the template from the JAC paper)

spread the paste over the template - don't smoosh it to hard as you don't want the paste to go under the template

remove the post-its in reverse order of how you laid them down (remove last one first). before you remove the last (first post it you put down) post it, slide the template to about a 1/2 inch over the edge of your work table, hold the JAC paper down on the very edge and push the template down of the edge of the table towards your body - the template will start to pop up off the JAC paper. Carefully lift the template along with the last postit off the paste - you don't want to smear it because it's almost impossible to fix

Immediately clean your stencil with Simple Green or other similar cleaner. If you don't clean your stencil right away its really, really, yes really hard to get off of your stencil.

Let the embossing paste dry.

Sprinkle glitter over the JAC paper and tap off the glitter - the glitter will stick to the JAC paper and NOT the embossing powder. This is the reason to use the JAC paper.

I know this was long, but I hope it helps. It does take some practice to use embossing paste so you can get a smooth finish. I do recommend you read up on it at dreamweavers.

I probably saw the same demo (I was at the Mesa convention however) that the OP saw. My friend and I came in the middle and I missed what kind of paper she used and I think she "dipped" the stencil in soapy water, which I think will "release" the brass stencil when you are all done. Basically you just lay the brass stencil down and put you glitter on (she masked off parts that she was going to put a different color on). She sort of "smooshed" the glitter in good with her fingers.

I have to say the results were fabulous...she used ultrafine glitters and they looked beautiful. I opted out...I used to have a ton of brass stencils and I sold them all. Not going back, but I sure thought about it :mrgreen:

There's a website, www.apapergarden.com that sells the sticky paper. I saw them demo it at Mega Meet last year. I've done the same technique by running paper thru the xyron on both sides. Put your brass stencil on very lightly (so it isn't stuck for all time), Sprinkle glitter over the stencil,tap off excess. Lift off the stencil and apply a different color glitter over the rest of the sticky paper.Peel off the back xyron paper and adhere to your card. Sorry I don't have a sample to post. HTH

Great idea on using the xyron - when I run out of JAC paper I use the xyron. One thing about the JAC paper is that it's hard to work with having the entire back sticky. For me I'd rather have just one side sticky so I have a little more control. Now, using your idea I can just put glue on one side and then put tape on the base card. Thnak you so much!

I've learned so much from everyone on this sight that it makes me happy to have helped someone else.

I've done it with sticky paper and lace.

You need a big bit of lace-any pattern you like, lay the lace on the sticky paper, press down so flat on sticky paper. Apply one colour of glitter-say gold. Gently press the glitter into the holes of the pattern of the lace. Then tip the excess glitter onto a piece of paper etc and gently lift the lace off the sticky paper. There will be a lacey pattern in glitter. Then with another colour of glitter-say red,pour over the area-of course where the gold glitter is, the red glitter won't stick. Again gently press the glitter to ensure it fills all the gaps. Ultimately you end up with two colours in a lacy effect. It's stunning. Hope I've explained OK-not very good at it sorry.
