HOW DO YOU USE GLITTER?

[laurap]

I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO USE GLITTER OR ADD SOME SPARKLE TO MY CARDS AND I THINK IT WOULD MAKE MY WORKSHOPS REALLY GREAT...BEFORE JOINING SU I WAS USING SPARKLEZ (WHICH IS AN AWESOME PRODUCT) BUT NOW THAT I AM FORCED TO USE ALL SU PRODUCTS, I NEED TO KNOW HOW TO PUT GLITTER OR SPARKLE IN MY CARDS... I SAW THE HEAT & STICK POWDER...HOW DO YOU USE IT?...IF IT'S LIKE EMBOSSING, IS THERE AN EASIER AND QUICK WAS TO ADD THE SPARKLE? LIKE USING SOME TYPE OF GLUE?
PLEASE HELP... :?

I use the 2 way glue pen.

The SU 2 Way Glue, it's like a chisel point pen but with liquid glue. It's perfect for putting Dazzling Diamonds, or any other SU! glitter, on your cards.

I have the heat and stick, but rarely use it. I prefer the quick, loose application with the 2 way.

Two way glue pen - everyone's always impressed at how easy it was to add that finishing touch!

If you have a bigger stamp or want the entire image in glitter then you can use versamark or a craft pad, apply heat and stick, heat, add dazzling diamonds and then heat set. It works beautifully! I love it! for smaller areas or detail work 2 way glue pen is awesome!

You can mix the glitter into Crystal Effects and paint it on your card.
You can also sprinkle the glitter over the top of Crystal Effects.

I also use the 2-way glue pen. I rarely use the heat & stick powder any more.

Definitely the 2-way glue pen with dazzling diamonds glitter. You can just outline the image with the glue pen, sprinkle on glitter... and wow!

I just wanted to thank you all for all the help...although...I feel a bit silly since, after looking at the SU website and SU meterial, the info. was right in front of me.

I always use Crystal Effects...holds the glitter really well.

Don't forget the Sticky Strip when you want a big swath of glitter!

Here is a technique I made up myself and it's been posted here before but I can't find the link so here it is again.

Stamp design with colored ink.
Before picking up the stamp use a positioner to align stamp.
Clean stamp.
Stamp over the same design using Versa Mark.
Cover with transparent embossing powder
Have the glitter open and ready ‘to work fast!’
While embossing powder is hot (and after your heat tool if off) pour the fine glitter over to completely cover design.
Pour off glitter and brush off design with a tooth brush to get excess glitter off.
If you missed a spot with glitter just reheat that area and cover with glitter again.

When using a shadow stamp over a design the only change would be to align the stamp then place positioner to mark your spot. Then stamp with Versa Mark and continue steps.

I also love using the Dazzling Diamonds with glitter windows. Use clear packaging tape or Xyron. It is fast, easy and WOW!

I also love using liquid glue with glitter. Thanks to Texasgrammy who introduced us to that.
Liquid glue is more like a gel and it will dry giving you a raised effect. I love that stuff!!!
