thanks for the info.

Could you share a brand or two that really works well?

I think Art Institute is the best glitter out there. They also have the largest selection. Doodlebug & Martha Stewart are good too, but I think most glitter aficionados would agree that Art Institute is the top of the line.

If I don't put glitter on a card, I hear about it. I use loose glitter and stickles - love both! I no longer worry if I'm covered in glitter, and others I'm around know that it's contagious, and so we've all just got sparkly personalities and are accessorized accordingly!

I get my AI glitter here: www.creativeplaystamps.com

However, there are dozens of store that carry it.

SU! Glitter is fine. I've liked all my SU! glitter. They just doesn't carry a big enough selection for me to limit myself to their glitter.

For glue pens, I use the Zig 2 Way Glue and I also use Tonertex Write 'n Rub pen when I want a fine line.

I heard somewhere that it is about the level of static in the glitter, and that is why it sticks everywhere. However I was also told that Art Institute stuff is the best because it doesn't have so much static in it. On purely personal experience, I think I tend to agree.

As far as glue pens go, I LOVE the Sakura Quickie Glue pens.

Also, the Art Institute has awesome glue that you can buy a fine tip to screw on. Love it!

LOVEit too, but it's tough when it get into your eye. :o(

Did you know that if you use it over and dump it into a coffee filter when you are sprinkling onto a project, it all slides off the coffee filter and back into your jar? You don't loose any product that way. It bugs me when there is a lot of waste, so I love using this technique!
