Applying Glitter-how to?

[rhondamcb]

So I'm usually an avid glitter hater, please forgive me. But this year I'm thinking of using a little on my Christmas cards, but only to one stamped image-a snowflake. How do I do this and not make a disaster? I think I remember someone saying to use some sort of special adhesive, but I can't quite remember. TIA!!!!

Use VersaMark or craft ink, then you need the heat and stick powder which you only heat until it is glossy, then you add the glitter and then you heat again.

For much better directions you can go to AmyR's blog http://prairiepaperandink.typepad.co..._inspired.html where she has really good instructions on how to do it.

Good luck!

You can use a two-way glue pen (or other glue pen) and just highlight the areas of the snowflake you want glitter on ... then just add the glitter.

I use the 2 way glue pen - very simple.

The glue pens work well for highlights, but if you want to stamp and glitter an exact image, Tsukineko makes a Glue Pad. You just stamp with glue as if it were ink and then apply the glitter as usual (I love the Ultra Fine because you get a more even sparkle!).

.or you could use Stickles or a glitter pen. I love each of these for their ease of use and the fact that glitter doesn't get spread everywhere

Thank you all so much for the info. I'm trying to be a good cardmaker and get on the ball before Thanksgiving to get all my Christmas cards done. Wish me luck!!!
