You can't!!!!! You'll have to have to have them all!! Seriously though...black would be a good one to have right now with Halloween cards. I use that one year round though. Star Dust is my favorite for adding just a little sparkle to something but Icicle, Crystal, Frosted Lace, and Diamond are all nice. I love Christmas Red too! I need to get the new Cotton Candy and Baby Blue ones. I have 18 of them and can't believe that's only roughly half of the colors!!
I haven't seen them at Michael's and my Hobby Lobby only has three packs with a couple of different combos.

I bought my from Scrapbookpal.com after someone else posted about them. They do (or at least did) give you a free bottle when you buy some! I got a Bunch of different colors and since I'm not home I can't tell you which. Lol. But I believe I got one of every color of the rainbow plus some others. :-) They are sooo pretty!
Ok, I'm going crazy trying to figure out all these colors... can someone describe the difference between Diamond, Stardust, Icicle, Crystal and Frosted Lace? They all just look like glitter to me!!! The only frame of reference I have is SU (Dazzling Diamonds glitter, or Hologram Highlights/Irridescent Ice EP). TIA!!!
Those of you who have just purchased the STICKLES, you are going to love them. I hate, glitter and dazzling diamonds......working with it I mean, but stickles are the best. The point is so fine that you can literally write a name or a word very nicely with them.
I have been hounding SU for years to get them. (Maybe other lovers of stickles need to speak up)??.....hum??
i can't describe the differences between the colors, but i can say it does matter! i wanted a white stickle effect, and i used what i thought would work based on what the bottle looked like. when it dried... there was blatant gold and white glitter :( i had to start all over. anyway, the color does matter but i couldn't tell you the differences... Serenity
Well that didn't take me very long, I just placed my order for five Christmas Colors of stickles! I can't wait to get them.
Can anyone share cards they have made using stickles?
Here is one that I just made...The stickles are wet in this picture, but it sparkles so beautifully! SC149 - First Snow by blondie090277 at Splitcoaststampers
Crystal stickles have a blue and green hue of sparkles and Diamon Stickles have a red, orange and gold ish hues when they sparkle - the glue itself is clear though
I love mine and I frequently use them on cards, they add elegance and bling without the mess of regular glitter!!!!
www.misterart.com has them for $1.48 each. I ordered every color and received my order in a couple of days. I have to say - I LOVE THEM!! I use them all the time and they add so much to the cards.
I just enterd into the world of stickles this week. Let me say - I am totally addicted! What a HUGE difference it makes on my cards!! I only ordered like 5 colors but you better believe I'm gonna order more!! I got mine at scrapbookpal.com. They came very quickly and they had all the colors in stock and they were the cheapest I could find!
I'm going to offer my version of the definitive guide on the differences in the white holographic stickles (I'm excluded frosted lace because it is not holographic, it's just white).
The differences have to do with two aspects: the color of the glitter and the size of the glitter.
Crystal, Diamond and Star Dust all have the smaller sized glitter (I would say it is ultra-fine). Icicle has larger glitter pieces (looks like about 4x the size of the others...it is very pronounced (looks like about .5mm)).
Crystal is predominantly green holographic glitter.
Diamond is predominantly orange holographic glitter.
Star Dust is an even mixture of colors (looks like green, blue, orange and pink).
Icicle is similar to Star Dust in color mixture, but again, the glitter size is much larger.
Hope this helps!

Thanks to all of you for such good information. Have gone to a few of the web sites to see the colors....now to make the choices...Can't wait to try them!
This thread convinced me that I needed every colour of stickles, but being in NZ, my options were limited. However, there are some great deals on Ebay, especially if you want a full set like I did. Including postage, I paid about $2.80NZ per bottle - when the local, sub standard alternative in 10 boring colours is $6.75NZ a bottle!
You can usually get a full set for around $57US on Ebay from the scrapbooking stores - and you'll probably get free shipping if you live in the States.
Hope this helps anyone who might have my crazy "one in every colour" disease!
So after all this, I have amassed a collection of 6 stickles. ( 4 y/o dd picked out purple/gold and green today for me....very mardi gras) I have used them once so far and here is my question.....how long should they take to dry? Am I doing something wrong? Mine take forever! Can I heat gun them? THANKS!
I got mine at frugallities.com I got them on a really good percentage off. Love them and got all of them. they don't always have all of them.. it was just a good shot.
They don't dry quickly if you lay down a thick layer. I don't usually lay down a thick layer because I'm not using the Stickles to color the spot, just highlight it. So lets say I stamped a star and colored it in gold with a pencil or pen, I then go over it in a fine layer (1 layer) of yellow Stickles. Now my dd on the other hand, you'd think she was using the stuff to outline an image and color in using the Stickles as a boundary. It takes overnight to dry. When I figured out what she was doing I now only let her use them supervised. She wasn't letting them dry and then getting the Stickles smeared everywhere!
