Technique Time: Glass Glitter

Posted on by Josee

This week's technique gives you some tips and tricks on working with the new Glass Glitter in the Holiday Mini Catalogue.

Glass Glitter comes in two colours Champagne and Silver. Glass Glitter is made from actual glass, so you need to be careful when using it. There are several different ways to work with glass glitter including with glue dots, 2-Way Glue Pen or Tombo Multi, but today we are doing to add it in a uniform way using Sticky Strip.

Stampin' Up Supply List

Cardstock Dimensions for this Project

  • Crumb Cake
    • 8.5 x 5.5
    • 3 x 4 for stamped image
  • Always Artichoke
    • 5.25 x 4
  • Deck the Halls
    • 5 x 3.75
  • Cherry Cobbler
    • 4.25 x 3.25 mat for stamped image

Technique Directions

  1. Add sticky strip to project as desired.
  2. Peel off red backing and then shake glitter overtop. Tap off excess.
  3. Avoid trying to smooth it out with your hands. If you have lumps, take your bone folder and run it along to even it out.
  4. This will give you a uniform, smooth look with your glitter.

Finishing Touches

  1. Take card base and fold in half.
  2. Attach Always Artichoke and Deck the Halls Designer Series Paper with SNAIL.
  3. Stamp greeting and sled image in Early Espresso on Crumb Cake.
  4. Attach stamped image to Cherry Cobbler cardstock with SNAIL, and then attach to the card to finish with SNAIL.

This is a great way to add drama to your holiday cards without a lot of bulk! Plus, Glass Glitter will tarnish over time when exposed to air so it will take on a vintage look.

Cutest little treat box….

Posted on by Josee

One of the best part of the holidays is figuring out the best way to package all of your gifts.

For small gifts, look no further than the Pillow Box Bigz Die (113466) for the Big Shot! This box goes together easily with some sticky strip and then you can top if off as desired. Here a satin ribbon and punch art flower add finishing touches.

Step by Step Directions

  1. Cut Pillow Box out of Crumb Cake cardstock using Big Shot.
  2. Stamp snowflake from Season of Joy randomly on box using Versamark.
  3. Assemble box by adding sticky strip along the flap and on one end.
  4. Run Real Red Satin Ribbon around the box end to end, securing seams on the back of the box with SNAIL.
  5. Punch two Five Petal Flowers out of Real Red and then stick them together using SNAIL. Punch little flower from Trio Package out of Old Olive and then add to centre of flower using SNAIL.
  6. Stamp "merry" from Tiny Tags in Real Red on Very Vanilla cardstock. Punch out with Jewellery Tag.
  7. Set brad from Vintage Trinkets through tab on tag and then through the flower layers using the paper piercing tool.
  8. Attach tag to secure tag with a Stampin' Dimensional underneath.
  9. Secure flower to box using Stampin' Dimensionals.
