Card 1

Card 2 1

For the card on the right I punched out shapes from a piece of cardstock narrower than my piece of Scor-Tape™. I lay down a strip of Scor-Tape™, removed the backing and applied the piece of the punched out cardstock down the middle. Then I glittered with Copper.

Glitter techniques with double sided tape are based on ideas developed by Haroldine Wingfield and Deanna Pannell.
For the card on the left I used the punched out cardstock pieces out shapes from a piece of cardstock and lay them on my exposed tape. I added two cardstock strips down either side. Then I glittered with Copper. Don’t forget to burnish,

Now for the sticky adhesive piece of cardstock that we first made, apply glitter all over. Burnish. Apply a piece of Scor-Tape™ to the reverse side. You can now cut strips of this “Glitter” piece. It is best to use Teflon Scisors to cut this as you are cutting through adhesive. You can also emboss on top of glitter, words for example. Be sure that you have burnished well. Go over it again with the blush brush. Stamp your image or words with Versamark. Emboss with embossing powder. If you want a raised effect, while your embossing is still warm, cover again with embossing powder and re-heat.

 

Micro-fine Glitter can also be mixed with embossing powder, 1/2 embossing powder to 1/2 glitter. The beautiful cards below are made by Sandy O’Sullivan who was the winner of our Grand Design Contest Fall 2007. Sandy has agreed to be a Guest Designer and her awesome winning entry will soon be online.

Here are samples of other cards I have made. I will share more “Glitter Illusions” in later issues, such as “On Top of the World”.

These are very special indeed. Thank you Sandy for sharing.
