I always love to do this technique! I also put lace on my sticky side cover it with glitter and burnish it in, lift up the lace and use another color of glitter to fill in. I usually trim it before I apply the lace and glitter to the size I need.

[@GerrysCraftRoom]

that's a wonderful way to get a gorgeous pattern

If you run the sparkley card through your diecutting machine, between some paper, the glitter will be pressed in very firmly, and going nowhere. Thanks for a lot of great ideas for using up some of the glitter. 👍🏻

Loving all of the different ideas. 💕
I use my bone folder or an old plastic gift card for burnishing the glitter into the adhesive. I also.use a spray varnish on top to make sure none of the glitter comes off afterwards. I then leave it overnight to dry completely and even years later that glitter still doesn't rub off. 😀

[@GerrysCraftRoom]

thanks💖 cool, tfs💕
