There\u2019s nothing like a little bling on a crafting project. It\u2019s not just only the adults that love glitter and shiny goodies but give a little girl a bit of glitter and she will smile for an entire day. So given the chance to work with lots of bling on some projects indeed brought a big smile to my face.<\/h3>\n

Cherish Butterfly Card<\/h2>\n

\"Glitter<\/a><\/p>\n

I used a combination of AC Glitter Tapes<\/a> to create a custom accent for a card. I used strips of different colours of tapes and adhered them flush against each other to a piece of plain cardstock. I then used the Cuttlebug<\/a> and Butterfly die<\/a> to cut out a butterfly from the multi-coloured glitter paper. To tone down the brightness of the glitter and create dimension I used the same die-cut butterfly in vellum and adhered it using glitter brads to the base butterfly. I attached the glitter butterfly to a stamped base coloured using some Crystalina glitter glue<\/a> on selected areas. Finally I added some microbeads<\/a> using Anita\u2019s 3D Glaze<\/a> for more colour, texture and dimension.<\/p>\n

Good Stuff ATC Card<\/h2>\n

\"Glitter<\/a><\/p>\n

For a quick ATC [Artist Trading Card] I used the Cuttlebug Butterfly die<\/a> and cut it out of packaging cardstock that is thick and sturdy with a white colouring. I adhered the butterfly to a base printed image using Tombow Mono Multi Adhesive<\/a> for a string bond. The butterfly die-cut is covered with a layer of Anita\u2019s 3D glaze and then immediately sprinkled with gold glitter. I leave the glaze to dry for a couple of minutes and then shake off the excess glitter before decorating the ATC.<\/p>\n
