Glitter paper adds a touch of sparkle and glam to your crafting projects. Whether you’re creating cards, scrapbook pages, or other paper crafts, here are some helpful tips to make the most of glitter paper:
-
Cutting Techniques:
-
When cutting glitter paper, turn it UPSIDE DOWN so that the smooth back side faces up. This helps keep your cutting blades sharp and ensures cleaner lines.
-
Consider using a separate cutting blade exclusively for glitter paper. Mark it with a “D” to distinguish it as a duller blade, perfect for cutting through the heavier glitter paper.
-
Adhesive Choices:
-
Glitter paper is slightly heavier than regular paper, so opt for a stronger adhesive. Stampin’ Dimensionals work well for adhering embellishments to glitter paper.
-
To get adhesive to stick to the glitter surface, press down firmly on each dimensional or glue dot.
-
Color Coordination:
-
Let the glitter paper shine by pairing it with a neutral base. Whisper White card stock provides a clean canvas for colorful glitter accents.
-
Coordinate the colors from your glitter paper with stamped images or other elements in your design.
-
Bonus Tip: Coloring Techniques:
-
Use blender pens for detailed coloring (like stamped images) on glitter paper.
-
Aqua Painters work better for creating watercolored backgrounds.
Remember, a little glitter paper goes a long way, so have fun experimenting and adding that extra sparkle to your projects! ✨
