Oh, how I love glitter! This was a fun technique I learned from a video tutorial by Tami White. I have been using some dryer sheets and stashing them away...in the same spot I'm saving other household castoffs such as paper towel rolls, bubble wrap, and shaving cream for making Pinterest inspired projects!
It's super easy to do. Basically, you take a very used dryer sheet, iron it flat, spray with adhesive (I've heard aqua net works well too), stick it to your stamped image panel, spread flat, then sprinkle liberally with Dazzling Diamonds glitter. I burnish the glitter to the dryer sheet by placing a piece of copy paper over it and pressing and smoothing with my hands, too. You'll have less glitter falling off that way. Not that I mind glitter falling, :) but some folks don't love it like we do!
I made a simple shadow box style card front with Apothecary Accents Framelits and Lacy Brocade Embossing folder, popped it up with Dimensionals, and tied a little Crumb Cake Scalloped Tulle to the top.
I love Lovely As A Tree. I hope it never retires. That, and French Foliage!
Here's the inside, from More Merry Messages and a little pine branch from Lovely As A Tree.
And there we go! One more for the Christmas shop. I plan to make lots of these, as the glittered panel is really a WOW, and is no trouble at all to put together.
