Please don’t apologize! I appreciate seeing somebody using a stamp set multiple times for a change as it’s my reality. I don’t waste my money on things, using them only once as many RU-vidrs seem to do.
Most youtubers are nothing more than a commercial to buy the latest new stamp or die or gadget. It’s refreshing to watch someone that doesn’t try to sell anything but rather shows techniques that we all can do with what we have.
I love how you use your stamp in so many different way. I think it’s very important to use what we have in as many ways possible. So no apology needed, you always make me think how many different ways can I use the stamp I’m about buy. I love both cards I have glitter I can put to use now. Thank you 😊
I have a 7 year old granddaughter that absolutely loves glitter and pink. This is a great way to include the glitter without glitter everywhere forever 😂. Thank you so much. I never would have dreamed this up on my own. 👍👍
Hi Natasha, your cards are beautiful and you never have to apologise for using your stamps and dies multiple times because we love what you teach us about getting good value out of our stash and different techniques we can do with them also and this is one of the reasons all your followers love your channel and how you make it about having fun also
I think I've seen you make your own glitter card before Natasha but very ingenious way of making it for oneself. Two beauitful cards with white die cuts and I agree with everyone don't apologise for getting the best use of your stash. Thanks once again for sharing a great tutorial Natasha
Purchased some glitter from the two dollar shop. When I got home I realise I had no idea how to use it. I am so grateful for this video. Thank you for your awesome idea
Lovely and oh so glittery! 😁Don't ever apologize Natasha, I am sure that all if not most, of us love the idea of repurposing our stash, in your famous words. I can only watch for now as it will take months of recovery for me. Hugs from across the pond 😍
Trapping glitter is my husband's solution. Trap and release into a trashcan, that is! Now I can release my inner glitter girl and keep the peace and harmony flowing! Thanks for a beautiful solution, Natasha.
Another great tutorial Natasha. I love bling but if I use glitter it usually ends up on my table, my clothes and every other surface within cooee. A fab idea!!
Brilliant just brilliant Natasha. Those cards are beautiful. I love your ideas. You have started a trend, I have also started to use up my stash of everything crafty. Thanks
Beautiful shine from this technique. Love it. For regular glitter I use two way strong adhesive tape from Scrapbooking Made Simple. Never had a problem that the glitter came of. I just rub it in with my finger. Thanks for sharing.
Great idea Natasha! I wonder if you can make a sheet of this and once it completely cools, die cut it? If so, the potential is enormous! The texture reminds me of enamel dots, so a die that makes small circles (or squares, stars, triangles, ... ) can make custom enamel dots. The thought of black holographic glitter “enamel” is particularly swoon inducing! It may even be possible to adhere it to double sided adhesive sheets before die cutting for convenience. Unless you’re using Stick It adhesive, it may be prudent to use a lighter/thinner cardstock, maybe 65 lbs. or around 120 gsm. I’m definitely going to try this tomorrow! Thanks again for another of your genius ideas, Natasha!
I have had so many gorgeous glitters for years and was looking for creative and mess-free (if there is such a thing) ways to use them. Thank you for the video. Will give using them with embossing powder a try.
Hi Natasha, thanks for sharing! I love how your cards have turned out - they’re gorgeous - and I also love that once again you have reminded me to use products I haven’t used for a long time! Utee is such fun to use, and I’ve never thought of using it to hold down glitter 👍🏼. I have used it with glitter, but slightly differently. I’ve sprinkled a little glitter into a layer of molten utee, and then continued by dropping several more layers of utee on top. If you sprinkle utee over still molten utee, then you don’t need to use your Versamark pad each time, and you’re less likely to make the careless error I made when I tried to put more Versamark ink onto utee that was still too hot 🥵 - half of my Versamark pad remained embedded into the utee - not a good look in either direction! 🤣😂. If you do use several layers of utee though and have some glitter in the first layer, it gives you real depth and you feel like you’re looking down into something trapped down in the layers - fun! You can also use utee directly onto cut out shapes - die cuts of very thick card work well and you get a something where the edges are beautifully rounded - like an enamelled pin, or brooch - gorgeous!!
This is brilliant. I have struggled with glitter falling off on my cards and this is just the video I need. I just need to get clear embossing powder as I do t have any. Thank you so much Natasha. I will be trying this soon
Wow! Love this technique. I have a lot of small amounts of various glitters ( I don’t like to throw anything away) and this looks like a fun way to use some.
What an awesome tip on using up plain glitter. I've been watching your videos for quite a long time now and you never seize to amaze me. I'm hoping at some point I will be able physically to begin card making again. for about a year I have not be able to use my arm and hand so, I've been trying to craft with one hand but it is not working for me. But I still look forward to watching for the next design, tip and creation that you will come up with.....
Both ways are just brilliant (pun intended!) and I have to give both a try. I think the thick embossing powder on top of the glitter gave extra depth, looked stunning. But the red ombré had the glitter structure, which is stunning as well. So depending on the effect I want, I can choose the technique. As others mentioned, you are brilliant!! I also read a comment using a laminator, and I definitely want to try that too. Thank you for sharing all these wonderful ideas 👍👍👍
So beautiful! I have a lot of Elizabeth Craft Designs silk microfine glitter...I use it with double sided tape. All I do is cover my card stock with the tape then cover the tape with the glitter and burnish it in with my fingers! That glitter isn’t going anywhere either! I will try your technique as it is so shiny! I love glitter! Thanks for sharing!
What is it about glitter that makes so many of us happy? Love the idea of making gift sets, especially when so many of us have "quite the stash" of glitter to use.
I have sprinkled glitter on top of emossing powder. They stick very strongly. I used the technique to mix gold and red on holiday cards, but a colored glitter with clear embossing power also works well. I generally have used a sticky glue powder to be used with glitter. First VersaMark ink, then glue-powder, then melt, then sprinkle glitter, then melt a little bit again. But the glue-powders can be expensive for a large project. I like your idea of using the Ultra Thick Embossing power. I have a jar of it and will try it out. Your cards are beautiful and I like it that you use the same stampsets over and over in so many different creative designs. :-) Thank you for sharing.
