Glitter Zig Zags

Hello.

Yesterday I shared a glitter tree card. Today? Same glitter but with chevrons. Yes, you will be seeing lots of fun techniques with this awesome glitter in the future. (And also in my A Cut Above class.) I normally am not a glitter person, but the way this looks like glitter velvet after it goes on is something I just love.

I also am just loving THESE new chevron zig zag dies from My Favorite Things. So fun…

Simple simple simple.

To create those zig zags, I covered some white cardstock with the double sided tape and then die cut it. After removing the release paper, I added glitter. To make the glitter turn velvety and stay put, I just rubbed it firmly with a bone folder. Fun, huh? Used some clear foam tape to pop them up.

HERE are the dies I used. I have a fun window card video coming up soon that will show these dies in a different way…

See you soon…

    love the glittery zig zaggy goodness! I have that clear foam tape on my wish list. Is there really a difference with that vs regular foam tapes and pop dots?

    Definitely loving the glitter – I anticipate a huge glitter revival, anytime now :)
    I have some other branded glitter, which is incredibly fine – Barbara Trombley’s – Art Glittering System!

    Thank you, Jennifer :)

    The glitter is one of my favorites to use. I am not a fan of the regular glitter because I end up wearing it as does everything in my studio. Add my vote for this being the best glitter around (burnishing it is the trick).

    Wow the glitter really makes the zig zag to pop! Very nice.

    Gorgeous! Nice technique. I hadn’t thought of using the bone folder to help adhere the glitter…great idea!
