Video: Faux Colored Glitter Die Cuts

Hi there! A couple days ago I shared a video on creating no-mess glitter die cuts. I am back with another video with the same topic… but I also show how to get the look of colored glitter from clear.

In my last video, I showed how to create colorful glitter die cuts. However, I know many of us don’t have a ton of different colors of glitter. This video shows how to totally fake it by using colored cardstock behind clear, sparkly glitter.

This technique is very simple. After covering colored cardstock with double-sided adhesive, I ran it through my die cut machine with the fun My Favorite Things Red Delicious apple die. I then removed the rest of the release paper, added the clear and sparkly Elizabeth Craft Designs Cool Diamond glitter and rubbed it in like crazy. The glitter really stays put, but just to be safe, I added a clear embossing powder coating over it. Works perfectly! I created the banner from a My Favorite Things Vertical Strips die cut and stamped the greeting from the My Favorite Things Office Space stamp set.

I again heat embossed the My Favorite Things Diagonal background stamp with WOW Silver Pearl embossing powder on a grey cardstock notecard.

OK… I will take a break from glitter now. I don’t want to chase all you non-glitter people away. 😉

Before I leave, I have a few giveaway winners: Michele Ferguson (Mini Distress Inks) and Lisa/ThePurplePlace (Altenew & Color Cast Designs).

See you soon!
