Art Institute Glitter!!

First off, the Blog Candy Winner from the Silver/Blue/White blog is: Jolanda!!! Congratulations!
Please email Fran@simonsaysstamp to claim your 6 x 6 Kioshi paper!!!
Winter isn't over yet and there's plenty of Faux Snow to go around! Here in Ohio it snows through February and sometimes even March! Anywho, Faux Snow by Art Institute is a great embellishment because it really does look like snow. Don't need snow, but have a Santa or something with fur or a beard? Add this for a realistic look!

Art Institute has glitter in a multitude of sizes so that you will be set for any project. I like these Dazzlers because they are chunky flakes and have a nice gleam. Bubblegum and Lollipop would be gorgeous to embellish your Valentine's Day cards too!

  4. My fave ways to use glitter right now are using Stickles (I have lots of colours! But you can never have too many, right?!) to add precision sparkle detailing. Also I've been adding quick glitter stripes with different widths of double-sided tape, and applying fine glitter direct to the sticky stripe! So easy and big wow factor!
    Thanks for the giveaway chance, Ruth S

  15. Seems I use a lot of glitter lately. Just a touch here or there adds a lot. This year, I glittered birds and wreaths on cards, used it for snow (of course) and edged some paper ornaments. You can never be too rich, too thin or have too much glitter!
