Default Glitter Puzzle Technique

I need some instructions on how to do "Glitter Puzzles". Please help! I have seen that Beate has done some beautiful cards using that technique. I'm also wondering how it is done that the glitter doesn't mix together! Hmmm! Is it hard to do?

I know right now Beate's up to her ears in glitter right now - she had to call in for reinforcements, lol - so I will reply. There are good instructions on the Fishy Friends card in Beate's gallery, also. We did that one with glitter and sand. Anyway:

- Run a 1/4 sheet of cardstock through your Xyron.

- Use craft knife or Coluzzle to cut a pattern on the Xyroned side. Don't remove the sticker backing yet! Try free form lines, circles, any shapes.

- Peel off sticker backing and apply glitter to each section separately. You'll want to press it in with your fingers, and clean it all off the sticker backing that remains on the card before you proceed to the next color of glitter.

- Keep on peeling and pouring and cleaning till entire 1/4 sheet is covered in glitter.

- Cut acetate (transparency sheet) to fit over glittered cardstock, and frame, mount as you wish.

- You can stamp on the acetate with Stazon, mount images directly on the transparency, do a floating image, the possibilities are endless.

- OOOH, Sparkly! By the way, *you* will be sparkly by this time, too!

If this is totally confusing, I apologize. But rest assured! Beate has created a technique tutorial for the Glitter Puzzle - It's in the works to be added to the resource link soon! (Right, Daven?)

A small hint for the glitter puzzles...

My Xyron cartridge ran out and I had a good idea for a glitter puzzle (or so I thought), so I used 2-way glue. I would not try it! You think you are glittery before! That's just my small suggestion, don't use 2-way glue. I think we need 24 hour craft stores for emergencies like this :!:

I would love to have a 24 hour craft store in my area! That would be great for all of us late nighters. I can't even count how many times I ran out of some thing or wanted to add some other embellishment and I didn't have it. It gets frustrating!!

Tried this, and it took a little practice, but I really love it!
