Add That Extra Shine Without a Mess Using Glitter Paper!

Hello Altenew friends! This is Virginia here. Today's project will pique your interest if you love adding shimmer and shine to your projects. Better yet, it will NOT leave you with a glitter mess! We are using Altenew Glitter Gradient Cardstock! It is best to share how I use glitter paper to add shine through this Build-a-Garden Bougainvillea. 

Making It Shine With Glitter Paper

This stamp and die set covers the entire A2 card size. I am using the technique called “Inlaid Die-cutting”. This is where the stamped or die-cut image and glitter cardstock become seamless.

First, you stamp and stencil the image as instructed by following the guide on the package.

Next, use Gradient Glitter Cardstock and run the coordinating die across. Once cut, save the negative pieces and leftover glitter cardstock and put the stamped and die-cut piece back together like a puzzle.

You can totally skip the “Inlaid Die-cutting” part and simply add your die cut image over the glitter cardstock. However, the Inlaid Die-cutting makes this design more peerless and polished.

I made two cards with the Build-a-Garden Bougainvillea by using two variations with the Glitter Cardstock. “Thanks for all you do” card has just one strip of Glitter Gradient Cardstock (Golden Sunrise) as accent.

I hope you will now look at dies and Glitter Cardstock with fresh eyes. You will be amazed once you try out the Inlaid Die-cutting. This happens to be my last post as a design team member. I am honored and privileged to share numerous projects with unique Altenew products since 2017. Thank you for your wonderful feedback and support over the years. I wish you all happy crafting and stay happy and healthy.
