Twinkle, Twinkle Little...Dryer Sheet?

I tried and tried to get a photo showing how sparkly this is!
(It's very sparkly!)

We were all festively glittered after making this at our last Technique Club!


This technique is very simple;

  1. stamp
  2. cover the entire stamped card stock with a thick layer of glue from a glue stick
  3. smooth a used dryer sheet over card stock
  4. sprinkle Dazzling Diamonds glitter on top of dryer sheet and tap off excess

A new dryer sheet may smell better but it won't work for this! The glitter sticks in the little holes that a used dryer sheet has. Use a very fine glitter, like Dazzling Diamonds ;)

I don't iron clothes but I do iron my dryer sheets for this! If you refuse to iron, maybe you can leave a heavy book on your dryer and flatten the sheets as you pull the laundry from the dryer?

The ornaments are from the retiring set Hung Up on the Holidays.

The images from Lovely As a Tree are also gorgeous with the technique.

My tree branches are made with the set Peaceful Wishes.

Color combination is straight from the Color Coach; Garden Green, Brilliant Blue, Rose Red and Bravo Burgundy.
