Hi Kim, I like the sticky paper from PK Glitz so far, thats what I used to make this card:

I have been using a lint roller to collect stray glitter, but here Swiffer wipes do the trick, too.

Thanks, Kim!

I bought a set of Martha Stewart glitters a few months ago with a coupon and I just found them looking through my stash today!!(helps to clean off the craft area!) I can't wait to play with them.

I love glitter too, but don't use it that often. I find it from one end of my house to the other. And the rest seems to be floating around on me too! I guess I need a big plastic container of it or something to make it easier to use and seal back up. I always see Martha Stewart's glitter and it looks awesome. I bought some cyrstal coarse glitter of hers and never did try it. Also bought some flocking powder. Still waiting on me to use it. Thought I'd use it for xmas cards and never did..... Thought the flocking powder would of made pretty snow. I'm not even sure how to use the stuff.... One day I plan to play with it.

I just got home from M's looking for the $14.95 Cricut Solutions carts($14.95) they were out.
Then I was looking for those Martha Stewart fringe scissors($12.99), they were out...
Tried to decide on which album to buy for DDs grad album(25% off all Recollection albums)...couldn't decide which
color...blue or green??
I meant to look for some flocking...I bet they had that! ;)

Peggy, Have you tried a glue pad?

At the LSS today they were doing a demo of a new glitter from Elizabeth Craft (you can check it out online). The glitter is very fine and when placed on sticky paper of tape then burnished with your finger it felt and looked almost velvety. Elizabaeth Craft has lots of peel off stickers...a friend had told me about them last week so I have an order of stickers coming. The shipping was under $2!

I haven't tried a glue pad, but I have one. I'll give it a try. So you just GLUE the stuff down? That's it?

I have a glue pad, but have not tried it yet. I have just heard you could use it, if you don't have the sticky paper.
I will let you know, Peggy!
