I think I've seen you make your own glitter card before Natasha but very ingenious way of making it for oneself. Two beauitful cards with white die cuts and I agree with everyone don't apologise for getting the best use of your stash. Thanks once again for sharing a great tutorial Natasha
Lovely and oh so glittery! 😁Don't ever apologize Natasha, I am sure that all if not most, of us love the idea of repurposing our stash, in your famous words. I can only watch for now as it will take months of recovery for me. Hugs from across the pond 😍
I love how you use your stamp in so many different way. I think it’s very important to use what we have in as many ways possible. So no apology needed, you always make me think how many different ways can I use the stamp I’m about buy. I love both cards I have glitter I can put to use now. Thank you 😊
Brilliant just brilliant Natasha. Those cards are beautiful. I love your ideas. You have started a trend, I have also started to use up my stash of everything crafty. Thanks
Purchased some glitter from the two dollar shop. When I got home I realise I had no idea how to use it. I am so grateful for this video. Thank you for your awesome idea
Another great tutorial Natasha. I love bling but if I use glitter it usually ends up on my table, my clothes and every other surface within cooee. A fab idea!!
Beautiful shine from this technique. Love it. For regular glitter I use two way strong adhesive tape from Scrapbooking Made Simple. Never had a problem that the glitter came of. I just rub it in with my finger. Thanks for sharing.
Great idea Natasha! I wonder if you can make a sheet of this and once it completely cools, die cut it? If so, the potential is enormous! The texture reminds me of enamel dots, so a die that makes small circles (or squares, stars, triangles, ... ) can make custom enamel dots. The thought of black holographic glitter “enamel” is particularly swoon inducing! It may even be possible to adhere it to double sided adhesive sheets before die cutting for convenience. Unless you’re using Stick It adhesive, it may be prudent to use a lighter/thinner cardstock, maybe 65 lbs. or around 120 gsm. I’m definitely going to try this tomorrow! Thanks again for another of your genius ideas, Natasha!
Beautiful cards!! I've mixed glitter in EPs before, & stored in an empty EP jar, & also used a heat & bond type powder, but those can be tricky. I love that you show ways to use what you have & also other ways to use UTEE. Mine has been in storage for some time now & is very old. I bought it to do a cracked glass technique, & also did a technique where while it was still hot you Inked a rubber stamp in black, & stamped down into the hot powder so it was similar to doing a wax seal. You can also do it with regular EP if you do about 3 layers. I have a dog tag punch, & used silver EP like that then punched with a dog tag shaped punch on a 6x6 scrapbook page when my son was in the army. I'd love to see a video on various ways to use UTEE. the cracked glass technique was to stamp whatever you wanted, or don't stamp, just coat the cs with versamark, then UTEE & heat. Repeat at least twice, it may have been more layers. Then put it in the freezer for I'm guessing 15-20 minutes. Take it out & start cracking the UTEE by holding parts between your finger of both hands, & snapping it, like you'd snap off a piece of a chocolate bar or something. The powder will break. Do small sections at different angles. Then use a sponge or something to sponge on some brown, or black dye ink, then rub it off with a tissue. It should come off the top, but still be down in the cracks. Wow, that was long. You are probably familiar with the technique, but hope it made sense if you haven't done it lol
Go to the earliest videos that Tash has posted. She did a lot with very little in the early ones. She often still does really. Choose a style you like and buy supplies for that first. Good luck
Hi Natasha, thanks for sharing! I love how your cards have turned out - they’re gorgeous - and I also love that once again you have reminded me to use products I haven’t used for a long time! Utee is such fun to use, and I’ve never thought of using it to hold down glitter 👍🏼. I have used it with glitter, but slightly differently. I’ve sprinkled a little glitter into a layer of molten utee, and then continued by dropping several more layers of utee on top. If you sprinkle utee over still molten utee, then you don’t need to use your Versamark pad each time, and you’re less likely to make the careless error I made when I tried to put more Versamark ink onto utee that was still too hot 🥵 - half of my Versamark pad remained embedded into the utee - not a good look in either direction! 🤣😂. If you do use several layers of utee though and have some glitter in the first layer, it gives you real depth and you feel like you’re looking down into something trapped down in the layers - fun! You can also use utee directly onto cut out shapes - die cuts of very thick card work well and you get a something where the edges are beautifully rounded - like an enamelled pin, or brooch - gorgeous!!
This is brilliant. I have struggled with glitter falling off on my cards and this is just the video I need. I just need to get clear embossing powder as I do t have any. Thank you so much Natasha. I will be trying this soon
I have had so many gorgeous glitters for years and was looking for creative and mess-free (if there is such a thing) ways to use them. Thank you for the video. Will give using them with embossing powder a try.
What an awesome tip on using up plain glitter. I've been watching your videos for quite a long time now and you never seize to amaze me. I'm hoping at some point I will be able physically to begin card making again. for about a year I have not be able to use my arm and hand so, I've been trying to craft with one hand but it is not working for me. But I still look forward to watching for the next design, tip and creation that you will come up with.....
Wow! Love this technique. I have a lot of small amounts of various glitters ( I don’t like to throw anything away) and this looks like a fun way to use some.
So beautiful! I have a lot of Elizabeth Craft Designs silk microfine glitter...I use it with double sided tape. All I do is cover my card stock with the tape then cover the tape with the glitter and burnish it in with my fingers! That glitter isn’t going anywhere either! I will try your technique as it is so shiny! I love glitter! Thanks for sharing!
Oh I'll have to try the first glitter/embossing clear idea for one of my trials to add an uneven run of diamond dust or snow glitter onto a die cut lantern I'm working on. I want to edge the ivory cards with a gold edge but for the white shimmer paper I'm leaning towards a dusting of snow or snow caps on the roof tops and tree tops. To provide some eye catching sparkle when lit from within by a tea light. These cards can be made three design layers deep. One row all the way around and secured to a circle with 8 tabs. A second not as long laer 1/4" approx inside the first and again all the way around with 8 tabs. Finally there are two four tab cut outs. You can chose to cut one or two different designs out. One is two deer and the other is a bunny and squirrel die. You can use two of one or one of each so you can turn the card around and have a different look. Anyway the second layer in is trees. The first layer has some buildings. Then there are the cute critters and trees too. I'll gift with a tea light with timer where you set one evening and it'll stay lit for 4-6 hours then the next evening on it'll turn on for 6 hours or so each time and off. So you don't have to turn on and off every night for one to two weeks depending on battery life and size of teal light bulb. Almost two weeks is normal it seems with the tea lights I usually buy. I'll gift a second battery with note tucked in to store out of reach of children under 3-4 years of age depends on maturity of children of course but grandparents and parents alike might appreciate the reminder. Anyway I also want to use glitter without flaking bits off. I hate giving cards that shed glitter. I hate getting them so I can only believe others will appreciate no leaking too. I'm not sure diamond dust will be glittery under a layer or melted down into clear embossing powders? I have light, medium and heavy WOW clear glossy powders so ready to experiment. I think I'll experiment with scraps first before attempting to add to the expensive lanterns to make. They will require approx. 5 sheets of paper or 4 depending on size. You also need for two of them a larger die machines like Spellbinders 8.5 platinum machine. I have both sizes. I also have used these WOW clear embossing powders with small griddles instead of a heat gun. I'm afraid my larger dies won't fit to do that and it'll be back to the blowing heat gun and from the underside to prevent blowing away the powders. thanks for these ideas they are helpful for sure.
I have a 7 year old granddaughter that absolutely loves glitter and pink. This is a great way to include the glitter without glitter everywhere forever 😂. Thank you so much. I never would have dreamed this up on my own. 👍👍
Both ways are just brilliant (pun intended!) and I have to give both a try. I think the thick embossing powder on top of the glitter gave extra depth, looked stunning. But the red ombré had the glitter structure, which is stunning as well. So depending on the effect I want, I can choose the technique. As others mentioned, you are brilliant!! I also read a comment using a laminator, and I definitely want to try that too. Thank you for sharing all these wonderful ideas 👍👍👍
Please don’t apologize! I appreciate seeing somebody using a stamp set multiple times for a change as it’s my reality. I don’t waste my money on things, using them only once as many RUclipsrs seem to do.
Most youtubers are nothing more than a commercial to buy the latest new stamp or die or gadget. It’s refreshing to watch someone that doesn’t try to sell anything but rather shows techniques that we all can do with what we have.
I have sprinkled glitter on top of emossing powder. They stick very strongly. I used the technique to mix gold and red on holiday cards, but a colored glitter with clear embossing power also works well. I generally have used a sticky glue powder to be used with glitter. First VersaMark ink, then glue-powder, then melt, then sprinkle glitter, then melt a little bit again. But the glue-powders can be expensive for a large project. I like your idea of using the Ultra Thick Embossing power. I have a jar of it and will try it out. Your cards are beautiful and I like it that you use the same stampsets over and over in so many different creative designs. :-) Thank you for sharing.
Trapping glitter is my husband's solution. Trap and release into a trashcan, that is! Now I can release my inner glitter girl and keep the peace and harmony flowing! Thanks for a beautiful solution, Natasha.
I love this! I never would have thought of using glitter that way. I have a lot of glitter and embossing powder, now I know how I'm going to use it up. Thank you so much for sharing this technique.
I love how you can seal the glitter... will take my glitter back out of my stash and start using it again...I finally got the petal trio stamp from woodware.. I was looking at sales with scrapbook.com and they had it in stock... grabbed that one and the daisy one... love those stamps...
Hi Natasha, your cards are beautiful and you never have to apologise for using your stamps and dies multiple times because we love what you teach us about getting good value out of our stash and different techniques we can do with them also and this is one of the reasons all your followers love your channel and how you make it about having fun also

What a great way to get a glitzy background with all the glitters we have! Beautiful but simple cards! The background steals the show!
Glitter is my favorite thing! I love it because it is so sparkly. This is a great technique. Your cards look wonderful.
What a fun technique! Gorgeous backgrounds and lovely cards! 😍
I think it is great that you use your products over and over that's the way it should be!!! What lovely cards!!!
I agree with Beth! This is a genius technique 👏 I'm not a big glitter user, but this could change my mind. Thank you so much, Natasha🧡
Oh my goodness! I have lots of glitter, but hate the mess! What a wonderful idea to seal in all that glittery goodness. 😍😍
This is such a fantastic idea. I really like the simplicity of the cards. Very clean.
Love it ! Its wild and fun ..Thank you again for another wonderful class!! Have a Beautiful Blessed Day!
Genius! I rarely use my glitter, because of the mess it can make, but this is a great method of using it. I love, love, love sparkle!
What a clever idea. I love loads of glitter to do this technique. So thank you so much for sharing this idea. 😊
These cards are simply gorgeous 💜
Great way to use up some of the glitter, love it, another fantastic idea by the one and only Natasha. Your brilliant. Tfs
So different but so beautiful Natasha. Love them.
What a great technique. I love the colors of glitter that you used. Thanks for sharing.

Brilliant just brilliant Natasha. Those cards are beautiful. I love your ideas. You have started a trend, I have also started to use up my stash of everything crafty. Thanks
I have soo much glitter. Capturing it in embossing may be my best way to glitter freedom.
Great way to use glitter. Beautiful card as always. Thank you for sharing.
Who doesn't like glitter I have so much and I have a reason to use them thanks for sharing hugs and smiles from California
Very pretty. I’m impressed with how you used the VERSA mark and embossing powders.
Purchased some glitter from the two dollar shop. When I got home I realise I had no idea how to use it. I am so grateful for this video. Thank you for your awesome idea
What a great idea and I love the white on top, brilliant!!

Did it work? I am excited to hear how it went.
Excited to try this! I have beautiful Martha Stewart glitter that I haven’t pulled out in 5 years. Great vid as usual. Thanks 🙋♀️💋
What beautiful simple cards Tash. Nailed it again♥️
Beautiful, bright, shiney ombre cards without the mess - love them both 🌻🌻

Thank you for a great way to apply glitter. So pretty and no mess. Two inspirational ideas. 💕
I have a love/hate relationship with glitter. 😂 This method is certainly eye catching on a card! Janet 💖👍🤗

Really pretty cards! I love this technique. I really need to try it.
Wonderfully easy way to use up glitter without the mess. Thanks heaps.
This is ingenious, Natasha ❣❣❣
Natasha I love your very helpful videos! Great idea can't wait to give it a go. Hugs from England 😍😍💕💕🐶🐶🇬🇧👍🏻👍🏻

Your cards always turn out so, so pretty tfs x
Brilliant now I can get rid of all my glitter without covering all the recipients. Keep on with these wonderful tips Natasha. X

Genius idea. Going upstairs to my craft room now to try it. Thanks!
