Craft Perfect Glitter Card comes in a fantastic array of different colours and is perfect for making cards as it is low shed!
When I’m using it, I tend to think of it in 3 different ways –
1. As a focal point i.e. with the glitter on the top of card with a different texture.
2. Full on glitz i.e. most of the elements are made from glitter card
3. As a background, peeping through die cut areas of card.
Whichever way you use it, it’s certain to give the wow! Factor to your cards!
I’ve made a card showing each of these ways of using Glitter Card and you can follow the steps below.
Focal Point
You will need the following:
- panel die from the Delightful Dresser die set
- sentiment and holly leaves from the Christmas Rose Stamp Club
- Welsh Gold Glitter Card
- Pink Chiffon Satin Effect card
- 7x7 Craft Perfect Bright White card
- White Gloss Crystal drops.
Step 1
Cut a piece of Pink Chiffon card measuring 16.5 cm x 16.5cm and die cut 4 of the dresser panels from Welsh Gold Glitter Card.
Step 2
Leaving a 0.5cm gap around the outside of the Pink Chiffon card, glue the first glitter panels on vertically in the bottom right corner.
Step 3
Glue the rest of the panels on as shown.
Step 4
Die cut the sentiments from glitter card and glue onto Pink Chiffon backing plates. Attach to the centre of the card with 3D foam pads.

Step 2
Die cut the plain Tulip shape from the Serendipitous Sepal set from Turquoise Lake glitter card and use the same die with the detail die to cut the pattern from Sugar Crystal card and glue together. Attach to the centre of the card with 3D foam pads and glue. Paper piece a Berry Fizz heart into the centre.
