Glitter Window

This is a quick and easy technique for a sparkly card.

Supplies

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   Punch one or more windows into your cardstock. My cardstock strip measured 2 1/4" x 4".
   

   

2. Step 2

   Lay "window" cardstock over the neutral cardstock. My neutral cardstock piece was 2 1/8" x 3 7/8".
   

   

3. Step 3

   Stamp the images you want to see through the window onto your neutral cardstock. If you just have one window, just stamp it on a bigger piece of neutral cardstock and trim it later. If you have several windows like in this example, stamp your images through the windows.
   

   

4. Step 4

   Decorate the window cardstock.

   

5. Step 5

   Flip window cardstock over and apply packing tape over the windows. The sticky side of the packing tape will face the stamped side of the cardstock.
   
   

   

6. Step 6

   Rub glitter over the sticky side of the packing tape.
   
   
   
   

   

7. 
   Tap off excess glitter and put it back in the container.
   
   

   

8. Step 7

   Flip window cardstock around again and add double-sided tape.
   

   

9. Step 8

   Line up neutral cardstock under the window cardstock and tape together.
   

   

10. Step 9

    Finish your card.
