This is a quick and easy technique for a sparkly card.
Clear packing tape
One or more punches to make your window(s)
Dazzling Diamonds™ glitter (or any other non-colored, fine glitter)
Cardstock to make window
Neutral cardstock to put underneath window (slightly smaller layer)
Cardstock to finish the card
Double-sided tape
Stamps
Step 1.
Punch one or more windows into your cardstock. My strip was 2 1/4" x 4".
Step 2.
Lay "window" cardstock over the neutral cardstock. My neutral cardstock piece was 2 1/8" x 3 7/8".
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.
Step 4.
Decorate the window cardstock.
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.
Step 6.
Rub glitter over the sticky side of the packing tape.
Tap off excess glitter and put it back in the container.
Step 7.
Flip window cardstock around again and add double-sided tape.
Step 8.
Line up neutral cardstock under the window cardstock and tape together.
Step 9.
Finish your card.
Just use one window.
Cut window with coluzzle.
