I have been looking at several cards that I love that list stickles as an accessory. What are they? Where do I get them? How do I use them? I NEED TO KNOW. It adds such sparkle to the cards. It is a must have.

Hey Grape! I Private Messaged you - but I noticed you were new to the site - so just in case - I am posting the message here.
I noticed your comment on my Alphabet Soup card.
Stickles is a glitter glue. Not messy like dazzling diamonds and the glitter EP. They come in little .5 oz bottles with a fine applicator tip. They are totally self explainable when you have them in hand on how to use them.
They are great for EVERYTHING YOU MAKE!
I am a TAC (The Angel Company) demo and we sell about 12 colors thru them. (they are 2.25 a bottle). And they last a long time. I have not run out yet and have been using the same colors for over a year or more.
Otherwise - they sometimes carry them at local stamp stores, Hobby Lobby, Archivers.
The colors that are the best:
Crystal (TAC carries this one)
Icicles (TAC carries this one)
Diamond
Stardust
Orange (TAC carries this one)
Yellow
Black Diamond (TAC carries this one)
Silver (TAC carries this one)
Gold (TAC carries this one)
Hope I could help! If you want to order them through me I would be happy to send them to you. You can pay me via paypal or send a check. I have sent them to a few people here at SCS.
Stickles - a bottle of glitter glue which comes in a wide variety of colors to jazz up your drab and listless cards! Glitter Girl is the all time expert in the use of and where to buy.

WELL they're the coolest thing EVER!!!!! :-)
I've had some of my bottles for over 6 years. They last quite a while.
They're made by Ranger. Here's the link to all of the colors: http://www.rangerink.com/product_stickles.html
If you don't buy some from Colleen - and I'd highly recommend it. She's a great BUDDY ;-) to have!!! - you can find them at a local stamp store near you.
I'm pretty sure the main page of the Ranger site has a store locater.
There are also places online that sell them like Addicted To Rubber Stamps.
Hope you get some and start spreading the glittery love!!
The very important thing to remember about stickles is that you MUST set the project aside to dry, perhaps as long as 24 hours, or stickles will smudge. My preference for glittery accents is a fine tipped glue pen, with prisma glitter poured over, and then poured off. Its a neat glittery look....stickles can be overwhelming!!! A light hand is a good thing!

I have to disagree with you there rubie. Stickles does not need 24 hours to dry...it might take an HOUR at the longest. And if you just dab a little here and there it dries even quicker than that.
Stickles elminates the mess of pouring glitter on and off. It super easy!

From experience the problem with glitter (and I really love it on some things) is that you have glitter everywhere not just on the little bit of glue that you put on your c/s. Stickles on the other hand go just where you put it and not all over your table.

I use stickles A Lot and I find that they dry in 30 min or so,,,,,as long as I don't Really build it up, but even then I find within an hour they are dry to the touch. It always surprises me how quick I can work w/ the paper afterwards.
I think it also depends on how much you use on the card. I didn't have to wait 24 hours, but about 2 hours for the one I did with the heart. It was worth it though. I can't stand the mess pouring the glitter on the card makes. I find glitter everywhere afterwards.

Boy am I glad I read through this thread! I did one project with glitter about a month ago and I'm still picking glitter off of everything! I knew there had to be an easier way! Thanks for all the tips from all you glitter pros!

I have had a chance to try my Stickles now and I am hooked. What a great and easy way to add pizzazz to your work! I highly recommend trying it. I found a couple 3-packs a JoAnn's.
