Default Glitter

When is the BEST time to apply glitter. I have found that if I do it BEFORE I adhere it and if I 'pop' it, I sometimes lose the glitter. Is it recommended when I have the card completed and then it would be my LAST step.

Thank you.

Thank you.
If it's Stickles or glitter glue, I make sure it's the last thing I apply, so I can set the card to the side and let it dry all the way. Otherwise, I WILL smudge it and ruin it.

Loose glitter, if applied with liquid glue I also apply last. If I'm using scor-tape to glitter a whole embellishment or a stripe on the card, then I don't worry about order. If you pour the glitter onto the tape and burnish it well (put down a piece of printer paper and rub over the glitter well to push it down into the tape), it stays put and doesn't flake off.

Oh Cheryl, thank you so much. It's loose glitter (with liquid glue) and so NOW I know what to do. Much appreciated.

Thanks again.
