Here are a couple of places (I think)that sell Glitter Ritz.
Precious Memories in Langley, BC (http://www.myscrapbookshop.com/) and Photo Express foto source in Maple Ridge. I am sure there are many other places as these two individuals (Haroldine Wingfield and Deanna Pannell) from this area have given many classes in several provinces about their technique.

I LOVE Glitter Ritz. The store that started the Glitter Ritz craze with the Burnished Velvet technique is called "Be Creative Stamping". They have a website, but it really only has their address. They're located in Pitt Meadows, BC in the bottom floor a small house. It's located about 30 minutes SE of Vancouver. Be Creative Rubber Stamps

I recently visited the store and everyone was super nice. They love to talk about stamping. They also have the MOST outline stickers I've ever seen in one store. Prices are very reasonable.

The micro glitters are $5.75 CDN for the opaque colors & $6.50 CDN for the transparent colors (warm, cool, green & blue). You can color over the top of the transparent colors with glaze pens to make a stained glass look. The outline stickers are $5.25 CDN for the gold/silver/black/white outlines and $5.75 CDN for the double sided sticker outlines (you apply glitter to the top of the sticker).

Here are some links to tutorials I've seen (sorry there are so many):

p.s. I also found a couple of stores that sell the Glitter Ritz online: 7kidscollegefund.com & stampingscrapping.com. I ordered from stampingscrapping.com and got great service. I've read that 7kidscollegefund.com is also very good.

Default Glitter Ritz TM - burnished Velvet

We have the product in our store, absolutely love it... thanks to everyone who was able to direct us to the folks that were selling it. Don't miss our 25 Cards in 5 Classes where we teach at least 1 burnished velvet technique card. The two ladies (Haroldine Wingfield and Deanna Pannell) who designed this technique have given us many ideas. Thank you very much ladies.

We have all the colors in stock, all the tape sizes that you will ever need, and ideas galore to use this wonderful products. New outline stickers [Peel-offs] coming in very soon! Lovely black lined butterflies, oriental ladies, etc.

We are a Canadian store in Brampton, Ontario.

Thanks Colleen. I'm always trying to get to this store as I live about 20 mins from it. I saw them demonstrating the product at the show in Langley last October and didn't buy any then. Cherish the Thought in Port Moody also stocks the glitter.
