Just add some glitter to it!

When in doubt, add glitter.  That's a rule I tend to like to live by, because glitter just makes everything better.  I have a great tip for adding glitter, which I believe I learned from watching a video somewhere out there on youtube.  I appologize to whomever it was who first came up with this technique, because when I started REALLY getting into using my Cricut, I watched TONS and TONS of videos on youtube, and have no idea which site I found it on.  I think there's probably several.  OK, so here's a quick and easy way to add glitter to projects!  you need:
Xyron sticker maker (I used the 5", but you can use whatever size fits your project needs)
diecut
glitter

oops! upsidedown!

Step one, run your diecut face down through your xyron, so that the adhesive is applied to the top side of the design.  Peel it off that paper, and cover with glitter



Sometimes, when I'm in a hurry, the adhesive from the Xyron might skip a spot or 2 in coverage... This is not a problem, just use a glue pen to dab on the blank spots, and cover up with glitter.

Ta-da!  To show how well this covers, I used green paper.  You can't tell can you?

Happy crafting!
