Dazzling Diamond Dust Technique is a glitter lovers dream technique!  Why you ask?  Because it won’t come off and leave glitter all over the place (unless that’s what you want)  

Here is HOW to do this technique:

SUPPLIES:

  • Stampin’ Up! Heat Embossing Tool
  • Stampin’ Up! Heat & Stick Powder
  • Stampin’ Up! Dazzling Diamonds Glitter
  • VersaMark Ink Pad
  • Image stamped with Stazon Black Ink

Here is how it works. 

Get your stamped image – Here I used the Crazy for Cupcakes and Wagon Full of Fun Stamp Sets

Just put the pad on your paper and then move it across.  Be careful to get every inch of the card stock.

Now you want to get your Heat and Stick Powder and your Powder Pal

Now take your image that has the Versa Mark on it and cover the ENTIRE IMAGE with the Heat and Stick Powder.  When you are done it will look like this:

Next get your heat tool and move it over the image till it starts to turn from the white to a sticky glaze look.  IMPORTANT: Do not heat image too long or the heat and stick powder will lose it’s sticky ability.

It will look like this dazzling diamond dust 9 www.1stclasscreativity.com

Immediately after the image is sticky you want to cover the image with the Dazzling Diamonds Glitter, just like you did the Heat and Stick Powder.  It will look like this:

Next you want to use your Heat Tool over the entire image just like you did before with the Heat and Stick Powder.   This “sets” the glitter.

Using the Heat and Stick Powder with the Glitter makes it so the glitter won’t fall off!  Perfect for Scrap-booking and Card Making!
