I took the idea to an extra level, glittering both die cuts that were layered.
I have loved using the Tag Sale #4 die as an ornament on many cards this year and die cut another one today. I also die cut both sizes of the chevron border die.
I followed Heather's instructions and ran the border pieces through my Xyron and then sprinkled glitter over the adhesive side. I then ran my tag through the Xyron and then adhered the glittered chevron pieces to the adhesive side of the tag. White glitter was then sprinkled over the tag and stuck to the remaining exposed adhesive parts of the tag.
This tag has an impressed circle that did not really pick up the Xyron adhesive, so I added a line of Rock Candy Stickles to fill the circle.
A few stray pieces of glitter ended up in the wrong place, but I am amazed that most of it is exactly where I wanted it! A ribbon bow and bells are added and the tag is popped of the Smoky Shadow base with foam adhesive.
The stamped sentiment is from Think Big Favorites #9 and looked a little flat against the glitter. It was too late to heat emboss, so I went to Erin's Make It Monday #94 tip from last week and ran a glue pen over the sentiment. The white glitter adds just the right amount of sparkle.
I LOVE this layered glitter technique - thanks Heather!
