Glitter Sheets

What do you do with them? Are they just background papers, or are you supposed to do something else with them?

You can use them as backgrounds - or "cut" or trim them for accent papers in different shapes or to use in clusters. You can use them to frame photos to add some sparkle. Or "cut" letters from them for page titles. Here are a few examples of what my CT ladies did with some glitter sheets:

Ahhh, ok! I thought they were like cut files - and I've always ignored them! Thank you!

Have you tried blending them with other papers?

Have you tried blending them with other papers?

Here's one that I blended glitter papers with a Miss Fish Painter's template:

Another fun way to use them is to clip them to a title.

Thankyou for this thread as I used two glitter sheets on my Survivor Week 5 page today.

I think my favorite thing to do with glitter sheets is to clip them to paint!

 

[LilyAnn]

I agree! Just a little sparkle!

So glad you asked this question. I often wondered too. I love all the examples you guys posted. AWESOME!

Thanks for the question and all the examples. Makes me want to go find some and play now. I have only used them on a challenge once and didn't really love the way it looked afterwards so I haven't used them again.

I learned a technique from mommyish about changing papers into styles. So one of the things I do with glitter sheets is to change them into patterns. Very easy to do. Com/Ctrl A to select all and then to Edit define pattern and then you can use them as pattern overlays or as stroke patterns. Like I did with the photo strokes of these pics in this layout. The photos have yellow and blue shimmer papers as the stroke pattern ... the green middle paper was just clipped.

Thank you so much ladies!!! I really have some ideas how to use them now! I typically don't LIKE glitter IRL, so I don't think to use it on scrap pages. Using them clipped to paint is a great idea!!
