How to Create a Blended Glittery Background with Ease!

August 20, 2024

✨ Do you love adding a touch of sparkle to your crafting projects but hate the mess that glitter can leave behind? I shared on a Facebook LIVE some colour swatches of the popular Ranger product: Stickles!

I had so much fun showing off some of the new Stickles glitter glue colours 🌈 that are perfect for adding a bit of shimmer without any of the hassle.

Plus I shared a super quick mini-project creating a pretty blended glittery background, perfect for the foundation of a card or creative journaling layout.

In the background I crafted, I used Stickles, Distress Oxide, and other must-have supplies. If you missed it, no worries! You can [watch the replay here] and see how these products bring any project to life with vibrant colour and a perfect glittery finish. ✨

Here’s a quick look at what we used in this mini-project:

A4 Cracked Leather Cardstock: This textured cardstock adds depth and character to your background.
Blending Brush: Essential for smooth, even colour blending.
Distress Oxide in Shaded Lilac: A gorgeous shade that lays down a soft, dreamy base.
Stickles in Waterfall: The star of the show—this glitter glue adds that eye-catching shimmer with zero mess!

This project is perfect if you’re looking to experiment with blending techniques or just want to make your crafts a bit more fabulous with glitter. 🥰

Why Stickles?
Stickles glitter glue is a game-changer for crafters who love sparkle but dread the clean-up. Unlike loose glitter, it stays exactly where you put it, making it ideal for precise detailing or all-over shimmer. Plus, the colours are absolutely stunning—you’ll fall in love with every shade!

Want to give it a try? You can easily [shop the products used in this mini-project from my Ranger collection here] and create your own glittery backgrounds at home. Whether you’re making cards, journal pages, or scrapbooking, these products will take your designs to the next level.
