{OWSE} All About Stickles

Ways using Stickles in your projects
By Lucy Chesna

We all know about stickles and how much fun it can to be to use them on your projects but do you know how to use them in your projects? I have a good amount of them in my stash and maybe use them 20% of the time in my layouts and cards. I want to show you that you can use them in a lot of things and they look great on whatever you use it on.

Stickles are a decorative glitter glue that come in many different colors and textures. You can write, paint, embellish, faux dots, outline, and so much more.

There are three types of Stickles available: Stickles, Distress Stickles, and Glitz Stickles. They are acid free, easy to use and variety of colors available. It lets you apply as much or as little as you want. All you do is squeeze the bottle.

Here are some ways you can use stickles in your projects*

You can outline the letters in your titles.
You can outline the patterns, pictures & designs on your patterned paper
You can make flowers glittery.
You can create photo corners
You can make firework photos glittery
You can make the "trails" from butterflies and dragonflies.

What a beautiful card Lucy! I also love stickles but had the impression they were going out of style.

Thanks for the refreshment!
