I am making 20 Christmas cards for a woman I work with. I am putting Dazzling Diamonds on the front of every card. Is there a way that when the front of the card is touch a ton a glitter won't come off on your hands?
Thanks
Why don't you use Stickles...you get the glitter look and once it dries it doesn't come off at all.
Can you get Stickles in a dazzling diamond type *clear* finish? I want to add some glitter directly over a stamped an colored image and don't want to hide the lines and coloring/
I use the two way glue pen from SU, it works very well for holding my glitter on. I just bought some stickles, but havent tried them out yet so cant comment

You sure can. There are *clear* finishes of Stickles. I love stardust ..lets the image right through and adds lovely, sparkly glitter without the glitter mess. I really can't say enough good about stickles...I'm a sparkle nut,and I just love this stuff!
I've gotten some of mine online from Addicted to Rubber Stamping but if you have a Recollections near you they sell them too. I know other online stamp places sell them too but I can't think of names off the top of my head right now!
I got my Stickles really cheap at frugalities.com. I know some people have had issues, but I had no problems. Fast and super cheap when it was 49% off.
Many stamp/scrapbook stores also sell them. Someone mentioned Archivers and Joannes has the same type of product unfer a different name. I also use stickles over glitter as there is no mess to put it on and it does not flake off at all. There are a few different clear/sparkle kinds. Diamond, Frosted lace, Irridescent Ice are all very nice looking. I have all 3 of them.
I love Stickles, and use it on almost every card I make. But, Dazzling Diamonds just has more sparkle.
I also use 2-way glue, and just smush it down into the adhesive while it's still wet, and give it a few really good taps to get the loose stuff off. Works fine.
If it's still "shedding", maybe try spray sealer.
