How To Use Earth Sparkles with Double Sided Adhesive

Prepare your glitter base
Cut your double-sided adhesive to A2 size and stick it to a cardstock panel. Die cut your sentiment shadow from this panel, ensuring the adhesive is on top (don’t peel the release paper yet!).
Add dimension
Use foam adhesive layered with cardstock to cut your main sentiment — this gives that lovely dimensional pop when mounted over the glittered base.
Stamp and colour your images
Tasha stamps her designs onto Superior Smooth cardstock and heat embosses them with Clear Gloss powder before colouring with alcohol markers. This combo helps avoid smudging and gives a clean, bold finish to your stamped lines.
Apply your Earth Sparkles
Peel back the adhesive backing and pour on either Prism Silver or Prism Gold Earth Sparkles. Gently burnish the glitter into the adhesive using your finger — this locks everything in place for a smooth, sparkly result with no fallout.
Assemble your design
Once your glitter pieces are ready, you can build your layout. Don’t worry if your original positioning feels off — Tasha shares a clever card-fix technique using glitter strips to restore balance and polish.
