for a ROCKIN do-it-yourself tutorial!
WOW! After I posted my goody package, from my Secret Friend, I received over 200 emails, asking about WHERE you can buy that pkg, of full glitter Prima’s.
Well, considering I have NO IDEA “who” sent it to me I couldn’t answer that question. I myself had never seen a pack like that. There was an obvious NEED for people to have these immediately!
Ask and you shall receive 😀
SOLUTION!!! Make them yourself!
Now I KNOW the possibilities for this are ENDLESS! Think of all the UGLY color Prima’s you have, that came in the bottle with the colors you love! LOL!
Now think-punched flowers as well!
Any shape-any size-you name it! You can now GLITTERFY it! (That is a Lauren word so not correcting me OK!) You ahve the color of glitter, then you can have a Prima or other option in that exact color.
Here is what you need-
Decoupage glue-with brush * Glitter * item to be glitterfied * tweezer’s-it gets messy!
Brush glue onto object-like so
Dip item into glitter
Tap off excess, let dry.
Add to card, ot project of choice.
The glue really holds the glitter on there NO PROBLEM! You can even “sculpt” your Prima to dry in whatever position you want, because when it dries it hardens right up.
Here is a sample using the flower I made.
Flower-Fun to Be Floral
Leaf-In the Treetop
Sentiment-Say it in Script (LOVE THIS SET)
Kept this very clean and simple, as to show you the impact of the glitter flower!
I just used my Matt Pack and pierced a border for added interest! It takes a simple, single layer card from an Oh, to an OOOHHHH!!! AAAAHHHHHH!!!!!! LOL!
Hope you like my mini tutorial! It was alot of fun, and very easy to do!
Till tomorrow.

What a super duper idea! This card is so cute, but I must comment on the sentiment. This really spoke to my heart today. It’s kind of a tough day here in Ohio. I guess I am reflecting on this time last year. Thank you for the pretty design and for sharing your talent.
Oh my goodness, I have that Martha glue (LOVE the built in brush) and I do have some of those awful colors of Prmas! LOL This is a great tutorial, you are something else! Thank you SO MUCH for all you do for us, and for taking the time to help us out! Have a GREAT weekend! 😀
Aha! Well, now I was wondering how to make these myself, and now I know. Thanks.
Nicely Done… Lauren!!
I love your clean and simple card…

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

(insert ‘squeal’ here)
Totally cool, Lauren. I *knew* you’d think of a way to make this work.
Great card, too, btw 🙂

Ooohhhh!! Aaahhhhh! Sheer genius girlfriend!
Way to go Lauren! Thanks so much for always sharing your “light bulb” moments with all of us. I’m off to try this! Ann
Whoah!! that is SUPERcool!!!! I am SO trying that out! thanks for sharing 🙂
What a cute tutorial. I’ll have to try this!
OMW! Awesome! Oh, the possibilites. Love you, Lauren!
You should be named the “Queen of Everything”. Something else to buy to try. Thanks, Susie
Oh my goodness! This is fantastic!!! Thank you so much for sharing this very cool idea. I cannot wait to purchase that glue.
Alright Lauren, one of the 7 swaps I have due on Feb 15 is going to have glittered flowers! I didn’t use primas but I used bitty blossoms. I also didn’t have the glitter glue you have so I used mod podge.. I just used the tweezers and dipped it in the mod podge, dripped the excess off, dipped it in the glitter and I have some gorgeous bronze flowers.
Thanks for the FANTASTIC ideas!!
What a cool idea! love it and i LOVE that card!
Thanks so much for the tutorial! I was trying to think of ways to *glitterfy* Prima’s when I saw that post, and was thinking most of my glues were too heavy or wet and the Prima would lose its shape. The decoupage glue seems like a fab idea!
Do you think I could use SU! Crystal Effects to do this??
Fantastic idea. I’m off to change those horrible colours I have left to ‘glitterfied’ flowers. Thanks so much!
Sweet….Love everything about this!!!
i have the glitter glue made by martha i wonder if it would work i will have to try it on the flowers. i know it works well on chipboard. love your card. thanks for the awesome idea.
wow – I would never have thought to glitterfy a prima – SUPER COOL idea – and it looks great. Gotta try that now…
That’s so stinkin’ awesome!!! Now I’m off to glitterfy some Primas…
Great idea! I haven’t been doing scrapping for awhile, This will give some of my papges a kick.
Oh oh oh oh!!! How does it feel to be THAT amazingly creative?! I need to go make these right now.
Thanks!
