P K Glitz, Inc.

Welcome to the next edition of “Talk Tuesdays“! Today is the day that we post answers to questions that we’ve received either in our blog comments, from the shows we attend or emails. Come back every week and you’ll find the answers to those questions!

Q: You mentioned last month that there are some new glitter colors coming. Are they ready yet?
A: YES, they are! We have 6 new Pearls Glitter Glitz colors and 12 new Transparents Glitter Glitz colors! You can find them in the Store on the Glitter Glitz and purchase them in the Wheel 6-packs if you know you need them all! They are labeled as “Pearls”, “Transparents I” and “Transparents II”.

We’re adding a new section to our Talk Tuesdays! Our new Design Team members will be sharing tips and tutorials with you on their new experiences using our products! Our tutorial today is brought to you from Colleen. Great job Colleen!!

While I’m sure you’ve seen these little paper flowers, like the one on my card last week “A Friend“….I wanted to share with you how I made them! While they take a little time, they are super cute and can be made to match any project you are doing!! You’ll need to get your supplies ready before you start….so your shopping list should include: Ritzy Ditzy Glitz in your favorite color, Glitter Glitz in a matching color, Sheet music or other printed copy, scalloped punch, glue, brads, pretty flower centers and leaves, if you want them. Once you have all that…you’re ready to start!!

First: Punch out circles, I used scalloped vintage sheet music for mine but you could use, dictionary pages, your child’s old artwork, scrapbook scraps…..

Then: Spray lots, okay as much as you want, of Ritzy Ditzy Glitz, I used “Turquoise” on mine and the shimmer is really happy! Wait until dry.

Next: Put glue on the edges of the scallops and sprinkle with lots of Glitter Glitz, I used “Lagoon” on mine! Really, look at how pretty that pile of glitter looks!! As you can see in the photo, I pierce mine and do several at once!

This is what the edges look like all glittered…pretty huh?!

When the glitter has dried (I cheated and used a heat tool), you’re going to stack at least five on top of each other and and put a small brad in the center of each one.

Next, you’re going to crumple up each layer, carefully, pushing each layer toward the center of the flower….Guess what?…You’re almost done!

Add a pretty center, anything you like and if you want to add a leaf…do that too! Looky….now you have beautiful flowers to use on your next project!!!

This tutorial is my first tutorial ever! I hope it has been helpful to you and that you make lots of beautiful flowers! Please come back and show us the beautiful flowers you’ve made because we would LOVE to see yours! If you have any questions, helpful hints for more tutorials or need help with making your flowers…just let us know!!! Have Fun!! Hugs, Colleen
