Welcome to the this week’s 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: What’s the difference between the glitter types: Glitz, Crystals and Pearls?
A: It can get a little confusing can’t it? Glitz colors are brilliant and opaque with max sparkle. Crystals have a touch of color and mostly clear sparkle. Pearls have a solid lustrous color with more of a pearly effect than max sparkle. You can see how Colleen used the Pearls in her tip below!  Read more...

Q: From the t-shirt project that Jamie showed last week on Talk Tuesday, how well does the WonderFilm hold up after washing?
A: One of the keys is to wash the clothing before putting the WonderFilm on. This will allow the WonderFilm to stick directly to the fabric rather than the sizing on top of the fabric.  Read more...

Q: Why use a goat hair brush?
A: Embossing Powder, Glitter and our Art Acetates are made from plastic. Many soft brushes, including make up brushes, are also synthetic even though they look like hair. When you rub one synthetic against another, static electricity builds up and things stick together, i.e., glitter to the Art Acetates (in areas you may not want). A remedy for this is to use a natural hair brush, like the P K Glitz Goat Hair Brush. Brushing it over your acetates or even cardstock, minimizes static cling or build up.  Read more...

Hello Blog Readers! Welcome to the this week’s 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: I keep hearing about Art Acetates – what are they?
A: They are a wonderful and easy way to express your glittery self! An image in black is printed on a sheet of acetate (usually 4 of the same image per page) and you can color it with Crystal Lacquer on the dull side and embellish with glitter. Such a fabulous effect for ATC’s, cards and scrapbook pages! Many designs are available with new ones being added practically every day. Take a peek at some of the newest ones!  Read more...
