Trying to beat the winter blues I decided to create some really dazzling spring flowers using P K Glitz glitter, WonderFilm, Ritzy Ditzy Glitz, and a few other items!

I thought the flowers would be a beautiful accent to these tins that I purchased at the Dollar Spot in Target. I used attached the pattern paper to the tins using  1/2 inch Sticky Tape and then I put a strip of 3/8 inch Sticky Tape along the top edge and applied a coordinating glitter to the tape. For just a little more bling, I used my Quickie Glue pen and some glitter crystals to accent some of the patterns in the paper. For the final touch, I attached one of my Dazzling Flowers to a ribbon bow and attached it to the top of the tin using 1/2 inch Sticky Tape. Isn’t Sticky Tape so versatile? I just love it!

The pink and blue tins hold my distress inks

The orange tin holds my Colorbox Cat Eye inks

The green tin holds my templates and stencils

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner but you still have time to make that special someone in your life a handmade card.  I was recently at an Heirloom show in Grapevine, Texas and did a cute make ‘n take at the Paper Cut booth. Of course I thought it needed a little “glitz” so I brought it home and altered it a little.

I covered the heart with WonderFilm and added Crystal Glitter Glitz to give it a lot of sparkle. I then used my Quickie Glue pen and White Pearl Glitter Glitz to add random dots on the background. As a final touch I outline the circle at the top with my Quickie Glue pen and added Black Glitter Glitz. Now my card has the sparkle it really deserves!

My son recently visited the Ft. Worth Stockshow and he got to take a couple of friends with him. They really had a great time and I wanted to create a page that reflected the day.

Supplies:
Sticky Paper (P K Glitz)
Amethyst and Gold Ritzy Ditzy Glitz (P K Glitz)
Chinese Firecracker E P Max (P K Glitz)
Crystal Glitter Glitz (P K Glitz)
Cardstock (Prism)
Patterned Cardstock (Basic Grey)
Cardstock Stickers (Basic Grey)
Border Punch (Martha Stewart)
Mask (Tim Holtz)
Flower Die Cut (BGlad Papercrafts)
Embossing Ink (Ranger)
Self Adhesive Transparency (Grafix)

Have you tried our new Ritzy Ditzy Glitz? It now has color and is a fun way to add shimmer to your cardstock as well as texture. Before starting my layout, I placed a mask across the top third of my cardstock and spritzed with Ritzy Ditzy Glitz Gold and Amethyst then removed the mask to get this subtle design across the page. Next I punched a border from P K Glitz Sticky paper and embossed it using Chinese Firecracker E P Max.

To add a bit of sparkle to the title I pressed the letters into my embossing ink pad and added Chinese Firecracker E P Max before adhering to my layout.

For the flower, I die cut the bottom two layers from patterned cardstock then spritzed them with Gold Ritzy Ditzy Glitz. The third layer of the flower (white) was die cut from P K Glitz Sticky Paper and I added Crystal Glitter Glitz. The center of the flower is made using the Brad Technique. I used Chinese Firecracker E P Max for the center.

Where can you get all of these fabulous products? In our P K Glitz store of course! Just click on “Store” in the left hand column of the blog.

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: Can you explain the “new and improved” Ritzy Ditzy Glitz (RDG)?
A: Sure! The original RDG gave dark papers a beautiful subtle color tinted shimmer, almost like an interference color. When sprayed on light paper, the shimmer was there, but no color change could be seen on the paper.

The “new and improved” RDG keeps the original gorgeous color tinted shimmer AND now adds color! What is so great about this improved product is that it layers very well. If you need deeper color, just spray until you reach the shade you’re looking for on your project. RDG still comes with the original quick dry quality and is available in 10 colors.

Diane became a fan of Ritzy Ditzy Glitz several years ago when she first purchased this product. We now have available “new and improved” Ritzy Ditzy Glitz! An instant shimmer is still achieved and now adds color! WOW!

There are 10 colors available in metallic and jewel tones. The quick drying property of this versatile product is amazing! Visit the store to check out the list of colors of Ritzy Ditzy Glitz!

Diane has played with this new formulated product and has some tips and pretty backgrounds to show you! Keep in mind that Diane lives in Indiana where they have snow and not much sunshine this time of year, so it may be difficult to see depending on your computer monitor. She’ll be posting actual samples using her backgrounds here soon so you’ll be able to see them in action!

Helpful tips and hints:

1. The color does settle on the bottom, so shake well until the color is completely dispersed.
2. Hold cardstock at a distance when spraying to get a uniform shimmery look.
3. Press pump completely down to avoid splotches.
4. Use a porous cardstock or material so that the spray stays put. Glossy cardstock will allow the spray to run (you may have a project for which you want that look), so keep that in mind.

The first sample is of Sapphire Ritzy Ditzy Glitz added to Ivory cardstock. It added color and shimmer (which was difficult to photograph) that transformed the ordinary solid colored cardstock into an elegant piece of cardstock.

In the next sample, the top piece of green cardstock has been sprayed with Gold Ritzy Ditzy Glitz. It gave this cardstock a WOW factor!

An effortless and fun technique to use Ritzy Ditzy Glitz is to get out those brass stencils or an overlay and create a pattern with the spray.

On the top example, a plastic overlay was used on light blue cardstock and sprayed with Sapphire Ritzy Ditzy Glitz. Diane sprayed it 3 – 4 times, waited a few seconds and sprayed again 3 – 4 times. You can spray it until you get the depth of color that suits you. On the middle example, the base was vanilla cardstock and sprayed with the Gold Ritzy Ditzy Glitz. The bottom example was on light blue cardstock with the Sapphire Ritzy Ditzy Glitz and a brass stencil.

What a fun product with many versatile functions. There are endless possibilities when playing with Ritzy Ditzy Glitz!
