Stumped on a project, application or product? Send me a note with your crafty crisis. I'll do my best to come to the rescue! AND - if you are a clever crafter and can offer a suggestion, please post a comment :-) Sunday, June 13, 2004Glitter varnishI'm hoping you can help me locate something for a project I am working on for a client. You reference a "glitter varnish" on your website. I am printing some event tickets and need to add a glitter effect (on top of a metallic ink). We really don't want to do it by hand (there are 6000) since we know we will all glow in the dark by the time we get done. Do you know of any companies that sell a varnish with glitter than can be used by a traditional printer? Thanks in advance for your assistance. Mikki Hi Mikki! There is a process in printing where they can apply a thin, rubbery layer of glitter over printed material. I've seen it used on greeting cards, book covers, t-shirts and such. However, I noticed it can be easily peeled/scratched off. I would check with your local printer and ask about the process. I think what I would do is go with glitter accented paper. imagine how it would look with the metallic ink you mentioned! Check your local Yellow Pages for a paper warehouse store. Here in Phoenix, we have Kelly Paper and they have different shades of glitter stock. There is also glitter vellum paper that you could incorporate in the packaging. another kind of "hands on" way would be to lay them out in groups and use some glitter spray. Wish I could be more help! If anyone else knows any tips, please share! CC ********** http://www.CraftyChica.com

This site is the archive of all my past projects for Gannett News Service and The Arizona Republic. These ideas are for personal use only. I make a living as a craft designer, so I will be using these ideas in my published works. If you are thinking of selling or using these ideas for profit, please give respect and "twist" them to make them your own - put your own stamp on them to make them different. It will work out for the best for both of us! Thank you and much respect from one creative person to another! — Kathy Have a burning crafty question? Visit my Ask Crafty Chica blog or drop me a line!
