Technique Tuesday: Chunky Glitter & Sticky Cuts Letters

I've been wanting to make a card for a while now that says 'U ROCK' for Charlotte (Hannah's sister) in Las Vegas. She was kind enough to show us around during our trip there in September and we had a wonderful time.

This was the first time I used the new Chunky Glitter & Sticky Cuts Letters from Stampin' Up!...they go hand-in-hand. The Sticky Cuts Letters come in 12 x 12 sheets, all you do is choose your letter and take it off the sheet. Adhere it to your project (it has a sticky back) and then pull off the clear red plastic to expose the top sticky side (just like sticky strip). Then pour on glitter, beads, or chunky glitter like I used, and tap off the excess. It's heavy duty stuff with no need for a heat tool!

Recipe (all products Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted)
Stamps: Jumbo Outline Alphabet
Ink: Basic Black - craft
Paper: Basic Black, Rose Red, Whisper White cardstock; Rose Red Designer Prints patterned paper
Accessories: Chunky Glitter - black, Sticky Cuts Letters, Clear Embossing Powder, Heat Gun, Black Grosgrain Ribbon, Black Pen: Pilot Hi-Tecpoint Extra Fine

Very cool card Starr!

Question: How did you like the sticky cut letters? I bought them, have used them for a title, well was going too, than it got all messed up - I found because they were so sticky sometimes it's a bit difficult to handle them.
