BBTB2: Cricut - 'Let's Party Glittered Card

Do any of you attend Scrapbook Expo?  I have been to the Pleasanton, CA and Santa Clara, CA events several times.  Are you like me and spend a lot of money and then forget about the products you thought you couldn't live without?  My project for today uses something I got at Expo two years ago and never used.  I even watched lots of videos about the product but still never used it.  The product is double sticky tape that is 1 1/2" wide.   I used it for the first time to make glitter paper for my Cricut cuts.

That story leads me to our Bitten by the Bug2 challenge for the next two weeks.  The challenge is "something new, (product, cut, technique, material, etc.)".   Link up your challenge entry HERE.  I'm glad I created the glitter paper from the double sticky tape as I hate putting glitter paper into the Cricut mat, glitter ends up everywhere and the blade dulls really fast.

I peeled off the paper and put the first sticky side of the tape onto cardstock using only enough for the size of my die cut.  I left the second side of the tape with the backing on.   I cut the image, in this case, the "let's party" and then peeled the cut off the mat.  I put the cut on a new piece of paper, peeled off the top cover.  Then I poured fine glitter over the cut, using my finger to burnish it into the cut.  It doesn't flake off like other glitter paper.  I was really happy with the results, and the brightness of the glitter is really cool.  My finished cut went onto a card for New Years 2020.
