Hello crafters!

Who else has started their Easter crafting?! We have lots of cute bunny Die Cuts from the Creative Expressions Craft Dies by Sue Wilson Kinetics Collection Easter Basket Die.

Easter is a great opportunity to try out all your Cosmic Shimmer stash in a different way, take a look at how you can use the Cosmic Shimmer Glitter Kiss, Gilding Polish and Pixie Powders to create these cute Easter eggs, ideal to brighten up your Easter egg hunt. Take a look at some inspiration below.


Use Cosmic Shimmer Pixie Powders and the shaving foam technique to create this marbled effect. Watch the technique video here: Pixie Powder and Shaving Foam Video 


Mask off patterns and colour in using Cosmic Shimmer Glitter Kiss.


Why not use Cosmic Shimmer Metallic Gilding Polish and create these simple yet chic easter eggs, use a Sakura Gelly Roll Glaze Pen in white or black to add extra detail.



We just love these simple Zentangled style eggs, just paint the egg with Cosmic Shimmer Acrylic Paint and use a Sakura Pigma Micron Pen and get doodling.

Happy crafting!

Give your project the kiss of Glitter

Hello crafters,

We are pleased to bring you a brand new product from Cosmic Shimmer, Glitter Kiss. This product is a water based glitter product in a glue like substance. i know what you're thinking, its Gilding Polish but glitter, you could say on the outside it looks like this, as it is homed in the same packaging with it own sponge applicator, however it is very different. Here are a few ways you can use this amazing new product. Trust me, once you try it, you will want to kiss all your projects with glitter.

  1. Highlight Embossed card with instant Glitter
One of the most favorite looks to use your new Cosmic shimmer Glitter Kiss, run your card with an embossing folder then using long strokes, with the sponge, cover with glitter.




    2. Use with Stencils and Masks 

Another way to use your Mini Stencils or Masks, create glittery backgrounds and designs. 



   3. Stamp happy 

We are so excited about this one, completely unintentional, Glitter Kiss can actually stamp very intricate stamp designs. 




Take a look at our first Facebook LIVE video we filmed with John Lockwood to explain how to create all these looks.
