Viva Decor 3D Glitter Gel – DIY Tote/Gift Bag

18 January
Monday, 18 January 2010 03:07 Written by Megan Elizabeth 79 Comments

Hey Everyone,

Wednesday is a big day for me!  I leave SOOO Super Early in the AM – I am sure I won’t even sleep!!!

I have a few videos coming your way on these fantastic products – but I thought I would share the Viva Decor 3D Glitter Gel with you all -

This gel is SOOO fun!!!!!!  You’ve never seen glitter quite like this before – it’s really cool stuff and it works AWESOME with the Cricut Cuttables Stencil material or you can use just regular ol’ vinyl too!!! :)

In this videos I show you:

  • How to cut Cricut Stencils and Stencil Material
  • The Viva Decor 3D Glitter Gel
  • Viva Decor Pearl Pens (a TOTAL must! LOL)
  • Making something that is easily recycled and fun tote bag

    Viva Decor Products in Scrapcessories Bottle Caddy –
    The Pens fit inside the bottle tray of the caddy – but they are VERY tall and thick – SO – the lid doesn’t close – BUT
    Don’t Worry-
    I’ve already talked to Daphne – and she maybe working on that solution for me!! I LOVE HER! :)

    Hi Megan! I am a new follower and I must say I am hooked! Thanks for yet another great tip – I just bought some stickles (my first time!)and can’t wait to play with them. However after seeing what those glitter pens can do I may have to try them too especially since you said they dry much faster (I’m very impatient!). Thanks a please tell us all about your experience at the CHA! God bless!

    Megan I LOVE LOVE this project!!!!! I’m gonna have to pencil in the stencil material settings on your cutting guide. I really like how the pearl pen actually LOOKED like little pearl embellishments and how easy the glitter gel stuff in the jar was to just scrape right on! Definitely gonna have to check out some of the Viva Decor products!
