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

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

  • Monday, January 18, 2010 at 10:02am

    Hi Megan–

    Ceili and I watched this together and she just loved the video of this adoreable bag! :) She wanted to watch it all over again. She said “Miss Megan did a nice job”. Have fun! I’ll be praying for you to have a safe and fun trip!

  • Monday, January 18, 2010 at 10:05am

    Great video! Looks like another must have prdouct:o) Will the Glitter and Pearl liners fit in the bottle caddy? Looked about the right size…

  • marcia
    Monday, January 18, 2010 at 10:10am

    Very cute project! I love the ideas! It gives me ideas on how to use my cricut in ways I would have never thought of on my own! Have fun in CA!

  • Monday, January 18, 2010 at 10:15am

    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! :)

  • Monday, January 18, 2010 at 10:19am

    Very cool! Oh no, another reason to go to the craft store! Haha! Thanks for sharing!

  • Monday, January 18, 2010 at 10:40am

    Thank you for showing this project! I love that Glitter Gel, actually all of it! Thanks for showing how to cut a stencil and what to do if the material doesn’t stick. I’m gonna have to get that spray!

    Yea!! It worked and it is a exciting product. I can’t wait to learn more or to be able to purchase it. After CHA let us know where we can purchase it. That would be wonderful.

  • Monday, January 18, 2010 at 10:55am

    Thanks for giving me another must have product! Too bad (or maybe good) that I didn’t get this on Friday as I was in Mpls and they have lots of scrapbook stores. Actually went to a glimmer mist demo and workshop there. Now I have to find these two products! Off to search the internet!!

    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!

  • Monday, January 18, 2010 at 11:29am

    Great video–thanks for showing how to use the stencil product

    This looks like so much fun. Can’t wait to get some. So much for the New Year’s resolution to stop buying so much “stuff”.

  • Monday, January 18, 2010 at 1:31pm

    Where do you get the paper to cut stencils on the cricut? What paper was that?

  • Monday, January 18, 2010 at 1:37pm

    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!

  • Kathryn
    Monday, January 18, 2010 at 1:43pm

    What a wonderful little gift bag! I’ve never cut a stencil before, but you made it look so easy that I will try. lol. Love the 3-d glitter. Thanks for introducing us to new products … I think …. lol!!!

    Monday, January 18, 2010 at 3:58pm

    That is super cool! The pearls would probably be a lot cheaper than buying pearls & fiddling to put on project. What a cute little bag! Great idea for my granddaughters for Valentine goodies. I will have to be on the lookout where to get this stuff. TFS
