I just added Rock Candy Distress Stickles to my stash of Stickles and it's really neat and looks so much like frost and snow because it's not highly glittery like the regular Stickles. It can be spread all over a project, or put in just a few spots and looks great either way.
I really like the Tim Holtz products and enjoy his videos, so I'm glad to have a source for his products.
I also got the larger jar of Rock Candy Stickles for larger areas, so I can keep the small bottles with the spouts for smaller detailing.
I´ve got tons of stickles and I can´t say that I´m very pleased with the distress series. I think the original is much better. They are messy and the colours are not the same as the ink anyway. But this is an exception. It is SO useful. Yes, it´s as messy as the other distressed ones, but it doesn´t matter since it hasn´t got any colour and you don´t use it in the same way. You can put it on flowers, stickers, fabric... whatever. It´ll get that little spark. Really nice.
Used in this project: Just wanted to say hi- Mimosa 6x6
I love the effect that it gives to vintage things. I like to make chalkware Father Christmases and am going to try it on parts of them this year - I bet that the Rock Candy Stickles would add interesting effects - I probably wouldn't have looked twice at this product had I not seen Tim Holtz's video on its uses. By the way, all of his videos are so good - -
I love to use Stickles in all my cards and layouts – it just gives this an extra bling and pop that makes it look so nice. Works really well for my holiday cards too! Though the Distressed version has a large opening and if you aren’t careful you can get a big blob to come out instead of the fine line. Once you get use to it, you can really work some magic! I think I have just about every shade offered!
I only gave 4 stars because I am not so sure I like Stickles…not that there is anything wrong with them but I am not sure I know what to do with them in a way that pleases me. I took Creative Chemistry 101 with Tim Holtz and he talked up Rock Candy Stickles so I grabbed some. It is a gorgeous product but the I need to play more before I am a super fan.
These glitter glues are good as they have a high ration of glitter to goop in the tube to give one a nice and sparkly coverage.
This is bye far the most versatile color as it adds a good sparkle without being too over the top. Adding just a bit really finishes a project.
It is hard deciding what color to get as they are all nice.
I love this product. It's differant from regular Stickles. It drys with clear chunks which looks like, well, rock candy. I love to use it to edge flowers. Makes the flowers look like they have frost on the edges. Really cool stuff.
I used this on Christmas cards this year and absolutely love it! It sparkles just like snow does when the light catches individual flakes. I'll be getting more once it's back in stock!
I will probably use this more than any other color! Because it is a "distress" glue, it isn't sparkle shiny- it dries to a translucent "crystally" texture. It looks like frost- I can't wait to use it on my winter pages!
Used in this project: Our Merry Christmas 2009
Used to the sparkly colored Stickles, I was surprised that the Rock Candy is a bit different. It still sparkles but is subdued and looks wonderful on wintery/snowy projects.
