There are many beautiful layering dies out there, including many gorgeous florals from Altenew. I wanted to use my layering die-set in a slightly different way from the normal and stepped my Antique Rose up a notched. Today I’m using the new Altenew Antique Rose C-A-F layering die and combining it with some glitter to add sparkle to your layering die-cuts. This technique can be used with any layering die set in your stash and I’m showing you my quick and easy method. So why not join in and craft along with my video tutorial!

Add sparkle to your layering die-cuts: how to add the glitter with little fuss!
To add the sparkle quickly and also with full coverage of the die-cut, you’ll need to add double-sided adhesive sheets to your cardstock. Make sure when you die-cut the Altenew Antique Rose C-A-F layering die, the adhesive is on the front of the die-cut. The only layer on this rose I have not added sparkle is layer 3.
After you have die-cut the layers with your adhesive sheets on, remove the adhesive backing and cover the adhesive with glitter. For layer 1, I covered this in WOW! Sparkles Graphite. Layer 2 was covered with WOW! Sparkles Brilliant Silver and lastly, layer 4 was covered in WOW! Sparkles Crystal.
Next, use liquid adhesive to layer up the layers – I prefer liquid adhesive with a rough surface such as glitter as you know it will stick!
Add sparkle to your layering die-cuts: assembling the card
For the leaves, die-cut the various layers and ink blend colour over the top using Altenew Limeade and Altenew Frayed Leaf mini ink cubes.
The rose, along with the leaves, was added to a background panel that had been embossed with the Altenew Diamond Stars 3D embossing folder. To finish the card off, a sentiment from the Altenew Fresh Cut Rose stamp set was heat embossed in white onto black card.
The sentiment was foam mounted onto the card, and then the panel was embellished with a few Glossy Porcelain pearls from Lucy’s Cards.

The greys look incredible!!! They are so dramatic and classic…
This past month has been the start of my obsession with floral cards… and you are definitely feeding my obsession! ? ? For that I thank you. ??
This card is the picture of elegance!
I’m not a big glitter fan so I love your rose with the silver glitter just peeking out! So cool, thanks!
Glitter turned that rose into a beautiful creation!
Wow! Your card is absolutely gorgeous! I love how elegant the glittery layers look! I’m definitely giving this a try!

Wow! Have been looking at the samples for the new CAF and yours shows the most ooomph! Gorgeous is an understatement. The intricacy of the layering dies really captures the essence of a rose. Another winner from Altenew.
The new CAF die set is beautiful! This is probably the most realistic flower in this series! And the inspiration card looks amazing! I really love the soft colors and the touch of sparkle.
Really enjoyed the video of you making your gorgeous card. Love the silver, graphite, and white glitter that you added to the layers of the rose. Really does add a wonderful touch. The card would make a lovely anniversary or wedding card for a special couple.
Thank you Linda ?
Really gorgeous! I never would have thought of a gray toned rose. And I love it! Sensational!!! Looks fabulous with the textured background. Thank you.

very pretty and great tip for ease of adding glitter! Thanks for the ideas!
Really love the grey tones of the flower, AND the sparkle
Talk about “Wow” factor. That is a showstopping rose. I was a bit worried when I saw all the tiny bits to the last layer but they were easy to place. This is a fantastic die set.
Wow! This is a fun way to add some sparkle to a card! So pretty.
Love the addition of the glitter. Beautiful card!
This is STUNNING!! I love the layers of sparkle and the shading of the “white” flower with the paper. Beautiful design!!
Lovely card!
So pretty! I love the glittery petals and the size of this flower! And your background is perfect!
I love glitter and your card hits the spot! So different from the others and beautiful. Thanks for the inspiration.
I LOVE the sparkle! What a gorgeous rose card!
I sure will be adding sparkle to my die cuts now. Great use of glitter.
That sparkles! I don’t do much with glitter, but that looks awesome!
I am loving these blog hops – you get so many fabulous ideas to try. I never would have thought of using glitter or glitter paper on the flowers and the result is amazing. Thank you!
Great card with the glitter and the process to keep glitter in place. The video is so helpful. Very nice card and helpful inspiration.

Ooooohhh, the sparkle on the flowers! Brilliant!
I love the layers of glitter….this is a beautiful card. Thanks for showing!
I love everything about this card. The background is gorgeous and cant get any better than glitter petals!
Love these layered dies. And of course, the rose is THE flower of flowers! Your colors are beautiful.
Great card idea!
I love everything about this card – Thank you!
Thank you for the tip. I love to add glitter to cards.
Genius! What a quick, easy and less messy way to deal with glitter cards! I would have never thought of the adhesive back sheets with the glitter! So gorgeous!
I love greys and your brilliant idea of adding glitter is one I my borrow soon. So clever! Well done!
Gorgeous card. Love the sparkle.
This is absolutely beautiful!
Oh my goodness that is stunning. I might try that with glitter cardstock. Worried the glitter might fall off . . .
The Sparkle on this card adds a great dimension, great video!
Love the color combination of the flower and the sparkle.
Your color palette for this card is brilliant. Thanks for sharing your technique for creating glitter paper. The sparkling rose is lovely. Would these dies cut through regular glitter paper or is it necessary to cut card stock then add glitter?
No, they will cut through regular cardstock ok. I had a layer of double sided adhesive on each side of the card so was reasonable thick and it cut through ?
Lovely cards.
Beautiful card! I think it would be pretty as a sympathy card too. Love this new release!
Stunning!! L!
I am not a glitter girl but I absolutely love this rose and the card you made with it. Such a beautiful wedding card! My nephew is getting married next month. I may have to make a glitter rose for his card. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks for the video. I am new to card making and this was an informative blog post. Love the glitter on the rose.
