Oooo - love glitter! Ya gotta get ultrafine glitter - I like SU Dazzling Diamonds or Art Glitter. Then dump some in a small plastic tub (like a Rubbermaid container that is big enough for a card). Store your glitter in there and use a small spoon to sprinkle it on your card (use 2-way glue pen on the card first). Then all you have to do is dump it back into the "glitter box". I use it all the time and don't usually make much of a mess.
