Hi All! So, today I have a very Twinkley card and mini tutorial to share. I recently received some of Taylor's Tiny Twinkles and instantly fell in love. I love these little rhinestones because they add the perfect touch to every card. I decided to create a mini tutorial on how I like to adhere them to my cards. I am sure there are many different ways to apply them but this way seems to work perfectly for me.
For this card I used the St. Patrick's Day image from the Year of Sweets 1 set. I started by stamping and coloring in my image on Choice Snow White card stock. Then, I pulled out my tweezers and Tumbow adhesive. I squeezed a drop of glue on some scratch paper and then using my tweezers grabbed a twinkle tot and dipped it in the glue. 
I tried to add just a touch of glue since that is all you need. If, the twinkle doesn't come right of the tweezer just use your fingernail to slide it off. 
I really find these rhinestones easy to use and perfect for adding a WOW factor to your card. Well, I hope you found this mini tutorial helpful. I can't wait to start seeing everyone's cards and projects using Taylor's Tiny Twinkles.Until next time,

What a sweet and FUN card. Love the cute image. And your coloring/shading is super amazing. What a brilliant idea of the twinkles pot of gold. Thanks for the tutorial. I must get some of that tumbow adhesive glue 'cuz the glue dots can be sometimes be a pain to work with. :) TFS

Love your card and thanks for the tutorial. Nice way to add the little blings to a card.
Thanks for the tutorial! I had not heard about these little pieces of bling. And the adhesive is probably great for adding dew drops as well.
These little jewels are new to me but they sure added that perfect amount of sparkle to your card. Thank you for the tutorial!
Thanks for the tutorial....and your card is very cute! Now I need a pair of tweezers and some tiny twinkles.
I have this stamp as well, and will be casing yours! Thanks for the tutorial!
Love it !! the pot of gold is very cute the way you did it !!x
I have never tried the TOMBOW Metal glue. Thanks for the tips on the Taylor Tiny Twinkles. It makes perfect sense now. I can't believe I never thought to dip rhinestones in glue with my tweezers instead of squirting glue on my card and having extra glue. Love the cards too. I also love Taylor's stamps.
