My question is after the stickles dries on your craft should it dry flat onto your paper? I went to archivers yesterday for a scrapfunfilled day with a friend and bought a couple colors of stickles to "bedazzle" my christmas characters on my cards. I waited till I got home to stickle and when I did the stickling  last night it was puffy and cute but this morning when I woke up it dried flat and it looks shiny and glittery and still kind of cute but not as cute as it did when it was puffed up. I watched a bunch of you tube vidoes on stickles before purchasing them and they all showed projects that had puffy glittery cuteness. Any help??

Stickles does not dry puffy, it is kind of flat (depending on how much you use).

All the stickles I have applied all dry raised. I do a lot with dots though and don't spread them much. I suppose it depends on how thick you put them on.

I agree that is you use them for dots, they dry raised (but I wouldn't call it puffy). I have used them to decorate paper Xmas trees, thin like garland and they do dry flat..it definitely depends on how much you use.

I use a LOT of stickles. Normally, they "sink" and flatten as they dry. If you like the puffy look, try doing 2 layers, waiting between layers for them to completely dry.

That happens with most of the stickles, but I like to use liquid glass on them after they dry! Hope that helps Amy wrote:My question is after the stickles dries on your craft should it dry flat onto your paper?

If you used Distress Stickles, they do dry flat. In fact, mostly you spread them around for a bit of distressed bling.
Regular Stickles stay raised when dry. But you can spread they with a finger or brush, too.
