PTAZSCTC Outline Shimmer Markers, 12-Color Glitter Pens with Chisel Tips
Product description
For decorating a greeting card or adding lettering to a craft project, PTAZSCTC Outline Shimmer Markers offer a glittering, two-line effect that changes with the surface. The set includes 12 assorted colors and is intended for coloring, drawing, and DIY projects.
On light paper, the ink is described as producing a metallic silver line alongside a colored line. On dark paper, it appears silver, on smooth surfaces, the stated effect is colored ink without the outline. The maker says the outline works best on thicker, light-colored paper.
That makes paper choice part of the result, rather than a minor detail. Want a predictable colored outline on every surface? Buyer feedback is mixed on whether the colored line appears as expected.
Tips for day-to-day use
Before writing, remove the cap and press the tip to release air, then recap and shake the marker to mix the ink. Press the tip against the paper briefly until ink reaches it, and replace the cap after use to help keep the ink from evaporating. The listed nib size is 2–3 mm, so these are better suited to visible lettering and filled-in details than very fine writing.
The product is also listed for use on materials such as canvas, wood, glass, plastic, fabric, metal, and ceramics. Since the described effect depends on the background, the same pen may look different across a paper card and a smooth surface. The listing says the markers are not suitable for people under 13.

Why it’s worth it
Compared with a conventional marker that lays down one color, this set is aimed at projects where a metallic-and-color effect adds visual contrast. It may suit handmade cards, photo albums, gift tags, or decorative lettering, with the background influencing whether the result looks outlined, silver, or colored. The set is also described as usable for crafts on several different surfaces, though the listed effects are not identical across them.
Buyer impressions are divided. Some describe the colors and finished artwork as attractive, while others say the colored outline does not show as expected. Feedback on quality and usefulness is also mixed, and some buyers report that the markers do not last long. Those concerns matter if you need consistent output across a large project, the product details do not specify ink capacity or expected lifespan. It makes sense if you want a varied set for occasional creative projects and are comfortable with the effect changing by surface. Better avoided if consistent colored outlines or dependable long-term use are priorities.
Questions before you buy
How does the ink look on different backgrounds? The stated effect is silver plus color on light or white paper, silver on dark paper, and colored ink on smooth surfaces.
What preparation do the markers need? Shake them after capping, then press the tip against the paper until the ink flows. Keep the cap on after use.
Are they intended for younger children? The product information says they are not suitable for people under 13.
Should you buy it?
Choose this set for craft work where changing, glittery effects are more important than uniform lines across every surface. The 12 colors and chisel tips offer variety for lettering and decoration, while the mixed reports about color accuracy, usability, and longevity make it a less reassuring choice for projects that depend on consistent results or extended use.
