Morphology

glittery + sticker

The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'glittery' (shining, sparkly) with 'sticker' (an adhesive decorative label); a B1 learner who knows both words can infer it refers to a sticker with a shiny/sparkling surface. This adjective+noun composition follows a basic, cross-linguistically common modification pattern, so the phrase is immediately comprehensible without prior exposure.

Etymology

The compound glittery sticker names a small sticker covered with shiny bits; glittery means it sparkles like tiny stars and sticker is something that sticks to things. People use them to 'decorate' items or to 'reward' good work, so the name tells you it is a small, shiny decoration.
