Glitter Christmas Cards

I am making my own Christmas cards and I have stamped Christmas ball ornaments but i want them to glitter what is out there i can use? Now mind you I have already stamped on the card and it looks great but I want them to stick out a little bit..like glitter.

You can buy sheets of double sided tape. Cut out the shape of your ball and lay it over the image on your card. Remove the backing and shake glitter over the tape. Voila! All done.

You can also use this technique and use multiple colors of glitter by not removing the entire backing. Just score it with an exacto knife where you want "white" and put white on there. Remove the remainder of the backing and put "red" there... etc.

Hope this is what you are looking for.

I love playing with glitter and bought some cheap Christmas cards and have tried using glitter glue as embellishment. The cards came out terrible. I tried squirting the glue straight out of the tube and it came out too thick and the constant squeezing hurt my hand. I tried spreading it on thin using a clean make up applicator. That looked even worse and the card dried wrinkled like wet paper. Regular elmers glue and dry glitter goes on too thick for what I want. Old Christmas cards from around the 70's, or earlier, used to have a light, thin, coating of silver glitter that looked beautiful. The glitter was very fine, and you could see the card detail under it. How can I get the same effect? I would love to hear any advice on this. Thank you so much.

I like spray adhesive but it is very hard to control on paper and card stock because you have to block off where you don't want the glitter and the air that comes out blows away paper blockers. I found the UHU glue is light enough as to not warp the paper and will still hold the glitter as well as the fact that you can get the one that has a broad applicator on one end and a fine pen like one on the other. Another tip is to spray your work with work fixative so that the glitter stays put and the fine glitter won't transfer to hands or anything else when handling.

Personally I like to spend a little more money and send a classy cute card then a cheap looking one.
Of course I look for sales.
I do this cause I like receiving them.
I also like to put glitter in my cards, ( just a little)

I use an online service. I absolutely love it. They mail all the cards for me after I design them. I can even put my own signature and picture in it. It's so fun and speeds up the process. It use to take me 5 hours to do my Christmas cards and now I can do them in 1 hour. I send a lot of cards.
