These new Christmas designs from the Singles Range at Creative Expressions include seven different stamps. as you will see from the samples made from the Blog Hop, they do not have to be used as they are but can be altered and interchanged to give lots of different options.
One randomly selected person commenting on this blog post before the closing date will win the following fabulous prize, which includes some of the new stamp designs.
For my project, I used the Believe stamp and here's my project with step by step instructions.......
Apply Cosmic Shimmer Flake and Glitter Glue to the stamp and stamp it onto Foundations Black Cardstock.
Using Cosmic Shimmer Polished Silk Glitters, apply the following colours one at a time: Silver Chrome, Golden Sand and Sahara Gold.
Sprinkle them randomly (I find that a very small spoon works best).
For the background...........
Apply Flake and Glitter Glue to the small Christmas Tree from the Christmas Tree set of 4 trees. Stamp it 5 times across the bottom of a piece of Black Card.
Sprinkle the same glitters as before over the trees.
Glue the "Believe" panel into position.
And there's the finished card....a great one for a man who we know are so difficult to make for! I hope you like it!

Hello Pam,
What a lovely way to use gorgeous stamps. This is beautiful.
Very beautiful card, dramatic and would certainly stand out on the mantlepiece.
A lovely Christmas card.
looks awesome on black. such a simple concept but oh so effective. love it xx
Hi Pam,
I'm not a black person until it comes to what a first glance looked like gilding flakes, but you have used glitters?. This is when black card comes into it's own and really brings stamps to life. Your card is beautiful and the colours of glitter used has just made it magical. Thank you for doing the step by step for us,
Crafty hugs
