I had no idea what kind of holidays cards to make this year and got stumped for time if I wanted the ones going abroad to be done on time. Then I remembered the tried and true glitter technique and Bob was my uncle!
I set to work and used my fave font and printed Merry Xmas onto cardstock on my home printer. Then I cut the sheets to a size that fit into the green envelopes I bought i NYC last year.
Supplies needed were also a glue pen (mine's by Martha and has a felt tip) and of course the glitter.
I had printed the words in light grey so they wouldn't be visible in case I didn't hit the dot right on with the glue pen. It was simply a matter of adding a little glue dot on each printed dot...
... and sprinkling glitter all over and shaking off the excess. I kept a paper underneath with a fold in it and after a few cards I poured the glitter from the paper onto the next few cards with a tray underneath to catch the rest.
And here's the finished result. The glitter stays in the dotted areas and even if a little comes off during shipping it will be like having sent fairy dust and I hope my recipients won't mind.

Ps. We had 5 inches of snow over night! It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
