These Heartfelt Creations stamps are so beautiful and I'm so proud to be showing you how I've used them for the Creative Expressions Design Team this week. I'll be making crafty projects for November using these baubles stamps and the Creative Expressions "Let it Snow" stamp set too. I'm looking forward to seeing what we all come up with from these wonderful Christmas stamps.
I wanted to show how they look with different colours, and I really like how they've turned out. You can't see the sparkles so well on these pics but they shimmer lots and they look very Chrismassy.

Each card has a coloured centre bauble with the same colour inked around the edge of the card.
I've heat embossed each bauble with a gold and a silver bauble on each card, and then dotted them with the Stickles glitter.
Here's a close up of the gorgeous Cosmic Shimmer Persian Sea Aurora embossing powder, it has mica powders in it, so it has a beautiful metallic shimmer. The gold and the silver are also Cosmic Shimmer's embossing powders.
I've also used some silver acrylic paint which I've stamped onto the cards to add some subtle silvery highlights.
The bauble strings are made with gold cord fed through the eyelets of the baubles.
The inside of each card has the 3 smaller baubles and a Merry Christmas greeting stamped in the same colour as the ink on the front.
I'm well and truly into the Christmas spirit, drinking mulled wine and waiting for Christmas 24 to start on the movie channels! (Christmas films shown 24/7 and starts on the 1st of November).
Is this wrong?

Fabulous sparkly bauble cards - what a great showcase for these stamps! Love that the inside looks as good as the outside... 24/7 Christmas movies? A little bit full-on maybe, but if it makes you feel good, then nothing should stop you!!
