Glittered Greeting Cards How-To
1. Start with stamp rubber-side up. Ink the stamp by lightly tapping with ink pad. Once the stamp is completely covered, lift it straight up. Hold stamp an inch from your mouth and "huff" on it to remoisten the ink.
2. Using a ruled cutting mat as a guide, find the center of your card. Stamp the image onto card. Let ink dry.
3. Highlight details with a fine-tip glue pen. Sprinkle glitter. Let dry.
4. Sign name in ink color that matches stamps. Brush off excess glitter with a soft paintbrush.

It's amazing how easy that was but she didn't explain why she blew on the stamp after putting ink on it.
Tried to load this several times but it won't play. Rats!
Looks lovely but the video won't play.
Yeah, same for me. Although you can click on the close button at the top right hand corner of the video player and read the written instructions but it'd be much better if the video could play as it should. It's always easier to figure things out from video.
All I get are ads the card directions will not play.
