Question Chunky Glitter from SU

I just purchased the chunky glitter in the basic colors (red, silver, clear and black) but I am at a loss as to how to use them on a card. Does anyone have any samples that I could view? Thanks for any help.

My upline uses chipboard. Coat the chipboard really thick w/ the Towbow green top glue, spread around w/ your fingers...then press the chipboard down in the glitter...you have to press really hard w/ a lot of glue to get good glitter coverage...meaning no space showing.

I've used it with SU crystal effects for flower centers. Just let it dry overnight. I put the crystal effects on the flower then put the flower in the small ziploc that I have the glitter in. Give it a good easy shake, and it's covered!

I didn't like it at frist because of all the white cardstock the peeped through at me. Then a friend's daughter (hi Emily!) used it and it was beautiful. She said to put the same color under it so you don't get the "show through". She made three narrow strips along the side of a black card and put the black chunky glitter on top. It was so elegant! She did something similar with red, I think it was. So now I have ordered it all and can't wait for it to get here! It really does look best on top of paper that is the same color.

I really like the chunky glitter--I think it's a lot easier to work with then the fine glitter. I use it with the Tombow glue for little areas. It also works really well with the Sticky Cut Letters. Here are a few of the examples in my gallery:

Thanks, I am anxious to use it. Would you mind sharing more of the card details using the black glitter? Did she use the sticky strip tape? What stamp did she use to complete the card? Again, thanks so much, I am just at a loss at to what to do with the glitter.
