Silver & Gold...

Hello & Happy Thursday Everyone!

Today's my day to take over the blog at:

SumMore Fun Stamps!!!

 I thought I would share a lovely Christmas card -

As most of you know... next to Fall, Christmas is my other FAVORITE

time of the year - I love how they both just flow into each other -

Makes me Very HAPPY!!! So today I thought I would try to

inspire you to get started making those holiday cards!

Look... mine are all done for this year - YES I'm a nut case...

BUT, when you think about ALL the other things you're trying to do

during the holidays, wouldn't it be nice to have your handmade

cards off that list? Early? even better! Just sayin' (Wink Wink)

This card was fairly easy to make - I started off with a 

piece of White Cardstock (Neenah Solar White)

and I stamped my Ornament image front and center with

Brilliance Starlite Silver ink, then poured some

Ultra Fine Silver Embossing on top of it, then heat set it

I then took a pair of my Tim Holtz scissors and cut the center

out of my ornament - Since I had plans on turning this into

a shaker I wanted my sentiment on my card front

before I did anything else - So I did the same process

as the ornament - once that was done -

I grabbed a Wonky Stitch die and die cut my white

card front for that finished look - 

Now I can complete my shaker - I found some pretty Christmas

paper in my stash that had silver & gold to it (Perfect)

and I grabbed a piece of Acetate and now I'm ready to

get the shaker part together - I adhered the acetate to the backside

of the white card front - then added Stampin' Up Dimensional

Stripes around the circle - Added an assortment of Silver

& Gold Sequins then added the Designer paper to seal it off

Flipped it over and started to shake, shake, shake! (Always so fun)

I then added some Fun Foam to the backside of my shaker

for an even look and dimension - Then I folded a White card base

in half (A2 Size) - 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 Top Folding

Then I found a lovely piece of foil silver on white designer Paper

and thought that would look nice behind my shaker

so I cut it down to fit the front of my White Card base

and attached it with some adhesive 

Then I grabbed the shaker that was on the fun foam

and attached it to my silver/white card base

Of course, it needed some final touches, so I adhered

some of the silver & gold sequins to the front of my card

and then made a double bow using some

Silver & Gold Elastic Cording I had -

And now another Holiday card ready to go in the mail!!!
