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!!!

Winter Bird....

Hello and Happy Wednesday Crafty Friends!

I haven't shared a Holiday card in a while so

I thought I would post one today -

This was a super quick 5-minute card (LOVE THOSE)

The Designer Paper did ALL the work for me - 

The Designer Paper was a Large scrap in my Stash and

while looking at it, I realized I could make this a quick easy

Christmas Card - So I took out my Favorite

Stitched Rectangle Dies from (MCT) and cut out the section

I wanted for my card front -

Then I stamped my sentiment from (Scrappy Moms) No longer in Business

After that was complete, I backed my card front with a

piece of Fun Foam for Dimension and adhered it to

my Blue Card Base - 

I added some Bling to dress up my card and I used

my Sakura Clear Glaze Gel pen on the Birds Wing, Beak & Eye.

Super Easy to complete!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a FABULOUS DAY!!

I colored my little Robots with my Stampin' Blend Markers

background - Then I added a few drops of water and

grabbed a paper towel to dab it up.

The Gear embossing folder is from Provo Craft called Clockworks

The "Friends" Die is from Simon Says Stamp cut out 2x's

and I added some inking to the lower half of the word

The Stitched Window Frame die is also from

Simon Says Stamp - It has a Happy Birthday sentiment

that's inside the frame, but I cut it out so I could use the

window for my cute Kitty & Dog Robot friends!

Musical Birthday Wishes....

Hello & Happy Thursday Everyone!

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

SumMore Fun Stamps!!!

 I thought I would share a Birthday card -

I'm also entering the Challenge over at -
Seize the Birthday - RAINBOW

I went ALL Rainbow on you guys! LOL

I'm using my Distress Oxides inks - Candied Apple, Squeezed Lemonade,

Lucky Clover, Mermaid Lagoon, Blueprint Sketch, & Wilted Violet

I started out by blending all my colors together on a piece of white cardstock 

then letting it dry completely

Once it was dry I stamped the Music Background with some

versamark ink and poured some Ultra Fine White

Embossing powder over it and heat set it - 

Then I die cut it out with a Stitched Postage Frame Die - 

I die cut a Stitched Frame Die with some White Cardstock

Then I grabbed a piece of Vellum and stamped the

Happy Birthday Sentiment right onto it with

some black onyx versafine ink and poured some ultra

black embossing powder over it and heat set it -

I thought the Black Embossing on the vellum would stand out 

a little better over my rainbow background - 

I attached the vellum with some liquid glue behind the

Happy Birthday Sentiment (So it wouldn't show through) then

I wanted a sweet bow, so I grabbed some Berry Trendy Twine

and tied it on the lower portion of my Postage frame 

 I adhered it to my white piece then attached it to my black cardbase.

For a little extra bling I used some Rainbow Jewels from Lucy's Cards. 

Victorine Original Stamps

Music Background (74738-T)

Happy Birthday (2871-H)
