Birthday Shaker Card

Hi, back to share my DT project for June over at the

Crafting Circle, Crafty Awesomeness challenge.

This month we were challenged to make a shaker card using

some dies from Gina Marie.   Although I don't make then very often I

do like making shaker cards.

For my card, I stamped the cupcake image from Inky Antics, then

colored it using my Copic markers.  The sentiment is from the same

stamp set.  I used my scalloped edge oval die from GinaMarie and

then using another oval die I cut the center out so I would have

a die cut frame. I cut several layers from chipboard with the

oval whole cut from the center to build up for my shaker card.  

I added various sequin for my "shaker" parts.

I also used a GinaMarie die for the pink bow. 

So come on head on over and join in the challenge at

the Crafting Circle, I believe there will be a prize.

Marshmallow Snowman

Hi, well here we are at November 1st already.  Everyone have them

Christmas cards done?  Nope, not me, I am still trying to figure out 

my design for the ones I mass produce.  It is looking up though cause I thinkI finally have it nearly figured out.

Well, this card will make it into my random Christmas card stack.

I created this card for the November Crafty Awesomeness Challenge over

at the Crafting Circle.  This month out sponsor is

Bugaboo stamps.  Thanks, Jodie we love your stamps. 

I chose to use Marshmallow Snowman for my image.  I had just received my

Hero Arts October kit of the month and it had a cut snow-globe in it

si I wanted to use that with this adorable little snowman. 

I colored him using my Copic markers. I then cut about 3 panels with the circle our of the center from very heavy white chipboard.  I glued the acetate under the piece of pattern paper to make my snow-globe window.  I used a little bit of the 

Flower Soft snow that came in the kit, but mostly what I used for my "snow" was silica gel that I have been saving from medication bottle, shoes, etc etc...

It made GREAT snow for this shaker card. 

Plus I had seen someone had used alcohol inks to dye it so

it can be used for all kinds of shakers cards and other things. 

The globe stand I used the die and cut it from a piece of wood grain paper, then

stamped it with a stamp that was also in the kit.  

The "winter wonderland" I stamped on and oval and mounted it

with foam tape.

So, I hope you like my card and head on over and join in the fun over at

the Crafty Awesomeness challenge.
