Shake, shake, shake...

Who doesn't love a shaker card?  I have always loved them!  But, they are kind of a pain to make!  LOL!

This week, we made shaker cards.  I first made one, but then realized it just didn't work.  So, I had to start all over again!  But, I loved how this one turned out, if I do say so myself ;)

This is the Christmas shaker card I made:

I used the Festive Farmhouse DSP to start.  Then, I used the Coffee Cafe Thinlits to die cut the coffee cup, sleeve, and lid.  On the sleeve, I used the oval thinlit to cut out the window.  I placed a small piece of Window Sheet and glued it in place.  Then, I used the Foam adhesive strips to hold in the little beads.

The sentiment is from the Cookie Cutter Christmas set.  I punched it and some matching Mellow Moss cardstock using the Pretty Label Punch.  I then tied some bows using the Cherry Cobbler Twine and glued them all down.

I think this will be a fun Christmas card to give to a coffee lover!

Holiday Catty CASE

Happy Friday!  Today, we are CASEing something from the SU! Holiday Catalog.  There were so many choices, but I finally settled on the little Santa bags featured on pag 18.

This is what I made using the adorable little Santa's Bags.

I stamped the Candy Canes, "For You",  and Tag items using the Candy Cane Season Stamps and Signs of Santa Stamps. I used the Candy Cane punch as well.  To make the tag, I stamped the Ho!Ho!Ho! all on a piece of Very Vanilla, lining up the Hos!  Then, I just used my Trimmer to cut the tag into a size I thought that would work.  I stamped the items in Garden Green and Poppy Parade.  Although the colors are a little different, I used the Festive Farmhouse Twine to attach the tag to the bag.

Below is the one from the catalog that I CASEd.  Check out the other CASEs here.  Thanks for looking and have a great day!

A Halloween Treat

Who doesn't love the treats at Halloween?  I'm a sucker for Halloween candy!  I tried not to buy candy early this year, but having to wait 15 minutes at Target Pharmacy did me in - LOL! 

This week, we are making Halloween treats!  This is the little treat box I made! 

I was finally able to use my Petite Treat Framelit.  I made the little treat box using Gorgeous Grape and Granny Apple Green cardstock.  I then stamped the sentiment (from the Itty Bitty Greetings set) on Pumpkin Pie cardstock.  I punched it and a piece of Basic Black cardstock using the Duet Banner Punch. 

I made my little mummy using the Cookie Cutter Builder Punch.  I punched out a couple pieces of Whisper White.  I glued them together.  Then, I took some gauze from my medicine kit and started wrapping my mummy.  I added some googly eyes, and my mummy came alive!

I used double sticky red tape to attach my mummy to the treat box and then adhered the banner sentiment over top of the mummy using some glue.

It's a spooky cute treat, right?

Hop on over to the Sisters In Stamping blog to see what other treats were made!

Go ahead and embellish...

...a card, that is!  Don't embellish the truth ;)

This week, Karla asked us to use our favorite embellishment on our project.  This was really hard for me because I LOVE embellishments almost as much as I love designer papers!  OH, and I love, love, love ribbon!  OK, I seriously love embellishments!

But, I am a sucker for anything that can self stick!  This year, SU! has some metallic (gold and silver) pearl embellishments and I really do love them.  I think I used almost all of the silver ones on my card!  LOL!

I first ran a piece of black cardstock through the new Tufted Dynamic embossing folder.  I then adhered it to a Gorgeous Grape base.  I wanted to use my new Darling Label set/punch, so I chose the birthday stamp, inked it up in Gorgeous Grape, stamped it, punched it out, adhered it to the card, and tied a piece of Gorgeous Grape striped mini ribbon around the top.  Then, I got busy placing the silver metallic pearls in the diamond intersections.  It was a little tedious, but I think well worth it. 

Let's see what the other ladies embellished their cards with!  Check it out!
