Ornament Shaker

Hello Stamping Friends!


I have an elegant Christmas card to share with you using products from Frantic Stamper!!

The last release was all about CHRISTMAS!!!
So exciting!
I was able to get an awesome start on my Christmas cards!!!

You can see the entire release here!

I used the beautiful Lattice Finial Ornament for this card:

I'm a sucker for beautiful ornaments!  And snowflakes! And snowman! When it comes to holiday products!!!

So I was super excited to receive this ornament die!  (I will have more cards posting using other new ornament dies from FS soon as well!!)

I started by die cutting the ornament from my white cardstock layer.  I then stamped my sentiment, adding acetate to the back opening.  I then added the die cut Lattice Finial Ornament, which I die cut from a piece of silver paper!!

I then added my sequins to the shaker part and adhered it to my card base!!

I debated on adding some pretty rhinestones as well, but thought this card was stunning just the way it was, so I left it alone!

Witches Shoe with D2BA

Hello Stamping Friends!!

I'm on the Dare 2B Artzy Blog today!!

Our team up with Canvas Corp last month was so much fun!! 

I shared a fun idea of altering pattern paper with your stamps!

So for those who may have missed my post on my blog, I am going to share the idea here, but this time with a new card!!

With Halloween around the corner, I thought it would be fun to create a Halloween card!

I started by grabbing my supplies:

I once again decided to use the fun Black and White Chevron paper from CCB!

I used the fun polka dot accent stamp from the Bright Birthday stamp set to add the polka dots on the white chevrons! 

 I stamped them in Bright Pumpkin!!  

Perfect for a Halloween card!!

I then used a sponge to ink the edges of the pattern paper with Totally Black Ink!

I then stamped the larger witch boot from the Good Witch Shoes stamp set!  I am absolutely in LOVE with this image!!  Colored it in with my Copics and then fussy cut it so that I could pop it up on my card!

What a fun image!!!

I stamped the "Happy Halloween" sentiment from the Good Witch Shoes stamp set in Totally Black Ink on a piece of Bright Pumpkin Pattern Paper!!

So fun!!

I love how it turned out!!

Don't be afraid to use your stamps to alter your pattern paper!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a beautiful day!
