Snowflake Shaker card

 It's Friday again!  Whoop!  Luckily I was able to work in some crafty time last night, so I whipped up this sweet snowflake shaker card using the new Unity Stamp Co sentiment kit, "Like a Snowflake".  (Oh my goodness, I love this kit!  It's on sale right now.  Go get one!)  I stamped the white card all over with different sized snowflakes with Memento London Fog ink, utilizing the generation stamping technique of multiple stamps with just one inking. 

The gorgeous clear, charcoal and red sequins are from Pretty Pink Posh and the Black chevron twill ribbon and white "snowball" ribbon is from May Arts Ribbon.  Everything is held together with my Tombow Xtreme adhesive runner.  If you look closely, you'll see that I did some paper piercing using my Stamper's Secret Weapon.  You can't tell from the photo, but I used Wink of Stella clear glitter ink over every single snowflake.  It's so pretty in person!  I'll be entering this card into the Unity Friends with Flair challenge today as well as their monthly Be Inspired Challenge. 

Have a great weekend!

Additional supplies: Fiskars square page punch, Martha Stewart Christmas designer paper, Ranger black archival ink, Sticky Doo's pop squares

Birthday Present card - EASY!

Today I have a simple card which has the elements of a wrapped gift and can be for a girl or boy.  I've used the Fiskars everywhere punch window system scalloped tool.  I love that you can punch anywhere on your page.   I started with a blue card and then cut a piece of designer paper to layer.


Next I centered my ds paper over the Fiskars tool and punched the scalloped image, creating a ''window''.  Before adhering the paper, I centered it and stamped my birthday wish in white ink.  Then I used pop dots to raise the paper and give it that 3-D look.  Finally, add some ribbon and you are done.  I used the Hero Arts ''With love from'' stamp for the back of the card and signed my name.My Pinterest - click here
