A Sweet Little Card for the Love of My Life... David!!!

I made this card for my sweet hubby using Bombshell stamps. I love the little angel sentiment because that is just what he is! I made this a shaker card and embossed the front panel. I added the soft and pretty ribbon roses and then the sentiment using a rub on from SU. This is totally crazy... but, I NEVER make cards for anyone... I buy them... Nuts...I know. So Hopefully he will know exactly HOW wonderful he is to me when I give him a card that I MADE...Thanks for popping in!

ARTful Inkables Think Ink 25...Shaker Card with SEW YOU!

This week your challenge is brought to you by DT Member, Marti Wills, and she wants you to: Make your own background paper or use a special background technique. Well, I did both! Inside the shaker, I wove some paper strips together. Then, for the front of the card, I used my cuttlebug folder and embossed and sponged it for another background look.

CUUUUUUTE KITTY!!!

I LOVE this darling little Kitty from DRS... and I thought

she would make the perfect shaker card and I was right!(lol). I stamped the kitty and colored her with copic markers,gel pens,and glitter pens.Then I put the shaker card together. I thought the confetti was really cute too. You cant really see it here... but there are butterflies and smiley faces! I thought that was pretty cheerful! This sentiment is soon to be retired... so get it while you can... but I thought it was perfect ... for me anyway!!! Please make sure to check out DRS DESIGNS for a complete list of retiring stamps and get them while you still can! Good news on this darling kitty... she is new and she will be here for a while! Thanks for stopping in!

Easy DRS Birthday Shaker Card

I made this Birthday Shaker card from a paper CD holder. I bought a box of these at the office supply store ... they were fairly inexpensive and the best part is getting friends to go in together to share the cost! This is what the CD holder looks like before the fun begins!
I cut a piece of white card stock 4.75 x 4.75 and I stamped the image and colored it in with copic markers and glitter pens and I sponged the background with some orange to give it some texture. In the four outermost corners of the white card stock with the stamped image (L451). I put 4 pop dots to lift the paper up so that my confetti will move freely inside the CD holder. Then, I added the stamped cardstock, the confetti and then I sealed it shut!

I Stamped the front of the CD holder with a part of

stamp K662 to make the bubbles. I used different colored inks to make it look festive and then I added the star buttons. I don't like to see my buttons "naked" or without string... but what to do when you don't have matching string? I took a super skinny piece of paper and used it instead of thread to match the orange card stock background! So easy to do and the color will always match!

For the base of the card... I cut a piece of orange cardstock 5.25 x 10.5 and folded it in half to mount the sealed CD holder to.I cut 2 pieces of card stock for the inside of the card. The blue is 4.75 x 4.75 and the white is 4.5 x 4.5. I inked the edges of both card stock pieces and then I stamped the sentiment(G483) in orange to match... then next... the balloons (E491).And... that is my card! This is a really easy way to make a shaker because the window is already made for you! I hope you will give this technique a try... I know that you will enjoy the result and so will the person who receives the card!

Anya Elf Snowglobe Shaker Card

So we all know that I CANNOT resist a challenge (or a dare for that matter )and over at Pink Poison there was a great one! Use the Anya and Ian stamps to do the 12 days of Christmas. Well not only did I get them ALL done...I finished on day 8! It was a Christmas MIRACLE! This was also for the Challenge over at Mothers and Daughters Creations to make a Christmas card that was shaped...and since my 4 year old is OBSESSED with snowglobes, this is my creation.

I colored Elf Anya with copic markers and did the background with clouds and even some grass... but the "snow" is covering it. Then I cut out 2 ovals, for the front and back and an oval window in the front. I attached acetate, used double sided sticky foam tape to raise the front from the back, added the "snow" and that was it! I used the largest Labels 1 Nesties and folded it in half for the base. A few dots here and there and some glittery snowflakes and here she is!

Girls, check out these awesome website and their delish stamps and papers. I promise you... you WILL make your Christmas lists even longer!

DRS Snow Family Shaker Card!

I LOVE glitter and sparkly thing! I LOVE cards that do stuff... So this combo was PERFECT!!! I stamped the snow family design from DRS Designs and used my copics to color it in. I sponged the clouds on in the background. I used snowflake stickers in the background and then I also added glitter and bling on the snow family with my glitter pens...(another personal fave!)

Next, I cut the circle opening, stamped snowflakes from DRS in the background and added the acetate so all of my delicious goodies will stay in there to make the snow family happy!

I have a snowflake punch that I am SURE you will all be sick of seeing by the time winter is over. I punched out a few snowflakes and added yet MORE glitter on them and added them to the card as well. I LOVE HOW THIS CAME OUT!!! I will admit... I LOVE snowmen and I stamp them EVERY chance I get. Be sure to check out DRS Designs assortment of WONDERFUL snowmen! You will love the versatility of the designs and what you can do with them! Hope you all have a glittery day!
