Shaker Cards with Acetate and Foam!

Happy Tuesday everyone!  This is the last of my three part shaker card series!  This time I use fun foam and acetate to create the shaker window.  This is a very quick and simple way to create a shaker card!  I hope you enjoy... and boy do I love this little giraffe from Wplus9!

I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but quill you forgive me?

This card was inspired by two challenges!  The first challenge was the CASology Pop inspiration.  The second was the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Dot Challenge.

The background was created with using gelato colors and whipped spackle.  The little porcupine from Penny Black was originally holding flowers, but to keep with the POP theme, I used a balloon!  What could go wrong with a porcupine and a balloon!

The balloon is from Wplus9 and covered with glossy accents.  I wish I had added some glitter to the balloon, but alas... best laid plans!

Happy Summer Everyone!

Life is good!!!  Here is another rendition of my favorite flip flop card!  This will be an upcoming technique tuesday video!  This card was designed based on two card challenges this week.  The first challenge is the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge 'Summer'.  The second challenge is the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge 'Dots'.

The background was created using whipped spackle and a polka dot stencil.  I added glitter to the whipped spackle as it was drying.  The flip flops epitomize summer in my book, so I used some nautical paper and created these little flip flops.  The sand is 60 grit sandpaper coated with mod podge. 

Happy Summer Everyone!

Penny Black 'Feline' Die Cut

UPDATE!  This was a card winner for the
4 Crafty Chicks No Stamping challenge.

I fell in love with this die from Penny Black the minute I saw it!  I had remaining colored whipped spackle left over, so I just broke out another stencil and created this background.  I just love these little kitties and can't wait to start playing with them more!


This card was submitted to the 4 Crafty Chicks No Stamping challenge.

Hope you all had a great weekend!

WeRMemory Keepers Fuse and Shaker Cards

Hi Everyone!  I had expected this video to show two variations of shaker cards, but time definitely got away from me!

This shaker card is created by using the WeRMemory Keepers Fuse.  Perhaps you've heard of it?  LOL.  It is the HSN special all day tomorrow!

I hope you enjoy the video and stay tuned till next week for the THIRD shaker card!  For those of you that missed the first shaker card (where I used the premade windows), please click here!

Card and Envelope Sizes!

Ever wonder what size card goes in what size envelope!  Here is the answer!

In preparation for an upcoming craft show, I found a plethera of unused envelopes in my studio and needed to start using them up!  This little gem is going to help guide the creation process!

If you print this out, the sizes are 'accurate' and you can place a card over them to see if they'd fit in your envelope!

Mirror Mirror - 30 Day Coloring Challenge

Mirror Mirror... this card was made for one of the 30 Day Coloring Challenge held by Kathy Racoosin at the Daily Marker.  

I saw something similar on Pinterest and had to give it a whirl! It also happened to match up with the weekly card challenge in my favorite Facebook group 'Chatty Scrappers!'
