Happy Tuesday! It seems like I am doing a WHOLE lot of shopping these days. Companies are releasing their Fall & Christmas collections for 2016 and there are so many delightful collections. I wanted to share the stamp and die sets that I recently purchased for my Christmas cards and my December Daily album!
Here is a short video. At the end I compare last year’s Toboggan Together set and this year’s Cheery Christmas and Snow Cool sets. There are some similar stamps in the sets and I compared them before I bought them. In the end, the idea of combining them to create unique creations was what won we over. That, and the fact that I couldn’t resist the string of lights in one and the snow penguin in the other! Lawn Fawn knows what it is doing!
Happy Monday! I have a fun, interactive shaker card to share with you today as well as an accompanying video sharing how I created it from start to finish.
My card feature some products from Whimsy Stamps’ October 20158 release.
The focal image is Penguins Carrying Tree and is a rubber stamp from the October release. How sweet is this image? I love the sense of movement and so making a shaker card was a fun way to showcase these sweet penguins. I colored the tree up using fine strokes with my Copic Markers. In the video I will show you how to do this to create the look of pine needles.
To create a nice scene, I used the Stitched Border dies to create some snow banks and the new clear, polymer set Snowflake wishes to emboss snowflakes onto some blue cardstock. I later went in with a fine-tipped, white Sharpie Poster Paint pen to create some falling snow. I used a sentiment from the same set and stamped it in Hero Arts Soft Pool ink.
I added two colors of sequins and then for a little extra flurry of snow, some fine glitter. I ran my embossing buddy over both the acetate and the scene so that the fine glitter wouldn’t stick permanently to them. A little tap and the glitter falls to the bottom :)
Here is the video sharing how I created my shaker card.
