OH HAPPY DAY! Adoption Congratulations

Pin It Now! For the first time in a good, long while, a color challenge hasn't been a stress to me!  Here's a card I made for a friend's recent adoption finalization. They are a super sweet family and I am SO happy for them!

The colors from our latest challenge over at Hand Stamped Sentiments. Super juicy and summery, right?

I created a large shaker window and used Fringe Scissors to make this great confetti!  I was able to snip up little squares of all the challenge colors, plus Silver Glimmer Paper!  The little one is 2-1/2, and he's going to love it.  He'll probably rip it up to get to the confetti, but that's okay :D
Here's an inside look at the making of the shaker.  I cut several Shaker Frames into quarters and ran them around the outer edge of my shaker area.  Then, make the confetti by criss crossing  the fringe scissors to make squares. Placed a square of Window Sheet over it (acutally I attached it to the opening of the Lost Lagoon layer for the card front with Sticky Strip).  Added a double layer of Dimensionals, since the Shaker Frames are 2 Dimensionals high. 
Inside, I made him a little name tag.  (His first name was left off til after the photos were taken)
And there you go!  Won't you stop by Hand Stamped Sentiments and play along this week?  I'd love to see how you use these fabulous colors!

Merry Monday Challenge 113 - Deck the Halls

Pin It Now! Here's a sweet, non-traditional color combo for Christmas from Merry Monday Challenge. Pink, silver, and white.  I made a shaker frame with silver stars, sequins, and rhinestones, topped with a full triple bow.
To make the shaker frame, I used the Ornament Framelits to cut 2 white ornaments.
Punched the center of the top ornament with 1-1/4" circle.  
Ran it thru the Big Shot with the new 2014 Lovely Lace embossing folder. 
There are rhinestones adhered randomly to the inside of the shaker so it always seems to be in motion, and then some InColor sequins, and some silver bits from my vintage stash of craft supplies. 
Closed it all up in a shaker frame circle, and heat embossed the images on the card front.  
Scattered some more silver sequins about.  
And there you have it :D
Almost halfway to Christmas!

Halloween Shaker Card HSS171

Pin It Now!
A haunting Hello to you!  Today I'm mixing a little old and new to create this Halloween shaker card for Hand Stamped Sentiments' latest sketch challenge.  
Check out this fabulous, simple sketch. Oh, the possibilities!

Shakers are so fun to do.  With Stampin' Up! Shaker Frames and a little layering, they go together quickly and easily. This one is filled with German glass glitter.  The DSP is Nite Owl, which is retired as a paper product, but still available as a Digital Download for use with My Digital Software or any other digital software program.  So it's never out of style!  And you can resize the paper to use any part of it.  
A little batty punch, and Woodgrain embossing, and a  knot of smooth Basic Grey satin ribbon, and several small punches and the simple sketch gets fun details.  
Head over to HSS and get some inspiration from the designers and the ladies that are playing along! 

SUPPLIES:
STAMPS:  Itty Bitty Wishes
INK:  Basic Black
PAPER:  Basic Grey, Smoky Slate, Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black, Nite Owl Dowloadable DSP
EMBELLISHMENTS:  Basic Grey 5/8" Satin ribbon, Linen Thread
