The latest craze in the paper crafting and stamping world are shaker cards!  I love them BUT I’m not that great at making them.  They are so cute, that I’m determined to keep practicing until I can make them in my sleep!  Well maybe not my sleep but at least make them without losing my mind. 🙂

I made this card using Jar of Cheer (have I already told you it’s my favorite? )!  This one is came out pretty good!  Yay!

I used lots of different goodies to pull this card together.  I’ll list the supplies below.  When I get better at these cards I will definitely put together a video tutorial and maybe we will try one in my upcoming classes!  🙂

Supplies used:

Stamp sets used:  Jar of cheer, Lovely as a Tree, sentiment is from Star of Light.  Embellishments used:  Candy Cane lane Ribbon, Candy Cane Baker’s Twine, Mini Jingle, Dazzling Diamond glitter  Bells  Card stock used:  Whisper White card stock and Candy Cane Lane DSP  Ink used:  Old Olive 

I heard the other day there are only 14 more Fridays till Christmas!!  What?!  How is that possible!  I need to get busy making cards and making my Christmas List.  🙂  I’ve made a lot of Christmas cards this week.  Yay!  There are so many possibilities with the Jar of Cheer stamp set!  I’ll be sharing those cards with you over the next few days!  This one was inspired by middle child.  He came up with the basic layout and I added the details!  Hope you enjoy it!

  Here are the supplies used:

Whisper White card stock base, Candy Cane Lane DSP,  more Whisper White Card stock,  Real Red ink, Stampin’ Up markers in Real Red, Old Olive, Pear Pizzaz, Daffodil Yellow, Tangerine, Soft Sky.  Also used Wink of Stella on some of the white parts.  

I’ve been able to get my craft area setup enough that I can actually make some cards.  It’s still a mess but I can find the basics!  🙂

I made this card using Star of Light stamp set and the Starlight Thinlits.  You can create a pretty dramatic card using this set without a lot of work.  🙂

I used Night of Navy paper and ink to go with the silver and white.  I embossed the flourish of stars with silver embossing powder.  I cutout the background star out of vellum and used two glue dots to adhere it.  The used silver foil paper to cut out the top star.  Added a rhinestone to the middle to give it some bling!  🙂
