Christmas Collage Shaker Card

Another Shaker Card for you today.  I used the Christmas Collage Background stamp in Crumb Cake for the background ......

I used 3 different ornament stamps to create the Shaker Ornaments on this card.  The top one uses the 1" frame, the middle one uses the 1/2" frame and the bottom one uses the 3/4" frame.  This time I filled them with Mica Flakes.  Oh these are so pretty and change colour depending on the direction the light is hitting them.  And they come in a really BIG container too, so you get lots to work with.
I spritzed the background layer with Champagne Mist Shimmer Spritz but you can't see it in these pictures, and I used the Colour Spritzer to spritz some Early Espresso and Riding Hood Red Classic Ink onto the background as well.  Then I used daubers to add some colour around the edge of the background in Crumb Cake and Riding Hood Red

Bells and Boughs Sparkley Christmas Card

I was inspired for this card by the one in the Stampin' Up! 2011-12 Idea Book and Catalogue on page 43.  I sure changed it a lot, but loved how they stamped the image on the top note die piece.  Here is my version ...

I used a lot of bling on this card.  Here are a couple of pictures where I hope you can see the bling.

I sure like how Cherry Cobbler, Always Artichoke and Very Vanilla go together. Truly classic Christmas colours!  I sponged Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint around the outside of the Always Artichoke layer, then after I stamped the holly images in Cherry Cobbler on the Cherry Cobbler layer, I spritzed it with Champagne Mist Shimmer Spritz.

Chocolate Treat Pouch Number Two

I only had time to make 2 of these Lindt Chocolate Treat Pouches.  If they don't sell (fingers crossed!) I guess we will have to eat them, LOL.

I used the same pattern as the first treat pouch, but the background is Bells and Boughs set in VersaMark.  I made another Poinsettia from French Foliage, spritzed it with Champagne Mist Shimmer Spritz, and added a few Basic Pearls to the center.
Tomorrow I will begin my Lip Balm Holder series.  The very last of my Craft Fair items, I promise.  Then I will have some crafting time to make cards.  I can't wait!  Happy Stampin'  Glenda Mollet
