Baroque Motif Ornament Shaker Card

More Christmas cards coming for you.  I wanted to devise a way to use the other frames from the Shaker Frames sets.  I created a Christmas card HERE that uses the biggest frame, then had all the other ones left over.  This one uses the frame that co-ordinates with the 3/4" Circle Punch .....

 And a closer view of the Ornament Shaker embellishment ....

A while ago I saw a card that used the Baroque Motif swirl as a Christmas Tree branch to hang an ornament on.  I don't remember who the originator is, but if you email me I will give you proper credit.  I used the swirl in Always Artichoke to create the branch effect, then created the shaker ornament. 
It's very easy, I just stamped the ornament once on Whisper White cardstock in Cherry Cobbler Classic Ink. Then I punched a 34" circle out of the ornament, then punched the ornament with the Ornament Punch.  I punched a second ornament on plain Whisper White, and one out of Window Sheet material. 
Then adhered all the layers together with some Dazzling Diamonds Glitter in the middle of the shaker part.  These frames make it so darned easy to make Shaker Cards, and they co-ordinate with different sizes of Stampin' Up! punches!
Stamps:  Baroque Motif, Delightful Decorations, Christmas Greetings
Ink:  Always Artichoke, Cherry Cobbler, VersaMark
Cardstock:  Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler
Other:  Shaker Frames, Dazzling Diamonds Glitter, Window Sheet, Cherry Cobbler Embossing Powder (for the sentiment)
Get some Shaker Frames and give the Shaker Card a try, you will become addicted, I promise!

Perfect Plum Stitched Stockings CASEd card

I saw Sandi MacIver post a card on Sept 7th and I decided I would case it.  HERE is a link to Sandi's card.  And here is the card I created ....

I used the Doily Triple Layer Punch to create the right hand edge and the colours are Perfect Plum and Very Vanilla.  I made my leaves out of the Silver Glimmer Paper.  I love how Sandi used the new Vanilla Velvet Ribbon for the top of the stockings.
Stamps:  Stitched Stockings, Christmas Greetings
Ink:  Perfect Plum
Paper:  Perfect Plum Patterned DSP
Cardstock:  Perfect Plum, Very Vanilla
Other:  Doily Triple Layer punch, Stocking Builder Punch, Little Leaves Die, Silver Glimmer Paper, Basic Rhinestones, Mini Jingle Bells, Vanilla Velvet Ribbon, Lots of Tags Label #1
I used the Lots of Tags Label #1 die to cut out the layer for the sentiment.  I took a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock 1-1/4 x 5" and folded it in half.  Then I put it over the die down from one end and cut it out.  It had a bit of a bend in the middle, so I added some shimms to my big shot, put the piece between the two clear cutting mats and ran it through the Big Shot, basically squishing it.  And it "ironed" out the bend.  Too cool!  Then I mounted it on a piece of Perfect Plum cardstock and hand cut it out.
Thanks, Sandi, for the inspiration.
Happy Stampin' ............
