Wonderland Flat Shaker

I've been away for a week, sorry I haven't shared any ideas with you.  We just moved to a new house after living at the previous house for over ten years.  Do you know how much stuff a family of 5 can collect in that amount of time??  A LOT!!  We are exhausted but glad to be settling into our new home.  Things are still chaotic, but I am SO READY to get back to stamping and sharing!!

Here's a fun card I made before all the moving started, it's with my favorite set WONDERLAND.

I just love these flat shakers!  It's hard to see in the picture, but there are trees stamped behind the vellum.  I wanted a winter woods effect with the sequins acting like snowflakes.  I even threw in a few of the snowflakes from last year's holiday catalog because they were a perfect fit.

Since the trees in the background are harder to see, I added a couple tree tops to the vellum.  I love that they match perfectly with the washi tape......Mossy Meadow is such a lovely color for pine trees!

I added a couple of sequins to the front of the card as well.  They matched nicely with the silver embossed sentiment.  I don't think I can get enough of silver embossing and sequins this holiday season!

    Beautiful card Nicole!

    Moving is never easy, especially when you've lived there a long time and have kids. We've lived in our house for 25 years. It scares me to think about moving, but we will before my husband retires in a few years.

    Nicole: How did you stamp on the vellum with Mossy Meadow and not have it smear?

    Thank you Cindee! It was a tough move, but now that it's done we can get organized and get back to regular life! I have so missed stamping and the internet...life is so different without it. What did we ever do before all this technology...lol!

    Cheryl, I just carefully stamped it and let it sit for awhile to dry, nothing special! The specialty vellum seemed to take the ink well, no smearing problems. Just be sure to leave it alone for a little.

    did you attach the vellum to the card base under the washi tape?

    Yes, I did. I used tear tape all around the edges of the vellum. The washi tape that I add afterwards will cover the adhesive that shows through. If you only use washi, it won't hold. The washi tape can peel up too easily and your sequins will come out. Hope that helps and you give this style of shaker card a try!

    thanks, I do want to try it but didn't want to rely on the washi tape to hold it together

    Yep, I tried it once and my shaker fell apart. Also make sure you burnish the washi tape when you apply it, keeps it from wanting to peel up.

Let's get ready for Halloween!

I don't know about you, but I love little treats and decorations for Halloween.  I am already planning out some party ideas that I thought would be fun to share! I've been busy as you can see!  It all started with the thought of doing a banner and I just kept going and going! Each piece of the banner has different stamps and die cuts from the Howl-o-ween Treat bundle and was way more fun to create than I anticipated!  The panels are each 4" x 6" with the banner end hand cut.  I am actually working on a tutorial to release next week with the instructions for the banner and the treats so you can make your own!  UPDATE: YOU CAN FIND THE TUTORIAL HERE! Now let's check out all the treats.  I wanted a variety so there would be something for everyone's taste. I am well known for my chocolate chip cookies, so a cookie envelope was the first idea to come to mind.  They are 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" and are just the right size for a cookie!  The envelope punch board mad...

Woo Hoo!! Today is Day 6 of Preview Week and it's my turn to give away BLOG CANDY!!  I am super excited to be on the Design Team for the Spring Collection 2015 from Create with Connie and Mary. The new Occasions Catalog and Sale-a-bration Catalog are chock full of great products and we are here to give you great ideas for using them!!  Let me show you my card then I'll tell you more! I'm sure that anyone that follows my blog knows how much I love shaker cards and confetti, so I had to do one for today with a critter!!  The Cheerful Critters set is just so cute I knew it would be great as a shaker. The inspiration came from the December Paper Pumpkin kit that I have made a bunch of cards with.  It was super easy to recreate using the On Film framelits and the Best Year Ever Designer Series Paper.  The bear from Cheerful Critters was stamped and colored with blendabilities then fussy cut and glued to the front of the shaker.  A bunch of stars from the Confe...
