Shaker Card--sad story

I hosted a shaker card swap and nobody played with me :(.

I made the shaker element with the Fit-It software and my oval Colluzzle. Musical instruments inside were from I Brake for Stamps. I used beads and some music confetti for the shaker stuff.

Decided to use it for a birthday card instead.

Christmas Sweets

Using more of the faux silk I made with tissue paper from the gift exchange at work (who cares about the presents, I got TONS of tissue paper!!!), I made this card for the Christmas Sweets mingle.

The ribbon down the side looks brown here to me, but it's really red velvet with gold trim. It was left over from my door decoration at work. The images are from Stampin Up, stamped on die cuts that were cut from cs that was done with the Antiqued Glimmers technique from Technique Junkies.

Castles ATC

I made a castle ATC for a mingle using some tissue paper from a gift exchange at work. Made some faux silk backgrounds. The castle is from SU's Snow Globe set. The ribbons were from the gift exchange at work too. The crown charms came from Sky Blue Pink.

New Year's Card

For this one, I distressed some mini-calendar pages and layered them with glitter and some Spellbinders dies and used my one New Year's Stamp. Mounted on silver glossy.

Pointsettia Swap

This was a simple one. I cut the frame with a Sizzix Die and stamped it with a pointsettia stamp in white. The main image is SU's pointsettia set, done with Crayon Resist from Technique Junkies.

Red and Teal Swap

I had to do a swap using red and teal as the colors. I wasn't sure about that color combo, but it does look nice together.

I used a sketch challenge from Stamper's Corner for the layout. The flower is from SU's Embrace Life set. Background on the white is the Victorian Lace bg stamp from SU. Corners are cut with a ticket corner punch.

New Year ATC

It's been a while since I posted cards to my blog. This one was for an ATC New Year's swap. I only have one New Year stamp, so I did a Glitter Puzzle mounted on gold glossy. As you can see, the glitter got everywhere, but it looked great IRL.
