Frosty Gingerbread Shaker Card - Studio Katia

Hello Studio Katia fans!  Today I’m sharing a shaker card I made using the Sweet Holiday stamp and die set.  I couldn’t wait to play with this set, I just love everything gingerbread at this time of year!  It’s tradition in my family to roll and cut out gingerbread and decorate cookies on Christmas eve.  We also exchange gifts with family on that night, so I can see some gift tags being made with this set in my very near future!

I started by Copic coloring all the images from Sweet Holiday and then using the matching dies to cut them out.  I cut my panel from this ombre patterned paper in an A2 size and heat embossed the sentiment in white.  The sentiment is from the Origami Winter stamp set. I created my shaker frame using the Stitched Creative Window Die. I added my filler using the Winter Wonderland Fusion Sequin mix

Once carefully filled with the amount of sequins I desired, I placed my shaker window down and glued my images on top! Thank you so much for visiting with me today.  I hope you’ve enjoyed my project and will make a shaker card or two this holiday season!

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge 429

Hi everyone!  Today I'm a "Guest Sweetie" over at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Blog! Our challenge this week is a color challenge, using Orange, Green and Brown! (see photo below)  Perfect for any remaining Halloween or Fall cards on your to-do list!

For my project, I used this super sweet Halloween stamp set, Newton's Perfect Pumpkin. I fussy cut the images and Copic colored them.  I created a background panel and inked it with Dried Marigold Distress Ink and did a little water splatter on it.  I stamped my sentiment and spider/web with Versafine Onyx Black ink.  I glued my images and a few sequins on the panel.  All of it was mounted on some green cardstock and some patterned pumpkin paper from the 6x6 Boo-Ville pack by Doodlebug!

Thanks for stopping, make sure to enter your own project over at the challenge and you could win a prize!  This week is sponsored by Newton's Nook Designs!!

Newton's Nook Shades of Autumn

Hi everyone!  I'm up on the blog today over at Newton's Nook Designs with this fall card I made using one of my FAVORITE fall sets, Shades of Autumn.  I love all the leaves that come in this set and that sweet little acorn.  The sketchy way they're drawn gives the images such beautiful shading.  I like to use my StampinUp inks on these leaves and ink each images in 2-3 different colors. To me, they almost look real!

I layered my leaves on top of some dark tan cardstock and beautiful fall plaid paper.  I tied a bit of twine and added some green pearls by Doodlebug to finish it all off!

Thanks so much for joining me today, I hope you've enjoyed my project and found some inspiration here!!!  Have a great weekend!
