Oh Happy Day Shaker Card

Life is good. My family is good. Things are going well. What a happy day!

I like shaker cards. All the fun, sparkly things that jiggle and shine inside a happy, little card! I might have used too many sequins inside this card, but...they are so fun! Shake, shake, shake! I used one of the dies from the Project Life Cards and Labels Framelits to give myself a great big window for all those sequins. And the background paper from Serene Scenery Designer Series Paper Stack was just the right touch for conveying that happy feeling!

All supplies used are from Stampin' Up!:

Stamp set: Scenic Sayings

Ink: Archival Basic Black

Card stock: Old Olive, Delightful Dijon

Accessories: Window Sheets, Gold Sequin Trim, Foam Adhesive Strips, Big Shot, Project Life Cards & Labels Framelits, Serene Scenery Designer Series Paper Stack

I hope that all of you are having a wonderful day today, also! Thanks for stopping by and saying hi!

See you later,

Scenic Sayings Thank You Card

For the last several weeks I have been working on a job for some friends. Their son is getting married and my friends asked if I could help them make some wedding favors. Hundreds of little flowers and even more hundreds of tags/labels later...and I am all finished. But...I didn't take any pictures to share!  Maybe I could make something using the same kind of little flowers and then I could share that with everyone.

Today I have a thank you card that I made a little while back, and I told you that I would share it with you at another time. And today is that other time! So here it is:

All supplies used are from Stampin' Up!:

Stamp Sets: Scenic Sayings, Flower Patch

Inks: Bermuda Bay, Pool Party, Cucumber Crush, Daffodil Delight, Archival Basic Black

Cardstock: Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White

Accessories: Simply Scored Scoring Tool, Paper Snips, Rhinestone Basic Jewels, Dimensionals, Pool Party Stampin' Write Marker

Remember when I told I did a class where we did a One Sheet Wonder? (Did I tell you about that?) Well this is one of the cards that I made with some of that patterned paper that I had stamped and created. I love the color combination! I also stamped two of the greeting, then fussy-cut the banner that was in the middle and popped it up on some Dimensionals foam dots. It still felt like it needed something, so I added the rhinestone basic jewels and then scored a frame around the edges of the card base using my Simply Scored scoring board.

One other thing. I just want to take a moment to thank those of you who visit my little blog here. It means a lot to me. If it weren't for you, I don't think I would even have a blog. I enjoy sharing my cards, and I hope you enjoy looking at them. So...thank you so, so much!

Thanks for stopping by,

Scenic Sayings Flower Patch Friendship Card

Recently, I held a Stampin' Up! workshop where we made our own patterned paper and created four different cards. I had some leftover card kits afterward, and so I decided to create some new cards with them. 

I wanted to teach my class about "Random Stamping." This is where you take 3 or 4 stamps, varying in size from a large stamp to a medium and a small stamp. I used the "Flower Patch" stamp set, using one of the largest, solid flowers. I was able to layer another large-ish stamp on top of this one, giving it a wonderful bit of depth. Then I had a medium flower, a leaf sprig, and a small daisy-like stamp to fill in the holes.

In a recent Paper Pumpkin kit (March 2016, "Pocketful of Cheer"), the paper had a wonderful color combination, and I was inspired to use a similar color combination, but adding a pop of Daffodil Delight. I also made it a Z-Fold card. I love the large piece of patterned paper on the front. It adds a wonderful bit of color and detail! The greeting is from the new stamp set "Scenic Sayings." But rather than just rambling on, why don't I just show you my card.

All Supplies are from Stampin' Up! unless otherwise stated:

Stamp Sets: Flower Patch, Scenic Sayings

Ink: Bermuda Bay, Pool Party, Cucumber Crush, Daffodil Delight

Card Stock: Bermuda Bay, Pool Party, Cucumber Crush, Whisper White

Accessories: Brights Candy Dots (retired), Dimensionals

I made more cards with this paper, but I will save them to show you another time. I hope you like this one!

Thanks for stopping by to see my card. I appreciate your visit!
