Friday Mashup #35 - Fun In The Snow

Hello there,
Today's post is for The Friday Mashup Challenge this week to create a Shaker card and or with a Winter Scene. I have gone with both and used some different elements in my card that I have not used before.  I made my own shaker from scratch using a large piece of dimensional foam.  I cut the circle out with my Classic Circles Nestabilities and my Big Shot.  I also used White Glossy cardstock that I embossed using Embossing folders.  I saw a video by Kay Kalthoff and decided to give it a try, it creates a shiny embossed surface and I am very happy with the results.

This card Rocked the Challenge this week at The Friday Mashup.

Just Add Ink #95 Bah Humbug - Season's Greetings

Hi there,
Today's post is for the Just Add Ink Challenge this week to create a Christmas project with NO Christmas Images and NO Christmas Paper, but you can use a Christmas Sentiment.  I decided to try colouring the new Silver Glimmer Paper after seeing a video by Mary Fish and Jill Olsen.  It was very easy to do and now I can have any colour I need for a project in the future.  I used black card to make the presents pop and it also appears to tone down the glimmer a little.  I did find you need to use Glue Dots to stick glimmer card on glimmer.



This card was featured on Paper Punch Addiction on 28th November, 2011.

Supplies:

Stamps:  S/U's Many Merry Messages

Card:  Basic Black, Whisper White, Silver Glimmer

Ink: Old Olive, Melon Mambo, Bashful Blue, Versamark
