It’s day 7 of 12 Days of Christmas and I am sharing a Christmas Shaker Card made with the Fitting Florets Collection. I hope you have been following along with Brenda and I for all of our holiday project ideas!
The Fitting Florets Collection is a special release, featuring the Framed Florets Bundle coming in the new mini catalog. It also includes the limited edition Framed & Festive stamp set, and Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper. I have been using the Framed & Festive stamp set a lot, and I love it!
Today’s project is a shaker card. Shaker cards are so fun, and perfect for any occasion! The front layer is created with the gorgeous Brushstroke Specialty Paper. This paper comes in 3 colors per pack. It has a beautiful texture. This paper is light weight, and works great for layering or die-cutting.
The Framed Florets die set has both floral and frame elements. One of the frame elements is this awesome heart oval. I used the mini hearts inside the shaker, along with For Everything Fancy Sequins. The floral oval was cut from Fitting Florets Designer Series paper.
To make this shaker card:
cut a 4 1/4″ x 11″ Thick Basic White card base and 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″ layer
layer front with a 3 3/4″ x 5″ piece of Brushstroke Specialty Paper
die-cut an oval from Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper
using Vellum Cardstock, die cut floral elements using Framed Florets dies
3″ x 4″ window sheet
Fold card base in half and burnish well. Die cut the Brushstroke paper with heart oval. Stamp sentiment in center with Versamark ink and heat emboss in white, then adhere to card front. Die cut an oval from designer series paper and adhere to window sheet. Trim window sheet along outer edge of oval. Apply foam strips to back side of window sheet layer, under die cut oval. In center of card front, place some sequins and mini die-cut hearts. Adhere window sheet layer over sequins, adhering to card front. Add vellum elements and a ribbon bow to frame on card front.

Welcome to Day 6 of the 12 Days of Christmas blog share with Brenda Nelson from Stamps and Stretchy Pants. Today I am sharing this adorable candy cane treat made with the Sweet Candy Canes bundle.
My friend Tami Hewlett made these little candy cane hearts, and as soon as I saw them, I knew I had to make some. They are so adorable! And so easy to make as well.
The tag die in the Candy Canes die set is designed to slide onto a candy cane! It is genius, and makes the most adorable treat! What a perfect treat for gifting. You could even hang these on your Christmas tree, and hand out to family and friends throughout the season. So cute!!
Making a Sweet Candy Cane Treat
The die in the Candy Canes die set is the basis for this quick and simple tag. This tag is cut from Garden Green cardstock. I added a strip of Red Glimmer Paper, and a label die cut from Shimmery White cardstock using the Stylish Shapes Dies. Stamp sentiment in Real Red ink. To make holly leaves, watercolor Shimmery White Cardstock using Garden Green ink. After it is dry, die cut leaves using the holly leaf die in the Christmas Banners Die Set. To finish it off, add Seasonal Sequins to create little berries. Once the tag is created, slide it onto a candy cane, then tie 2 candy canes together with Linen Thread.
Thank You

Welcome to the Color Fusers blog hop and 12 Days of Christmas where I am sharing a card using the Framed & Festive stamp set.
Today’s card is not only for the Color Fusers challenge, but also my 5th share for the 12 Days of Christmas blog share with Brenda Nelson.
I had fun working with the neutral color palette for this project, and incorporated lots of cool products to create shimmer and interest!
The Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder is one of my favorites, and I thought this color challenge would be a great time to pull it out. The gray and black paired well together for a neutral base for the music, and Merry Merlot and Black elements added fun pops of color.
Staying with the neutral theme, I brought in silver cord, Basic Rhinestones, and Wink of Stella for shimmer. And I couldn’t resist adding some of these adorable die cut snowflakes into the mix! The snowflakes are from the Celebrations Tag die set. I have used the set on several projects recently. It is so good — and they are on sale! Sadly, they are retiring at the end of the month.
To create this card:
use a 4 1/4″ x 11″ Smoky Slate card base and score at 5 1/2″
cut a 3 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ piece of Smoky Slate and emboss
die cut a Basic Black scallop edge strip using the Scalloped Contours dies
use Basic White to die cut any label
die cut snowflakes from Vellum Cardstock with Celebrations Tag dies
Splatter embossed layer with Merry Merlot ink and Wink of Stella. Adhere scalloped piece to bottom of embossed layer, then adhere to card front. Stamp sentiment in Merry Merlot ink on white label. Adhere a nest of silver cord to back, then add to card front with dimensionals. Add die cut snowflakes as desired, and finish it off with rhinestones. Stamp inside card as desired with Merry Merlot ink.
