Merry Christmas Card

Hello Again Crafty Friends!!
Hope everyone is having a HOLLY JOLLY Christmas!!Are you in need of some last minute holiday mojo?? Well, I have a little Christmas inspiration for ya!!


I made this card using FB Stamps' Let it Snow stamps set!!

I love how elegant the Merry Christmas sentiment is in this set!! I love it so much I made it the focal point for my card!!

I stamped this image with an VersaFine Onyx Black ink and colored in the image with my Zig Kuretake Clean Color Real Brush Markers.


Then die cut the image with an oval die and layered it onto ornate oval die to frame it.

Adhered my card layers together using my Xyron Mega Runner.

The scroll borders were aso die cuts. I cut out 2 pieces then I attached them together using a glue pen. Then, I attached the joined piece onto the card with clear liquid adhesive.

I added Petaloo flowers & holly leaves. I also added berries I purchased from Dollar Tree. I used a thick clear adhesive to attach the bigger embellishments to the card. You could also use hot glue for this.

Here is a close-up of my finished card...

Hope you all enjoyed today's holiday inspiration!!

Happy Crafting, Friends!!

Merry Christmas FBStamps...


Trying to get back into doing some crafting. It's been awhile as I'm now back to caring for a new grand baby! She's a honey but I deff don't get as much play time in. 

FBStamps latest release has some super cute stamp sets! And this stamp is one of my favorites!!!


I chose some patterned paper from my stash and did simple white heat embossing of the sentiment. It is so pretty and so ornate! Fleurette did an amazing job drawing this one out! Very pretty as is, but you could certainly do it on regular cardstock and do some coloring. Even watercolor would be nice.

I used some rectangle dies for the sentiment and the card base is from Sizzix. I used foam adhesive to mount the sentiment panel. The gray colored paper is actually glitter paper and so very pretty! Could not get the sparkle. :(


It's a bit hard to see, but I added some crystal clear sequins. They kind of pick up the color they are adhered to. This paper is several years old and it's still available. It's probably one of my all time favorites. I prefer non traditional colors for Christmas and this is on the rustic side. So pretty!





This image in no way does it justice! You really need to see it in real life. 

Ok, that's it. I'll provide links for products used. Check it out!
Get out what crafting supplies you have and make some pretties!

Midnight Moon Sky, Shaker Card ~ Clear Stamps

Hi Cheryl here on the blog today, playing around with the new release from FBstamps. Some super cute images in this release and you'll deff want to check them out!

Here's a shaker card I made using the new moon image.


I had wanted to try the night sky background for a long time now. Just never did it. Well, I did for this one, and I must say, it was fun and quite easy. Can't really go wrong. Next time I'll not be as afraid of adding black. This could have gone a bit darker. But I'm happy with my first attempt. 
I splattered white paint over all to create a starry sky.

I die cut the window opening and attached acetate on the back side and used foam tape to add the dimension needed. 

I chose a mixture of sequins and seed beads for the shaker bits and then attached the back panel on top. I stamped my sentiment and added a few sequins for some sparkle. 

Here's my shopping list.


Happy Crafting!

Let It Snow Shaker Card ~ Using Clear Stamps

        Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow - Cards


Bet that song is stuck in your head now... hehe!
Ilda here today, sharing a  fun winter card I made using one of Fleurette Bloom's latest Stamp Set Let It Snow.

For this first card, the stamping was super simple. I used VersaMark ink to randomly stamp the background of my shaker card and heat embossed it using some fine white embossing powder. Then used scribbled some Zig Clean Color inks on clear acetate and smooshed it on the the watercolor paper. Once it was all dry I created this beautiful shaker card with it!
