Christmas Cards Celebration in July - Spellbinders

 Let's celebrate Christmas in July!  I love getting Christmas crafty in the summer because I miss the festivities of the season.  I just don't miss the snow.  

Spellbinders is celebrating with some fabulous winter dies to Celebrate the Season.  It's time to Celebrate the Season (with Spellbinders newest collection) The cards featured today use the dies shown below:

Secrets to perfect Stamping

The secret to perfect stamping starts with a stamping platform.  My favorite is 

My Sweet Petunia Mini Misti - Most Incredible Stamp Tool Invented.  Why do you need a stamping platform?  Because you can keep stamping an image until it's absolutely perfect.  I often need to stamp an image a few times to get complete coverage.  The MISTI helps provide perfection. 

I used Archival ink because it doesn't bleed when I use water color pencils to color the images.   

Finishing Touches on the Card

Finishing touches help complete the card and give it that custom look.  It's all about the details - they do make a difference. I have tiny gem toppers on my flowers from Buttons Galore and More - Merry Mimosa DooDads.    

This is a beautiful, vibrant combination of iridescent confetti and iridescent flat backed crystals.  

Here are some other cards I made using Spellbinders Celebrate the Season collection.

Instructions

Making shaker cards is quite easy when using tulle netting.  The netting is super inexpensive and I prefer to use white tulle.  

I cut a frame using Spellbinders Fluted Classics Rectangles Etched Dies from the Fluted Classics Collection by Becca Feeken because this particular frame has a very wide edge - which is great for hiding double sided tape.  

I taped the tulle to the frame to create the shaker window.  

Next step

Once the tulle is securely in place, add foam tape around all sides  - leaving no spaces for shaker material to fall out. 

Final Steps

Add the shaker mix and close the front shaker window.  Yep it's that easy!

The Shaker Mix

 The shaker mix is from Buttons Galore and More - Merry Mimosa DooDads.    

This is a beautiful, vibrant combination of iridescent confetti and iridescent flat backed crystals.
