This is my vintage olde world Christmas card created using Spellbinders Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month Membership.  The die set comes with sleigh, poinsettia flowers and greens.   Below is an image from Spellbinders of the die finished as a standalone pop up card/decor piece. 

This die set is also amazing because it was created with total versatility in mind.  It is a pop up design to be used as a standalone card/decoration or can be used flat.

While red poinsettias are traditional, pink ones are my favorite.  That's the direction I went. 

The vintage Santa is from Maja Design's Holiday in the Alps collection.  

After the flowers were in place, I finished off the piece by adding some glittery elements to the card; 3D Snowflake buttons from Buttons Galore and Prima's - Unicorn Effect Paste.  

The Unicorn Paste dries clear leaving a frosty shimmer to the project.  

 Here are a few other pieces I crafted using some of Spellbinders other clubs for November:

Slimline Camera Card for Autumn - Spellbinders APG and Small Die of the Month

 

Celebrate the Colors of Autumn and Smile - Amazing Paper Grace Dies for Slimline Cards

Spellbinders Amazing Paper Grace ( APG) Die of the Month (October) makes me smile...for real.  The clever design is a camera and can be used to create a dimensional folding card or an embellishment for a card.  I can't think of a better time than Autumn to feature a die shaped as a camera.  There is so much beauty in the colors of the season and a perfect time to smile, say cheese, and snap a photo.   

The slimline card I am featuring today uses both the Spellbinders Small Die of the Month (layering leaves die) and the APG die this month:

Spellbinders Small Die of the Month Membership

I love making slimline cards lately because they are different.  The camera die is the perfect width for a slimline.  

The card is embellished with Buttons Galore's Autumn Sparkling Sentiments.  These are brand new small wooden glittered sentiments for cards. tags, ATC's...well actually any project. They add a fun bedazzling feature to your crafty projects.  

They are 1/2in wide and approx. 1 1/2in long.  

Haul out the Raffia

Whenever I make something with an autumn theme, I am so inclined to haul out the raffia.  I can't help myself.  I tried to resist, but the raffia won out and it magically wrapped itself around the camera lens.  The leaves from  Spellbinders Small Die for October 2020  and a button from Buttons Galore's Button Basics - Fall Festival  collection finish off the raffia bow.  

Here are a few more close ups of the camera.  

As always, the Spellbinders dies for the month are exclusively available at Spellbinders through the monthly subscription.  

Thanks and Happy crafting.

Enjoy the Little Things - Fruity Margarita Shaker Card

Celebrate the Little Things - Shaker Card 

Today is all about celebrating the little things - those little achievements that typically get overlooked. Somedays (actually most days) it's all we have. 

  Summer is a great time to enjoy a fruity celebration.  Whether you prefer a glass of sparkling water,  fruit juice or something with a bit more kick, I've got you covered.  Glam things up a bit by serving your preferred beverage in a special glass - something a bit fancy.  We are celebrating after all. 

I am presenting a fun margarita shaker glass from Creative Embellishments filled with the cutest shaker mix from Buttons Galore and More.   

The Shaker Mix

What makes a shaker card come to "life"?  The shaker mix of course.  I'm using some new mixes from Buttons Galore:  Sprinkletz - Fruit Cocktail  and   Polar Wind Doo Dadz.  The new Doo Dadz collection is unique and adds a touch of sparkle to my glass.

Buttons Galore Sprinkletz - Fruit Cocktail Nk122

Buttons Galore Doo Dadz - Polar Wind Dd102

I separated the two shaker mixes by using the Polar Wind Doo Dadz on the bottom section of the glass.

The adorable fruity Sprinkletz make me smile.  Those orange slices - so fun. 

  

Repurposed Paper and Sentiment - From Baby to Cocktails

We recently had our first grandchild, a little girl,  and I wanted adorable paper for special baby cards. 

I purchased Doodlebug's - Bundle of Joy Collection  because the colors and patterns are joyful and make me smile.  

Repurposing supplies is a cool way to stretch your supplies and budget.  This is a great example of using paper collections for other than the intended purpose.  While the collection theme is the celebration of a baby girl, most of the patterns in this sweet Doodlebug collection lack any reference to babies.  Setting the baby theme aside, the colors actually remind me of a fun fruit salad - or how about a fun fruity summer drink?  Yep - that too. 

And that's how baby paper became my summer cocktail paper. Makes sense, right?  

Circling back to the baby theme again.  The shower theme was baby animals and it so happened FSJ Fun Stampers Journey/ Spellbinders has a darling Baby Farm Animals Stamp Set.  How lucky am I! 

 

Today's economy favors those products that are versatile and can be repurposed.  

In the process of finding the perfect sentiment for my fun cocktail shaker card, I pulled this stamp set out again and used my all-time fav sentiment stamping ink,  Black Licorice True Color Fusion 

from Spellbinders/ Fun Stampers Journey.  

Do not overlook the sentiments on your stamp sets.  

This card features some other Spellbinders products as well. 

The decorative oval die is from Spellbinders Elegant Twist Collection by Becca Feeken. I love oval dies because they are so versatile and such a card making staple.  This die has added pizzaz.  

Once again, I'll tell you how much I love  Spellbinders Black Licorice True Color Fusion Ink Pad

for stamping sentiments and images.  My favorite ink for clarity and small details and doesn't bleed.

I have a few other products I need to mention because they have added such convenience to my shaker making crafty life.  These are products I love when using Creative Embellishments - Shaker Sets.   

Fav!

The Crystal Ninja CRYSTAL KATANA Mixed Media Pick Up Tool and Nuvo - Deluxe Adhesive for gluing the shaker layers together.  This dries crystal clear and has a super fine tip for apply small thin lines of adhesive.
