JOY Christmas Card - Buttons Galore and Creative Embellishments

Tis the season for sharing joy.  So why not make a card and actually share joy, right?  Creative Embellishments shakers and Buttons Galore shaker mix were essential in my success.


The Evolution of a Shaker Design
The creative process can be an interesting journey. The idea behind this card actually started with the shaker mix.  


 Buttons Galore and More released a new product line called  Sprinkletz, which resembles candy.   The Limeade shaker mix reminded me of small spearmint candies. 
Spearmint candy reminded me of Christmas. 
Christmas reminded me of joy. 
Joy reminded me of my beloved shaker passion. 
And off I went to craft my vision. 



The Evolution of Chipboard Joy 
This particular card design was originally made with Creative Embellishments - Joy (word), which were individual letters.  I layered the backside of the "O" with foam to create room for shaker material.  I love the results and was pleased.  

Then I got to thinking that other folks would probably enjoy making a Christmas shaker with the word JOY as well so I placed a request for an actual shaker design with the letters already connected.  Thus Creative Embellishments - Joy Shaker  was born.  

The Finishing Touches - Embellishments 

The final embellishments to finish the card are 3D Buttons from Buttons Galore, and a few red "peppermint" candy pieces from the Sprinkletz collection called "Very Cherry".

Joy Pine Wreath Stamped Card - Spellbinders Card Club Kit

Joy Pine Wreath  Stamped Card - Spellbinders Card Club Kit 

Spellbinders Card Club of the Month for October is all about helping you prepare for the Christmas Holiday seasons.  Wouldn't it be great to have all your cards made without the rush, stress and bustle?  

This card kit is called "Sparkling Holidays" and is bedazzled with silver glittered stickers, silver foils, gems,  and the most magical images of the season set in soft purples, greens and blues.

Here's a look at the entire kit this month: 

******************************************************************************

The stamp set included in this month's kit was used to create the pine wreath.  I drew a circle in pencil first before stamping - this way I knew exactly where I needed to place the stamp.
I tried to "free stamp" and just go for it without any guidelines and I was an utter failure.  My wreath ended up egg shaped.  
So pencil markings it is!
