Christmas Bucket Additions

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you're having a great day. Now that the weather is getting colder our thoughts are moving forward to the upcoming holidays.. .Halloween, Thanksgiving and YES!! Christmas!!

I love getting the most from my dies. Pretty Pink Posh has several sets that are easy to build on like this Candy Bucket. There are add on's for different occasions so you can fill it and dress it up with any sort of treats you like!

This time I cut it from red cardstock to create a Santa bucket complete with black buckled belt. The additions die set has all the little extras you see inside the bucket like the holly, candy cane, present, etc.

The sentiment is from the Holiday Word Scenes stamp set. This is a set of sentiments that use pictures to complete some of the letters in the words. These are available for different holidays as well.

The background is a debossed Argyle Pierced Plate that adds lots of texture and interest to a plain cardstock background.

Merry Wreaths & Inspiration Hop and Giveaway!

It's a great day for a visit because I've got a giveaway to tell you about from Pink & Main. We're showing projects made with the latest release and if you hop along on Instagram and leave comments you're automatically entered into the giveaway! Read to the bottom for the details!

I wish you could see this one in person... the background Colorful Holly Foilable panel is foiled in a clear foil that sparkles like glittery snow!

I topped that panel with a solid dark green panel and slipped some Fun Scalloped Borders along each outside edge. This makes the focal point for my images.

The images are from the Merry Wreaths stamp set and these are just two of the images from the set. They're super cute and easy to color. The sentiment is from the same set. I cut it with a Extra Large Sentiment Strip and then slid a larger one cut from red cardstock underneath.

And now the part you've been waiting for..

Nordic Floral Butterfly

Thanks for stopping by! Today I wanted to remind you to play along with the Poppystamps  monthly challenge! It's a great way to see what other people are making with their Poppystamps dies, and to show off your style. One lucky winner will receive a $20 gift certificate to Poppystamps and you get the whole month to play along!

Our theme this month is "Make It Magic" meaning we want you to sprinkle on some stardust, I mean sparkles! I wanted to add lots of magic so I decided to make a shaker card!

I wanted to give you a little "behind the scenes" on this one. To add some support to the center of the circle shaker I added some foam adhesive before adding the sprinkles and topping the die cut oval opening with clear acetate and a finished frame cover.

A tip when making shaker cards or adhering over acetate or clear plastic is to use double sided tape. Liquid adhesives spread out and make a mess. I cut the white skinny scallop ovals from cardstock that I backed with double sided adhesive. After it was die cut I simply removed the protective backing on the adhesive and just stuck it in place. This also works great for sentiment and other small items that are hard to adhere.

The Nordic Floral Butterfly takes center stage and gems are a a natural go to for this card since the flower center openings are just waiting to be filled!

I'm linking up to Triple B Card Challenge where it's Birds Butterflies and Blooms! Hugs and happy crafting!
