Shake up the new year

Well, just a few days remain in 2016...can you believe it? In honour of the new year, I have a shaker card for you today...

This is such a quick and easy one to put together, I actually offered it at an recent card buffet! I used a 4" x 6" cello bag to contain my shaker, inserting a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Pop of Pink Specialty DSP for the background and then adding sequins from the Metallic Assortment. I also added some punched confetti I made using gold glimmer paper and the Sprinkles punch. I sealed the cello bag with some Washi tape at the back and voila...instant shaker! Before adhering the shaker to my Basic Black card front, I added a strip of Pop of Pink Washi tape to the front.

The die-cut sentiment is cut from the gold foil sheets using the Hello You Thinlits. The stamped sentiment is from the It's a Celebration stamp set, which is only available for another week in the Holiday Catalogue.

On the iside I added a Whisper White panel on which I stamped the sentiment from the Frosted Medallions stamp set (also retiring!) in Basic Black ink, as well as some fireworks from the It's a Celebration set in Encore gold metallic ink (retired).

I love how quick and easy this card is...and if you're not into sending New Year's cards, it would be a snap to change out the sentiment for a birthday. So fun!

Think Pink

So? What do you think of the new catty? Isn't it completely fabulous?? I can't wait till all my goodies arrive tomorrow. It is going to be a VERY good weekend! Speaking of the weekend, this Saturday I am holding my retired product sale along with my new catalogue launch event. I've spent the last two days setting up all of my retired product...there's just a few items! If you're local to Cambridge, be sure to stop by between 9:30 & 1:00.

Now for a project. This one uses items from my pre-order, as my big order isn't here yet.

There's just something about the combination of Melon Mambo, Basic Black and Whisper White together. So bright and fun! That's why the Pop of Pink DSP was at the top of my wishlist. So many fun patterns in there with some fabulous hits of gold too. I used two patterns from that pack for the background panels. The focal image is from the Pop of Paradise stamp set. I stamped it in Melon Mambo ink and then die cut it and the Basic Black mat using the new Sweet and Sassy Framelits. Then I mounted it on dimensionals so it pops ;)

I added lots of gold accents with some heart-shaped metallic sequins, a strip of gold foil, and some gold sequin trim. I added a few more hearts punched with the small heart from the Itty Bitty Punch Pack (retired).

On the inside I added some scrap strips of DSP, card stock and gold foil, leaving the rest blank for a heartfelt message.

Thanks for popping in...have a great day!
