Good morning!  There's a brand new stencil release over at A Colorful Life Designs today, and it's all about Christmas this month.  There are some fun new designs, from candy cane hearts to branches to deer and retro images.  I decided to make a fun shaker card today with the new Little Snowfall stencil.  I brushed some light blue ink over the stencil onto some white cardstock, and then wrapped the front of the stenciled panel with some recycled plastic.  After I taped the plastic to the back on three sides, I poured some Card Bling in the top opening.  The gorgeous Card Bling colors I used are:

The top plastic flap was taped to the back and then this panel was glued to a card base.  Lastly, I die cut the sentiment (Pretty Pink Posh) and glued it to the front of the shaker card.

Good morning!  There's a brand new stencil release over at A Colorful Life Designs today, and it's all about Christmas this month.  There are some fun new designs, from candy cane hearts to branches to deer and retro images.  The new Close Up Branches is a wonderfully versatile stencil!  I brushed three different colors of green ink over this stencil, turning the stencil each time I changed color.  I love the extra depth in this multi-colored background.  I added a panel stamped with a sentiment (Pinkfresh Studio) and some die cut foliage and a poinsettia (Spellbinders).

Good morning!  Did you see the new stencil release over at A Colorful Life Designs?  We are all about the holidays this month, and it's my favorite time of the year!  The holiday card ideas are flowing and I'm inspired by all the wonderful new stencils.

I love the new Marvelous Masks Arch stencils, and I wanted to experiment to see if I could get an arch "frame" out of two of the stencils/masks.  I placed the 4.25" stencil over an aqua card and taped it down.  Then I placed the smaller 4" mask inside the stencil and used a magnet to hold it in place while I carefully brushed some bronze ink between the stencil and the mask.  When I removed those, I did have a frame!  Cool!  After I stamped the sentiment (Hero Arts) and adhered the poinsettia and foliage, I splattered some gold and white paints over this card.
