Candy Corn Shaker

It's the time for Fall candy and candy corn has made appearances in stores. We're just under a week away from Halloween and I thought it was an appropriate time to share this candy corn shaker card I made. The candy corn is die cut with the Giant Candy Corn die by Frantic Stamper. I backed each section with the corresponding cardstock color and turned it into a shaker, adding sequins. The sentiment is die cut with the Elegant Thankful die. I stamped the paper with the Grunge Crosshatch Background stamp to add some texture. The yellow frame was die cut with one of the Pinprick Rectangle dies.

Thanks for stopping by today!

A Rainbow of Hello

Hello. :) I wanted to play with this camera paper from the Shimelle Glitter Girl line. I love camera images and what's better than a rainbow of cameras? I used the gorgeous Catherine Pooler inks blended on Bristol Smooth cardstock to create that gorgeous hello, die cut with the Hello die. (Do you have the Hello die yet? Love the handwritten "font" and the size!) The colors I used to create the rainbow are It's a Girl, Aquatini, Flirty Fuchsia, Party Dress, Orange Twist & Tiara inks from Catherine Pooler. I die cut the hello two more times and then adhered all three layers together to create dimension. I adhered it to a piece of striped vellum and added some sequins.

I'm glad you stopped by today! Have a wonderful day!

Joy, Noel, Merry Christmas!

This card focuses on a fun new die called Christmas Words Tree die. I die cut it out with a copper gold paper and then paper pieced the gold glittery star & Christmas on top. I also die cut some stars from the previously released Starry Sky die to add to the sky.

The border was die cut with the Stitched Mats: Dual Stitched Rectangles dies.

Merry Christmas Wreath
If you love to color this next stamp set is for you!

I die cut the Vintage Christmas Wreath and then stamped the wreath with the Vintage Christmas Wreath stamp set. I embossed it in gold and then colored it with Zig Real Brush Markers. For the center, I used one of the Stitched Mats Circles dies to cut a circle from Kraft. The sentiment is stamped and embossed and is also from the Vintage Christmas Wreath stamp set.

Lil' Inker Designs October Release: Day 2

Welcome to day 2 of the Lil' Inker Designs Release! All of the products being shown today are currently available in the Lil' Inker Designs store!

Today I have 2 Christmas themed cards to share using the new Rowdy Reindeer Stamps & Dies, Joy to the World Stamps & the Festive Florals Stamps.

Rowdy Reindeer

If you like Lil' Inker Designs sassy stamps, you'll love the new Rowdy Reindeer Stamps & Dies!

I die cut the reindeer with the Rowdy Reindeer die and the stamped him with the Rowdy Reindeer Stamps. I colored him with copics and added a sequin for his nose. The background was die cut with the Cover Up Die: Diamond Chevron and I backed it with a black & white patterned paper. I stamped the sentiment on the Pinking Edge Sentiment Flag die cut. I wanted to make it look like the reindeer was flying so I die cut & stamped some trees from the Rustic Christmas Stamp & Die set. I stamped the present from the Party Pachyderm stamp set and fussy cut it out.

Joy to the World
I love black & white backgrounds on card and I felt like the Festive Florals Stamps would work nicely to achieve that look.

Jen Carter Joy to the World Festive Florals Black wm

I started by stamping the background on white cardstock with the Festive Florals Stamps (there are coordinating dies too!). Then I carefully, carefully cut apart my Joy to the World Stamp so each line would be an individual stamp (you could do this same technique and just mask off the part of the stamp that you don't want inked up at the time too). I embossed each line in a different color on to black cardstock. Then, I popped the pieces up with dimensional tape and added a few enamel dots. I also wanted a pop of color on the inside of the card so instead of my normal white card base I used an aqua color. This card has a "twin" of sorts that I'll share at a later date.
