Stampin' Up JOY card with Shaker Frame and Mica Flakes

(ugh, I forgot to hit 'post' the other day...so here goes)

Good Morning My Stamping Friends and Happy December!

It has been so warm in my neck of the woods (over 60 degrees F) that it berely feels like December. We weren't cold when we cut down our Christasm tree a few days ago and yesterday I wasn't even wearing a jacket. That's unheard of for me in December! Today, it's pouring rain and the temperature will drop dramatically so it's a pefect day for me to stay in the craft room and work on my Stampin' Up! Christmas Stamp-A-Stack AND some final details for my Scrapbooking and Card Making event this weekend.

Anyway, today I'm sharing a card we made during my last Stampin' Up! stamp club to show my friends how to use the Stampin' Up! Shaker Frames. I cased this card from fellow stamper Shannon Senecsko. I'm so glad she shared it.

I used:
Stampin' Up! Garden Green cardstock
Stampin' Up! Real Red card stock
Stampin' Up! Frostwood Lodge DSP

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Hi there My Stamping Friends!  I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. We certainly did. We have lots to be thankful for and lots to celebrate this Christmas. The girls went back to school Monday after a long winters break and the transition wasn't easy....for me. I have to admit that they got up and got ready without any complaining. I think they were ready to go back and catch up with friends. I, on the other hand, felt like whining from the minute my alarm clock went off. I was not ready to get back into the routine. But now I am and one of my resolutions this year is to be more organized, in everything. I really think that will give me more time for different things. So now its time its time to start posting on a regular basis again.

Before I go on to show you my card I want to remind you that THE NEW MINI CATALOG IS HERE. You should have received one in the mail (if you didn't, please let me know and I'll get one to you right away). My package of goodies should arrive on Thursday night so I'll post new things in a few days.

I will catch up with posting my current projects, but for now I'll show you the Stampin' Up! Christmas card I made this year.

I used a Cherry Cobbler card base and stamped snowflakes from Serene Snowflakes in Cherry Cobbler onto a piece of very vanilla. I stamped Merry Christmas from Teeny Tiny Wishes and punched it with the modern label punch and layered it on the decorative label punch. I wrapped a piece of cherry cobbler seam binding around the whispter white layer and attached that to the base. I used dimensionals to attach the cherry cobbler punch shape to the card and I was done. It was actually pretty quick to whip out 100+ of these.

If you want to purchase any of the Stampin' Up! products mentioned here please feel free to contact me at 703-200-2340 or via email at my e-mail address StampingWithRose-Ellen@cox.net 

Enjoy the card and tomorrow I'll post one of the other two cards I sent out.
