Hello crafty friends!
Today I have a couple of edge-to-edge holiday shaker cards with the beautiful SSS All Snowflakes & Pinecone Background stamps. I was totally inspired by Nina-Marie’s edge to edge shaker card! Please visit her blog and see her gorgeous card. It is so amazing!!
For my first edge-to-edge shaker card, I used the All Snowflakes Background stamp. I simply stamped the snowflake background onto watercolour paper with Cracked Pistachio, Broken China and Faded Jeans Distress Oxide inks. I then lightly brushed the background with wet paint brush – Distress inks react with water! Once the background dried, I trimmed it down as an A2 sized panel using an A2 sized rectangle panel die in the Basic Rectangles die set.
For edge-to-edge shaker card, I cut a piece of clear plastic bag bigger than A2 size, applied super sticky double-side tape to all the edges of back of the background panel, covered the panel with clear plastic piece, and then filled it with sequins and glitter. I added the “Peace” white die cut sentiment from CZ Design Peace die set.
For my second shaker card, I used the Pinecone Background stamp. I stamped the background onto watercolour paper using VersaFine Vintage Sepia pigment ink first, coloured the stamped images with some Distress reinkers:
Pinecones: Tea Dye & Gathered Twigs
Pine needles: Crushed Olive, Mowed Lawn and Evergreen Bough
I made an edge-to-edge shaker card like the first one. It was so fun to do!!
Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a great day!

Hello crafty friends, happy weekend!
Today I have mini slimline Christmas card trio with the SSS Holiday Greetings Mix 1 stamp set and lots of snowflake dies.
I love using traditional colours in my winter holiday cards. I can’t get enough of kraft, red and white no matter how much I use them, haha!
For my kraft holiday card, I used the Neenah Smooth Desert Storm cardstock. I die cut 3.125″ x 6.25″ rectangle panel from Neenah Desert Storm cardstock using the Mini Slimline Rectangles die set – I used the largest size among them. I then heat embossed the sentiment in the Holiday Greetings Mix 1 set on the centre of the kraft panel in white.
I die cut several different designed snowflakes from the same Neenah Desert Storm cardstock, then adhered them on the top and bottom of the panel (as shown in the picture) using fine tip glue pen. I then gently applied white pigment ink to snowflakes. I added opaque white ink splatters & 3mm clear sequins.
For my second mini slimline holiday card, I used white cardstock. For the sentiment, I stamped it with VersaFine Vintage Sepia pigment ink, then added clear embossing powder. 
I gently applied Tumbled Glass Distress ink to snowflakes.
For my last card today, I made it in the exact same way of my first card but used different coloured cardstock – Lipstick Red cardstock.
Oh, I was so happy to make them with beautiful sentiment and snowflakes!! :D
Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a great weekend!
Keep smiling and be blessed! God bless you all!

Hello crafty friends!
Today I have another Christmas card trio with the SSS Geometric Christmas Tree & CZ Design Peace Dies.
The Geometric Christmas Tree is so unique and stylish. I love it!!
I started by die cutting the Geometric Christmas Tree from white & assorted glitter cardstock – I used SSS White cardstock for outlined tree, and ETC glitter papers for all negative pieces. After die cutting, I applied double-sided tape to the back of outlined tree die cut, and inlaid all glitter pieces in place. Glitter papers and Christmas cards are a perfect pair, right?!!
To decorate the Geometric Christmas Tree, I die cut tiny snowflakes from white cardstock using the Stitched Flakes die. For the sentiment, I die cut the word “Peace” from white cardstock, shadow from vellum paper, and then glued them together using fine tip glue pen. I applied the Detail Swirls pattern on A2 sized paper panel, mounted it on white card base using Dot Runner Adhesive, and then added all elements as shown in the picture.
Here is my second “Peace” Christmas card. I die cut the Geometric Christmas Tree, Peace sentiment and tiny snowflakes from white cardstock same as my first card. For my own background, I freely spritzed Altenew Metallic Shimmer Sea Glass & Frayed Leaf ink sprays onto the Detail Swirls pattern panel. I then simply added white tree & sentiment die cuts as shown in the picture.
My last card today, I just wanted to express a peaceful snowy winter night. I die cut the A2 sized rectangle panel from Soft Navy cardstock using the Basic Rectangles die first, and then spritzed Altenew Pure White ink spray on the top part of the panel.
Once the snowy night base was dry, I added all elements as shown in the picture using foam tape.
Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a great day!
Keep smiling and be blessed! God bless you all!
