Christmas Card Wedneday - Ornament Keepsakes Shaker Frame

A couple of weeks ago we had a great time making shaker cards at Stamp Club.  Because of time pressure and a potential shortage of Shaker frame components we didn't make our samples.  I've put together some samples for my club member's books using the 'Ornament Keepsakes' stamp set and matching 'Holiday Ornaments' Framelits.

The shaker frames foam tape circles that Stampin' Up!® sells are perfectly sized to match the circle punches.  I used a 1 3/8" circle for these samples.

I used a 1" circle punch for today's card.  I added some Stampin' Dimensionals around the edges of the ornament to fill in the gaps left by the smaller circle.  I found that I couldn't cut 'Window Sheet' with my circle punches so cut them the same size as the ornaments with the framelit dies.

This is what I used to make the card: -

Christmas Card Wednesday - Ornament Keepsakes

While the Ornament Keepsakes stamp set has always been available on the carry over list I find myself reaching for the stamp sets in the current Holiday Catalogue.  

I'm delighted that it's featured on the list of the 25 25% off stamp sets to give me a push to use it again.

It also meant I got out the matching 'Holiday Ornaments' framelits.  While unfortunately not on sale they make cutting out the stamped ornaments so much quicker and easier.

Occasions Card Wednesday - Christmas Cards using my Favourite Designer Series Papers

Just because a pack of Designer Series Paper doesn't have Christmas in it's name doesn't mean that it won't work really well in a Christmas Card.  

I have two favourite Designer Series Paper packs - Polka Dot Parade & Modern Medley - because they can be used for just about any type of card.

With Real Red and Old Olive Polka Dots and a Real Red Ornament from Ornament Keepsakes and the matching Holiday Ornaments Collection framelits.

The same design, a favourite of mine, using Rich Razzleberry and Marina Mist polka dots.  The 3.5cm squares are sitting between scored lines created using the Simply Scored.  So easy to mass produce using the place markers.

This time using Modern Medley with Basic Black on a Very Vanilla background.  Even though the 3.5cm square punch is no longer available I find it easy to cut squares that size with the Stampin' Trimmer or any accurate paper trimmer.

Of the three cards my favourite is the Rich Razzleberry and Marina Mist card.  I'd love you to leave a comment and let me know which one you like best.
