Above The Clouds - Shaker Card

By
I have a card to show you today that I absolutely loved making - take a look


It's a Shaker Card using Above the Clouds. Over the years Stampin' Up have had some lovely balloon stamps but I do believe that this one is the best!

Pool Party card stock was used for the background and the clouds were stamped and embossed with white embossing powder. I cut a frame onto which I stamped my sentiment. I then added 3D foam tape to my background to fit my card stock frame. I think a couple of layers of tape is a good idea as you want enough room for your shaky bits to - well - shake!!
Acetate was placed on the back of the frame and wiped over with an Embossing Buddy to remove the static. Teeny tiny balls were added into the foam tape frame and then the acetate frame was placed on top.
The frame was then decorated with the balloons - stamped using last year's In Colours: Blueberry Bushel, Lovely Lipstick, Grapefruit Grove, Call Me Clover and Pineapple Punch. They were cut out and attached with 3D foam pads.


I am entering this card into the 

Simon Says Monday Challenge

BRIGHT AND CHEERFUL

Beauty of the Deep

I do love my nature stamps and I also love stamps of the sea whether it be above or below the waves. I have taken possession of a new set from the catalogue called Beauty of the Deep. I have made a card with this set as it lends it's self perfectly to the the new Boho Blue In Colour. It also has a gorgeous little fish which I couldn't wait to use - take a look Although I've mostly used blue ink I had added white highlights with a gel pen and then to finish it off a little sparkly blue gem. Thanks for stopping by today - if you wish to place an order or request a catalogue please drop me a message at  jacquelinenm68@gmail.com

Starting the Year with a Christmas Card

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!! Here is a card that has been made using the Sweet Gingerbread set - I love gingerbread houses and the stamps and matching dies are really cute. I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx

In The Frame.

Yesterday was birthday and my lovely husband bought me some crafting stash. Unfortunately he duplicated an ink pad (Distress Ink - Tea Dye) but the craft shop where he bought it were very kind and let me exchange it for something else. That something was a fab little Crafty Individuals stamp. So I raced home, turned my craft room upside down looking for my EZ Mount, and made this card for this week's Less is More  challenge. This week the girls wanted a one layer card with the theme 'In the Frame' Here is my card I made this by first masking off an area in the center of the card - directly on to a 5" x 5" white card blank. Then using my brayer I added some yellow, blue and green ink to the card. The masks were removed and the image was stamped over the brayered square. Thanks ladies for another fantastic challenge - Jacqueline xx.
