FTHS free stamp of the month June

A quick card today, showcasing this month's free stamp of From The Heart Stamps.

I printed the image onto Neenah Solar white cardstock and coloured it using SN alcohol markers. I die cut the panel using a SSS stitched rectangle die and popped it up onto a card made from pink SSS cardstock using foam tape. To finish things off, I added a few sequins and a little clear Wink of Stella on the butterfly, flowers and glasses.

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

PTW - Take your pick (colour - pink)
Simon Says Stamp - Anything goes
Creative Card Crew - 90 CAS

Bunny Zoe's Crafts - Furry friends

Red and white Christmas

Just a quick post from me showing the card I made tonight. I had another look at this week's TMS sketch and instantly knew what I wanted to create.

I cut off a corner from a piece of red cardstock and adhered this and several strips of cardstock onto a sheet of printer paper before die cutting with a SSS stitched rectangle die. I stamped the sentiment and jingle bell onto a die cut tag and did some very basic colouring using pencils and then used my clear Wink of Stella on the bell. Some baker's twine and foam tape was all that was needed to finish things off.

Santa Baby shaker (Jingle Belles)

It's time for more inspiration for the current Jingle Belles challenge. This fortnight's prompt is Shake It Santa Baby, so we're inviting you all to create projects that focus on Santa, Christmas shakers, or a combination of both.

This week I just had to make a shaker card featuring this cute digital Santa babe (Winter Wryn) by Tiddly Inks. I coloured the image using coloured pencils (Spectrum Noir)  and created my shaker using stitched dies (SSS), some patterned paper from my favourite Christmas paper pad (Signature Christmas, MME), silver beads, sequins (Studio Calico and a few snowflakes from the SSS Snowdrift sequins), a sheet of acetate and a double layer of foam tape. I applied a few tiny dots of multi-medium matte using a piercing tool and dropped some of the pierced interiors of the sequins (that were included with my Studio Calico sequins) and a few beads onto those for a little added interest.

You still have a week to link up your card, so why don't you head over to the Jingle Belles blog for all the details.
