I had a lot of fun with this project. I started with an file from SVG Cutting Files. After making a couple of alterations to come up with the design I wanted I cut it out. I had to cut additional, "frames" in order to build up my shaker box.

The background of the shaker area was created with my Gelli Plate, after the paint dried I stamped some snowflakes with a stamp from Plum Purdy and added a diamond jewel to each snowflake and then I added some now flake confetti.

You can't really see it in the pictures but I dry embossed the bottom portion of the snow globe with a snow flake embossing folder.



Next head on over to Angela's Blog

Basket Weave Card

I had some play time yesterday so I made this card.

 

I used a basket weave fold. I made the background with my Gelli Plate. After the paint dried I stamped it with a stamp from the Hero Arts, "Anyone Can Stamp!" set.

 

The sentiment is from a Hero Arts/Sizzix stamp and die set.

Connie Can Crop - Instiration Challenge # 58

Our sponsor for this month's challenge over at Connie Can Crop is Connie!! Connie is a Close To My Heart consultant and she is offering a large stamp set as a prize for this month's challenge.

Inspiration Picture

I am using supplies that Connie sent to me from her store: Connie's Crafty Cart.

 

 

I was inspired by the blue sky, green grass and flowers. 

I used my Gelli plate to create the background, I used 2 different blue paints on the plate, when the paint dried I used a background stamp and StazOn Jet Black ink to stamp the flowers. I also added a piece of green and blue checked ribbon from my stash.

Here is a close up of the background.

The lettering and green paper are some of the goodies from Connie's store.

I never seem to have a, "Thank You" card when I need one so I am trying to build up a few.

Please come and join in on the fun!!
