Card Challenge Monday - Christmas Card Challenges week #5

Every Monday, I try to participate in different card challenges, today I am playing at Christmas Card Challenges blog and the word prompt for  week #5 is SNOW.   I pulled out a card I made a few weeks ago for a swap on Swap-Bot that is perfect card for this week's challenge.   It is a shaker card using the November Paper Pumpkin, Wonderful Winterland, stamp set and some Dazzling Diamonds glitter.

 

Why am I featuring a Paper Pumpkin stamp set from November?  Too show you that Paper Pumpkin stamp sets have use long after the kit consumables are gone.   This stamp set is one of my all time favorites and I plan to use it a lot.  Seriously, Paper Pumpkin is truly a great value for the money.  A monthly subscription is $20 and that includes shipping.  Everything you need to complete project is in one small box. 

 

• Started with 8 1/2 x 5 1/5 piece of Whisper White cardstock folded in half for card base.
• Stamp a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Night of Navy cardstock with Whisper White craft ink using background stamp from Wonderful Winterland stamp set.  Let dry.
• Once dry add white ribbon and adhere to card base with Stampin Dimensionals.
• Dye cut frame using Layering Squares Framelits and adhered piece of Window Sheet.
• Stamp 2 1/2 square of Whisper White cardstock with Night of Navy, Pear Pizzazz, Smoky Slate and Garden Green ink.  Add gold Metallic Enamel Shapes star.  Cover the edge of the cardstock with  Foam Adhesive Strips. 
• Pour some Dazzling Diamonds inside of the foam strips and remove adhesive protective strips and attach frame securely.   Use Multipurpose glue to attach shaker portion to card. 
• Shake and enjoy!!

Paper Pumpkin Friday - Wonderful Winterland

 

The November Paper Pumpkin  kit, Wonderful Winterland, is so wonderful!!  I love the blue color, the images and the stamp set.  You have probably seen all the fabulous cards and things made with this kit all over Pinterest and on Facebook. 

 

 

Today I am sharing my card creation from the kit.  I decided to make all my cards the same for an up coming swap.  The  vellum was stamped with the background stamp from the Christmas Pines stamp set with Whisper White Craft Ink.  Then I added a Dapper Denim background layer and some Dazzling Diamonds on the hill.  Attached the layers to an a retired piece of silver cardstock.  All done!!
