Mini Shaker Card Fun

     This is one of the cards we made at my November Stampin' Nite:

      This is a 3 x 3 card.  I got the inspiration for this card from the card I posted in THIS post, which ultimately came from Stampin' Up!'s Holiday Mini catalog.

      This card was a lot of fun to make.  The ladies did have some trouble with the shaker frames - they stuck to each other.  But other than that, all the cards turned out gorgeous!

Cute Candy Box

     I came across this cute little box on a couple of different blogs.  The originator of this box is Brenda Quintana.  Dawn Griffith also did a version of this box.

     The minute I saw this little box, I immediately made 10 of them :O)  I gave them to the ladies who attended a workshop I had a couple of weeks ago.  The ladies LOVED them.  They were so quick and easy to make.  Pumping out 10 was no big deal.

     Both Brenda and Dawn used DSP on the four sides of the box, but I used Whisper White card stock and stamped it - creating my own DSP.

Non-Traditional Christmas Colors

Aren't these just the cutest gingerbread men ever?

     I CASEd the gingerbread man idea from Heather Summers.  I love how cute and simple they were to make.  I opted for non-traditional Christmas colors, just for something different, plus to use the In-colors, which I have yet to do.

     I'm really happy with how both cards turned out.

INK:  Whisper White Craft & Blushing Bride or Concord Crush Classic Inks
