Easiest Shake Card Ever; plus the quickest Christmas cards you can make!!


Have you wanted to make a shaker card but didn't want to deal with the Foam Adhesive and window sheets?  Well I have a solution for you!  Use a clear envelope!  Yes; it works beautifully!

I used one of the Wonder of the Season cards, cutting it down to 4" X 5 1/4" and adding another layered strip.  I then inserted it into one of our clear envelopes (seen here) and folded the excess to the back, securing it with Tear & Tape.  Then I added some Sequins for Everything and sealed it up.  It's adhered to a Real Red card base and the greeting is adhered to the front. 

The stamps are from the Tag Buffet stamp set. 

You can watch how I did this in the video below; it's one of the first projects. 

In the video I also shared the Wonder of the Season Memories & More projects.  These cards are beautiful and filled with gold & red foil accents.  I love these because they are super quick & easy!  All I added were some Red rhinestones!  No stamping or extra card stock!  

Here are a few I made:

Remember I only used three products on these!  All you need are the cards (seen here) and the cards & envelopes (seen here) and Red Rhinestones.

You can use the 3 X 4" cards for the pretty card bases so the foil accents show.  Or flip the front to the inside and use the larger 4" X 6" cards on the front.  This way you can still see that pretty foil on the inside!

  • Gorgeous Notes of Nature card with free project sheet & video tutorial


    I had no idea I would enjoy creating with the Nature's Sweetness suite as much as I did. It's not my usual style but I'm in love with it all!  

    Here's one of the cards I shared on last week's video: 

    I used the Notes of Nature bundle and Old Olive, Black and gold accents on this card.  The large white layer is made by stamping a few of the background stamps in Black ink. I added two sets of leaves – one in green and 2 the other in the Gold designer paper. 

    I want to mention what I think puts this card over the top. Of course the gold additions attract your eye but I think repeating colors a few times helps a lot. Notice how the black is repeated, the Olive is and so is the Gold. If you have trouble with color combinations, try adding one color with a neutral or two. Such as Black & White with any color. 

    More Details:

    • I textured the Olive layer with the Exposed Brick embossing folder and used a Blending Brush to add Old Olive ink to it. This really highlights the texture! 
    • Also notice the small strip of Gold designer paper on the top and bottom of the stamped white layer.  This is the Nature's Sweetness specialty paper. 
    • I added gold sequins and gold Elegant trim near the greeting.

  • Spring Catalog display boards


    I thought I'd share some of my display boards featuring Spring Catalog products.  I've heard back that you enjoy these so here you go…..

    First up is the Hot Air Balloon and Bee My Valentine projects:

    Remember that many of these are swaps and are not made by me. I like to group cards together that use the same stamp set or designer paper. 

    Here is the Hot Air Balloon dies display.  See the Hot Air Balloon bundle here.  

    Next is the Perennial Lavender suite plus the Hills of Tuscany stamp set on the lower left.  

    Here's a close-up of the Perennial Postage dies I put together.  These are fabulous! See them online here. 

    Next is the Nature's Sweetness suite that features two bundles! 

    Below is the die display I created that is part of the Notes of Nature bundle seen here. 

    Below is the Lovely & Sweet dies display; see that bundle here. 


    I featured both of these bundles in a recent video seen here. Everyone loved the projects!

  • The Lovely Lavender Paper Pumpkin kit is stunning! *get a pre-paid subscription & earn free SAB choices!


    I received my January Paper Pumpkin kit yesterday and for the first time ever, I sat down and finished the entire kit!  Here are my cards.  


    The original kit makes 8 cards and 4 tags.  I added 4 card bases and a few extra coordinating cardstock strips and ended up with 12 cards!  They released the add on kit for the Lovely Lavender card kit today; it's just $11.50 and you can see it here.  It comes with everything but the stamp set & ink spot!  

    *I love these cards so much I'm featuring the add-on kit in a card kit to go in February!  

    Here's another alternative idea I made with the kit: 

    I used our Deckled Circle dies and the new Love of Spring 'add-on' dies for Paper Pumpkin subscribers.  The 'love' and the label die-cut are from these dies!  These dies can be seen here and are just $12.

    I textured the white circle with the Exposed Brick embossing folder and added a 3/4" Garden Green strip to the Highland Heather card base. The twine is from the kit and the gems are our new Fine Shimmer Purple gems. 

     

    If you aren't a Paper Pumpkin subscriber I want to consider it. The kits are worlds better than they were in the past. I love receiving one every month and having easy creative projects I can do when I have free time.  No planning or prep; just creative fun! 

    Here are your choices when subscribing to Paper Pumpkin: 

    1. Purchase a 1, 3, 6 or 12 month subscription here.  *get free Sale-a-Bration choices through February!!
    2. Subscribe to receive a kit each month here.

    I highly recommend getting the 12 month pre-paid choice.  When you do, if you add just $57 more to the 12-month subscription, you'll get 2 more for a total of 6 ($50) SAB choices + $36 hostess rewards + extra $30 hostess rewards! It's a pretty good deal!

    Did you know that you are in charge of which kits you receive?  Once you purchase a pre-paid subscription or subscribe you can opt out of any kit you do not want. Stampin' Up! shares what's coming up each month so you can decide if you want it or not.  You have complete control!

    *Plus when you subscribe with me, LeeAnn Greff, you'll qualify for a FREE tutorial each month.

    • This tutorial PDF is filled with 10 or more alternate ideas for additional projects you can make with each month's kit (includes photos & instructions) – making your kit go a lot further!  *see example photo below
