Big Day Shaker Card

I had fun making a birthday shaker card.

Stamps: Big Day & Bloom with Hope
Paper: Whisper White, Coastal Cabana & Bermuda Bay CS, Birthday Bash Specialty DSP
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black & Bermuda Bay Ink Pads & Blendabilities
Misc: Lucky Stars Embossing Folder, Bitty Banners Framelits, Shacker Frames, Window Sheets, 1 3/4" Circle Punch, 2 3/8" Circle Scallop Punch, Dimensionals

I'm not sure why I don't make more shaker cards, i think I better remedy this.

Wacky Watercooler Blog Hop

Welcome to another Wacky Watercooler Blog Hop we are hopping in a circle so continue hopping until you return to your starting point, you will find plenty of inspiration along the way. Please leave a comment and let me know that you stopped by.

You may have hopped to my blog from my friend Marsha's blog, Marsha and I have been part of a couple different blog hops and I enjoy seeing her take on a project.

For the favorite past project part of our blog hop we are CASEing a hop members creation from last years Occasions/Sale-a-bration projects. I am CASEing Stefanie Pletscher I chose this card from last year.
Here is my CASE.

Stamps: Big Day (Sale-a-bration)
Paper: Whisper White, Bermuda Bay & Calypso Coral CS & Birthday Bash Specialty DSP
Ink: VesaMark, Metallic Gold Encore & Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pads, Burmuda Bay and Calypso Coral Blendabilities
Misc: Scallop Tag Topper Punch, Chalk Talk Framelits & Diamensionals

I think one of my favorite stamps is From the Herd.

Stamp: From the Herd
Paper: Whisper White, Wild Wasabi & Marina Mist CS
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black Ink & Blendabilities
Misc: Lucky Stars Embossing Folder & On Film Framelit

I made two cards for our hop using the same stamp- A favorite Anything goes.

Stamps: Hey, Valentine
Paper: Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler & Night of Navy
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Night of Navy, Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Bronze, Natural, Ivory, Smoky Slate, Daffodil Delight Blendabilities, Cherry Cobbler & Night of Navy Marker
Misc:Big Shot, Word Bubble Framelits, Glue Dots & Dimensionals

With the word bubble, after I cut it out but before I took the Framelit off the paper I used a Project Life Pen to trace around the inside of the Framelit. I  stamped and colored parts of a second image, cut it out and used Dimensionals to pop parts of the image up. For his hat I used a Dimensional in the center and a Glue Dot on each side of it so that it curves.

But- Hey, Valentine isn't just for Valentines!

Stamps: Hey, Valentine & Label Love

Paper: Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler, Night of Navy & Crushed Curry

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Night of Navy, Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Bronze, Blush, Smoky Slate, Daffodil Delight Blendabilities 

Misc: Circle Collection Framelits, Big Shot, Stylish Strips Embossing Folder, Lucky STars Embossing Folder, Artisan Label Punch & Dimensionals

Instead of a Chalkboard I went with color.

I thought the colorful dots look festive!

Chalkboard Big Day

For club last week we worked with the Chalkboard Paper and the Chalk Inks from the Occasions Catalog. The first card is the card we did in club and the second one is the one my 10 year old granddaughter made while I was teaching club.

Jaylin's Card:

She changed a few things

I think she did a great job!

Chalkboard Paper & Chalk Ink

The Occasions catalog has both chalkboard paper and Chalk ink! This card did not turn out as well as I had hoped but the chalk ink in the greeting turn out nice, the rest needs more work :). The stamp set is free with a qualifying order, yup it is a Sale-a-bration set with 5 stamps in the set!

Stamps: Big Day
Paper: Coastal Cabana, Whisper White & Chalkboard CS
Ink: Aquamarine Chalk Ink, White Craft Ink and Blendabilities.

The Chalk Ink turns out pretty on both the Chalkboard CS and Whisper White CS
