Today I’m sharing an envelope shaker card that we made at my December Stamp Club meeting. We used the In the Pines stamp set, Pine Woods Dies, In Good Taste Designer Series Paper, Sequins for Everything, and a Clear Medium Envelope. You won’t believe how quick and easy it is!

Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:
Shaded Spruce card stock (CS) cut to 4-1/4″ x 11″, then scored in half at 5-1/2″
In Good Taste Designer Series Paper (DSP) layer cut to4″ x 5-1/4″
Whisper White CS cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″ for the inside of the card base (Oops! I forgot to photograph the inside.)
Stamped with the In the Pines stamp set:
trees in Shaded Spruce ink onto the DSP layer
sentiment in Shaded Spruce ink onto the Whisper White CS
Cut using the Pine Woods Dies:
3 trees from a scrap of Shaded Spruce CS
Created the envelope shaker:
put the DSP layer in a clear medium envelope, making sure it was snugly down in one corner
put some Sequins for Everything in the envelope in front of the DSP layer
closed the envelope flap, folding down the envelope to the edge of the DSP layer
folded over the extra envelope to the back and secured with Tear & Tape (Stampin’ Seal or Seal + would work well, too.)
Assembled the card:
burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
envelope shaker adhered onto the front of the card base using Tear & Tape
3 die cut trees glued together, then adhered onto the front of the envelope using Stampin’ Seal+ (I pulled off the little strips and placed them on the back of the trees where they wouldn’t show
Whisper White CS glued onto the inside of the card base

Who do you know who makes everything better? Make this fun card for them. I used the Nothing’s Better Than Bundle (Nothing’s Better Than stamp set & Love You More Than Dies) to make this messy card, complete with “coffee stain.” It’s one of the projects we made in Stamp Club this month.

When was the last time you went a day without any chocolate. I’m not sure I can remember. I keep a supply of little dark chocolates in case of a chocolate emergency, which happens more often than you might thing. I used the Nothing’s Better Than stamp set (part of the Nothing’s. Better Than Bundle) to make today’s simple card. It was one of our August Stamp Club Projects.

Today’s card is one of the Make & Take projects I made for my Stamp Club. We used the Friend Like You Bundle (Friend Like You stamp set and Friendly Silhouettes Dies.) We created the sunset background using Stampin’ Sponges and ink pads. Be sure to start with the lightest color and work toward the darkest, so you won’t get dark ink on your light ink pads. I also recommend using a separate sponge for each color. I usually cut each sponge into 8 wedges, so one pack gives me 24 colors.

Today’s card is one I made for my monthly Stamp Club. It features the Bloom & Grow Bundle (Bloom & Grow stamp set and Budding Blooms Dies.) Every time I see the name of this bundle, I think of the song Edelweiss from The Sound of Music. There’s a lyric that goes “Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow, Bloom and grow forever.” You can hear the song at the bottom of this post.
