Birthday Mini Shaker Cards

Today, I'm sharing some mini brithday shaker cards with you. I came across a package of 3x3 cards I had purchased at Archiver's a while back. These mini cards are perfect to add along to a gift. They were quick and easy to make and I love how pretty they look.

I used the Simply Said stamp set from Craftin Desert Divas. You can purchase this set by clicking on the store link.

I sized my shaker candle to fit the "Wish Big" sentiment and added the "Happy Birthday" sentiment to the ribbon strip. 

Other materials used:

Paper by Cordinations and Doodlebug

Twine by Doodlebug

Stickles

Confetti 

Candle pattern by SVG Cutting Files

Snowman Tag

Today, I'm sharing this sweet paper pieced snowman tag I've put together. Many times, I get a project idea and the finished project turns out to be completely different than I had envisioned. For this tag though, it actually turned out the way I originally wanted it too, so that's a first for me!

I've embossed the stamped Simply Holidays Wordart sentiment, from Craftin Desert Divas. You can purchase this set by clicking on the store link.

Other materials used:

Paper piecing pattern from My Scrap Chick
Martha Stewart Snowflake Punch
Martha Stewart Glitter
Ribbon
Twine
Bling by Recollections
Embossing Powder
Stickles

Wine Bottle Tag

I can't believe it's November and Thanksgiving is just around the corner! With that in mind, I created this wine bottle tag using the Simply Holidays Wordart from Craftin Desert Divas. I love this stamp set and have made a few different types of projects using it.

December Christmas Card

Hi there! Today, I am sharing this 5x7 paper pieced card I've created for my daily post at Craftin Desert Divas. I used the December sentiment from the Simply Holidays Wordart stamp set.

I have to admit, deciding on paper for this card was tough for me! Ultimately, I was happy with my final decision. I wanted the card to have an old style look to it, so stuck with deeper Christmas colors. I added some embossing to the snow at the bottom and just a touch of glitter to give the card some sparkle.

My favorite part about the card, the stamped saying! It brings it all together. You can purchase the Simply Holidays Wordart stamp set by clicking on the link above.     

Materials used:

Paper piecing pattern by My Scrap Chick
Paper by Simple Stories 
Embossing folder by Darice

Glitter by Martha Stewart
