I gave this card to a friend several weeks ago when she was going back to work after a lengthy illness. I wanted to wish her good luck as she ventured back and let her know that I was thinking of her.
I wish my card had photographed better as it is so sparkly in person but that really isn’t being picked up in the photo.
Here’s how I made the card. First, I used the Stars Framelits to cut out the star shape on the front of the card. I cut another star the next size down out of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper. I embossed my sentiment with silver embossing powder using Butterfly Basics from the Occasions catalog. I used a piece of our Silver Fancy Foil Designer Series Vellum and adhered it to the base of my card by running snail adhesive along the silver stripes so that it wouldn’t be seen. I popped my Whisper White star piece up with Stampin’ Dimensionals as well as my Dazzling Diamonds star. Quick and easy but oh so pretty! Thanks to Dawn Griffith for this idea!
You’ll find the products I used to make my card below. You can visit my online store here! Thanks so much for stopping by today! Have a great weekend!

I love the new Mini Treat Bag Thinlits Dies and it couldn’t be easier to create the mini treat bag using the Thinlits and your Big Shot. You can put treats, a note or a gift card inside. I love that it will fit (opened up – see the last picture) inside our medium envelopes!
It comes with 2 dies to make the bag and 10 more dies to add extra details. I will admit that it has a hefty price tag but you receive so much more than just the die to create the bag.
Here’s another one where I haven’t folded the top of the bag over.

This is another card we made at my card class on Saturday! It uses the new Hello You Thinlits Dies. In this set you also receive the words happy, you and hello. I embossed most of my piece of Whisper White with the Spring Flowers Textured Embossing Folder. I left the lower section blank so that I could add a sentiment. The sentiment comes from the set Choose Happiness which can be found in the big catalog. Hello Honey isn’t a color that I normally gravitate to but this ribbon is so pretty! I finished the card with three rhinestones underneath the sentiment.
Here’s a purchase for some of the items to make this card that would make you eligible to receive a free product from the Saleabration catalog:
Hello You Thinlit Dies #137363 $24.95
Spring Flowers Embossing Folder #137784 $10.95
Hello Honey Quilted Ribbon #137864 $6.95
Whisper White cardstock #100730 $8.50
Total: $51.35 (before shipping/tax)

Note: It’s so funny how things just pop into your head at the most strange times. As I was waking up this morning it dawned on me that I did not use the Quilted Cotton Ribbon on this card as noted below. I used our 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon in Hello Honey #133671 $8.95. Sorry for any confusion this might have caused.

Today I have a shaker card using the Bow Builder punch. Yesterday I posted a video from Stampin’ Up! showing how to use the punch. If you missed that post, click here.
I also used the new Balloon Framelits and the new stamp set Celebrate Together. (If you decide to purchase both of these, be sure to use the bundle code – you’ll save 15% – see the list of supplies below).
I made my confetti using the Stars Border Punch and Silver Glimmer Paper. I also used silver sequins from a package of Frosted Sequins. These were in the Holiday catalog but I just checked and they are on the Clearance Rack! Besides the sequins, you’ll also receive pretty snowflakes that you can save for next year!
This set is photopolymer so it was very easy to place happy and birthday on my clear block so that they would fit on the front of the balloon. I used StazOn but had to wait a bit for it to dry. I immediately cleaned my stamp when I was done.
I don’t usually make shaker cards so I wasn’t sure how it was going to come together but it worked fine! I used the edges of my Stampin’ Dimensionals (a part that you might be tempted to throw away, but save them) to create a barrier so my sequins wouldn’t fall out. It wasn’t pretty to look at but that part gets all covered up! It was fun to make and I was happy with the results!
I want to thank fellow demo Jen Arkfeld for the inspiration for this card!
