Oh Night Divine

A manger scene Christmas card using the Night Divine Bundle. I used watercolor paper for the background effect. Spritzed with water, then used the blending brushes to add shades of blue.

Night Divine 

Added the stars with a stencil and embossing paste inked with crushed curry. The sentiment was heat embossed on vellum. I die cut all of the manger images in white and colored with blending brushes and ink.

Easist Shaker Card Ever


 This is by far the easiest way to make a shaker card. I order these 4x6 cello bags on amazon. 


Then cut the insert pieces to 3 3/4 x 5. Stamp the insert or use designer paper, then insert in the clear bags and add sequins or glitter. 

When embossing on vellum you do not have to have craft ink or versamark ink. Any ink will work because it does not dry quickly on vellum, so just stamp and add powder and heat!


This is an old stampin up halloween set I found in my mom's stash. I buy the sequins at the dollar store.


Embellish with ribbons or sentiment! No need for the foam tape and way less hassle! For the Christmas shaker, I inserted the designer paper, then embossed the sentiment on vellum and slipped in on top. It was hard to get a good photo.
