~ Christmas Joy ~

This adorable stamp called Penguin Christmas Sweetheart from Whimsy Stamps is ready to send some Christmas love to all your family and friends.  I love how this card turned out to look like a present.  The scallop and middle strips actually wrap around the card and slide off and the card opens up from the center.   This card would be perfect if you were giving someone a gift card.  All you would have to do is adhere the gift card with a piece of double stick tape to the inside of the card.  It would feel like they were opening up a present!

~ Donuts & Sprinkles Always Go Together ~

It's always a celebration when you mix donuts and sprinkles together!  I absolutely love making shaker cards and what's more fun than making one with sprinkles?!  These donuts from Whimsy Stamp's Donut Birthdays stamp set crack me up.  I added Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the pink stripes of the chocolate donut and Crystal Snow White Fine Glitter from Stampendous to the donut twist to give them some extra deliciousness!

When you shake the card, the sprinkles roll into the holes that the Snowfall Panel die makes from Your Next Stamp, which makes the card fun to play with!

 I found these super cute colored sprinkles at Hobby Lobby.  They match the Cream & Sugar paper from Doodlebug Design perfectly.
