Feels like Frost Shaker Card

Thought I had shared this card ages ago... but I have searched and searched and I can't find it on here after all!
So made back in September... exactly the same idea in my head...  but then the idea "solidified" by a lovely card made by the very talented  Linda Dalke whose post and video tutorial can be found by clicking here...
I just made mine on a 5 1/2" (14cm) Square card blank... and frame details slightly different... but I am sure that you get the picture!
And must remember to add rhinestones to the snowflakes before I send this out! As you can never have enough sparkle at Christmas time!

Feels Like Frost Acetate Tent Card for Fun & Fancy Fold Friday

Knew I had to create an Acetate Tent card the minute I saw the beautiful wintery scene papers in the Feels Like Frost paper pack...
Just don't know why it took me so long to get around to actually making it!!
And here is the original purple snowflake version Jill!!! Which I had to quickly remove as it appears that I just can't do with purple snowflakes... even though they co-ordinated beautifully....
And I did initially mean to use the other scenic piece of paper in the pack... but I had already used it!

Ooh... something else to share that I thought I had already!! Tomorrow then....

Lots of lovely Stampin Up ! products used in the making of this card... including Dashing Deer, Winter Woods and Greatest Part of Christmas stamps with Frosted Frames, Detailed Deer, Seasonal Layers and In The Woods dies... and Feels Like Frost papers (now out of stock in Europe!)

Mini Curvy Snowman...

So my catalogue case using the Let It Snow embellishment kit (as shown below...with more details here)
Inspired another make... or even two...
As I suddenly remembered one of my first Stampin' Up! stamp sets was still in my possession... even though it retired many years ago...
Thank you, Cold Play...  LOVING having this set out to play again...

Note that the eyes on the last one... are just inking up 2 out of the 3 dots that form the mouth...

Noble Peacock Pop Out Panel Birthday Card

Another of the Pop Out Panel Cards... featuring Noble Peacock 
Wish I had remembered to take a photo of all of them... As we have had options so far ranging from 16 to 80... 
And a 100 may even be on the cards by the end of the week!  Or should I make that a LARGER card!!! As 100 is so special after all...

Tuesday Tip - How to remove ink "smudges"

One of yesterday's cards gave me the perfect opportunity to share one of my favourite crafty non Stampin' Up! little workhorses...

Something that gets used for virtually every set of class projects I have ever made!!

Something that saves me from extended periods of screams in the craft room!

Something I just wouldn't be without in my little craft bag!

Look at the picture above... spot that smudge of Cherry Cobbler ink to the left hand side above the filigree border image...

Now look at the one below... and yes it has totally vanished!

Use a Sand Eraser to remove those booboos!!
Tombow do one, readily available on Amazon ... and I suggest you get the dual-ended Sand & Rubber eraser as then you have a "rubber" for both jobs- in-one...

PS the link to Amazon above is not an affiliate link or anything that I would get any benefit from... but it is the easiest way to show you what I mean!! But please do your own research for the best value offer available when you want to purchase!..

PPS There are lots of alternative ink erasers by other manufacturers... but mine is a Tombow one... and so I can't comment on how good the other brands are... but the Tombow one is
