Jen's Digi Stamps New Release Monday: Cotton n Candy

Welcome to New Release Monday at Jen's Digi Stamps. Jen created Cotton n Candy to represent animal rights and ribbon is to support animal rights/rescue. We rescued our Mini Pin Tina and our lives are forever changed. I had a wonderful time making this shaker card. I will be sending this card to a special friend.

I love these purple beads!! I usually don't like to hand write my sentiments but I used a Disney font.  For those with 4 legged family members remember to hug your dog or cat (or ferret) today. And remember, there are TONS of animals waiting in shelters that need your help and love. I would love another friend for Tina but have to wait for a better time. I hop that you will hop on over to Jen's blog to see what my fellow design team members made as well :) Until next time....

Stampin Up stamp, Markers, adhesive rhinestones, treat cup and patterned paper

Ribbon from the scrap pile

Cuttlebug D'vine Swirls embossing folder

Crayola markers and gel pens

I am so fortunate to be in this hop with the most amazing women. Some I have worked with before and others I am with for the first time. Nonetheless, you are going to find some spectacular cards here. Jenn's sketch was so much fun to work with. Here is a copy of Jenn's sketch:

Here is what I decided to make...

I wanted to make a shaker card because I had these jewel flowers and though they went well with the flower on the cupcake.The stamp is is from Jen's Digi Stamps; cupcake with flower. I took out my glycerin pens from Stampin' Up, some stamping up inks and went to town coloring. I have to admit that I need to ask Santa for a laserjet printer. (Do you think a printer company might want to sponsor me to endorse their product?). I actually cut the square of the card on the Gypsy because I can NEVER line those puppies up. Stampin' Up has these window sheets that I had ordered awhile back. I used large dimensional adhesive squares to make a frame over the plastic window sheet, added the jewel flowers and put the colored stamp on top to seal it. I then added a square piece of paper (same as the front) to cover the adhesive completely. I decided to add the bling to it as we know I love bling . 


I am so glad that you stopped by and hope to see you again tomorrow. For now, please hop on over to Linda's blog. Until next time....
