Merry and Bright - Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Gina K Designs exclusive

  Good morning! I'm back to share a card using the next of the special STAMPtember collaborations throughout the month! Each collaboration is with one of your favorite companies, is limited edition, and only available while supplies last. When it's gone, it's gone! Today's special release is the much anticipated set from Gina K Designs:


I decided to create a pair of shaker cards to share! Actually, I planned on making one, but couldn't decide which way I wanted to go with the colors...so I made both versions. Now I can't decide which one I like better! I started off by stamping the ornaments in Ocean and Cranberry inks a couple times each (I had one large ornament of each color leftover). I die cut them, then decided to soften the color ever so slightly, so ink blended over VERY lightly with the same color of ink. I created a shaker window with Modern Teardrop dies, and blended the same two colors of ink at the top of my cardbases. I filled the shakers with Micro Disco Ball sequins, and reversed the colors of the background with the ornaments for contrast. Added sentiments from the stamp set, stamped in black, die cut, and popped up with a bit of foam on the acetate. By necessity (thanks to inky fingers and a smudge on one card!), I added a few Dazzling Gems in Clear to the front of the cards - which did a lovely job of finishing off the sparkle! Here are some more photos of these two cards:
