Holiday Watercolor Shaker Cards

Here is a set of Christmas cards made with watercolor, embellishments and fun sentiments.

Fun right?

These are full of texture and frame layers.

The frame shaker window is filled with sequins and star confetti over a watercolor panel.

I included a glitter bow die-cut along with both traditional and funny heat embossed sentiments.

This little fox and tag sparkle with a hint of glitter using clear Wink of Stella.

Guest Designer for Paper Girls #90 AND Giveaway

Here is a set of funny Halloween treat wraps in the shape of bats.

Sentiment:  Trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat!

I like to include a handmade touch for our Halloween candy each year.  The theme for this week's challenge was the inspiration for these bat wraps.  

This shape was cut and scored from Cricut Artiste.  The cute face and funny sentiment were stamped in white craft ink, then heat embossed.  I added a sentiment tag and twine bow.  The sentiment is meant to look a little spooky and imperfect.  Small treats work best for this favor wrapper.

This is my second week being featured as Guest Designer on The Paper Girls Challenge Blog.  You are welcome to link up on their blog any Halloween projects you may be working on for Challenge #90 Get Ready for Halloween.
