Hello! I’ve made a cute Christmas shaker card using Jane’s Doodles stamps. You can view the post here on the Jane’s Doodles blog.

I don’t often make shaker cards, but I had an idea to make a snow dome card and I managed to do this with some partial die cutting. I partially die cut a circle and then cut the flat bottom section of the dome using a craft knife and ruler. I need to remember to do partial die cutting more often.

To keep this shaker card simple, I coloured, cut and adhered the trees and reindeer from the Winter Fun stamp set on top of the acetate window, rather than behind. I blended in some ink to create a snowy backdrop behind the acetate. I filled the window with some tiny star sequins. I love how it turned out.

How is your Christmas card stash coming along?

I thought I would drop in on this fine Friday evening and share some Jane’s Doodles projects that have been over on the Jane’s Doodles blog recently.

First up is a this Christmas card using Jane’s wonderful poinsettia stamp from the Christmas Blessings stamp set. I also used the banner from He is Risen (an Easter stamp) and the sentiment is from the Warm Wishes set.

I coated the petals with some clear Wink of Stella glitter brush pen for some sparkle.

Next up I created a sweet tag using the Life is Good stamp set and the Cool stamp set. It took quite some time to mask and stamp all those hearts, but when an idea pops into my head, I just have to roll with it.

Next up is this card which uses the You Got This and the Stripes and Dots stamp sets.

And last but not least, this project is from a couple of months ago, and I realised I had never shared it here. I made some chocolate wrappers for my kid’s teachers as a thank you gift using the Lily, Doodle Flowers, and Mother’s Day stamp sets.

Well it’s the last day of the school term and I am on 2 weeks holiday! Yay! Hopefully I’ll get me some crafty time!

Until next time,

Hello! I have a card over on the Jane’s Doodles blog using the new Life is Good stamp set. You can find the post here.

I have always wanted a mason jar stamp – and I finally have one! I can see lots of fun uses for this set. To create my card, I flipped over the various fruit stamps on my acrylic block and stamped the wrong side first. Once dry, I used the right side of the stamp and stamped with black ink.

The mason jar is silver heat embossed onto vellum. I toyed with the idea of adding some tiny sequins into the jar, but I just couldn’t get it right, so I left it. I’ll certainly be doing a shaker version one day though.

Short and sweet from me today,

Hi there! I’m still burning the candle at both ends, but hopefully I’l be able to stop for a breath really soon! I’m popping in really quickly with my latest Jane’s Doodles card. I had some new Jane’s Doodles stamp arrive at my doorstop last week, and I couldn’t wait to play. This one uses the new Magical set. The JD store is closed at the moment while Jane is on a much needed break but make sure you head to the JD blog in the meantime, where a lot of the DT have been playing with this cutie-patootie stamp set. Look at that dragon. Is it the cutest?

Coloured with Copics and I love the addition of the dots. It’s all in the details!

I appreciate you stopping by today,

Hi! I feel like I’ve been a little absent from blogland lately. My Reeder feed is brimming to overflowing with all of your wonderful blog posts that I just haven’t got around to reading! Life and work is just super busy at the moment! I’m sure many of you can relate.

Anyway, I have a couple of Jane’s Doodles projects to share with you. I was on the Jane’s Doodles blog yesterday with some sweet and simple bunny cards. Who doesn’t love a bunny?

These cards use a variety of Jane’s stamp sets. The tone on tone stripes and dots on the base of the cards were stamped with the Stripes and Dots stamp set. The small bunny below is from the Suzi’s Easter set and the balloon is from the Monster’s Squad set.

The big Bunny is from the Spring stamp set and the sentiment comes from the Belated Birthday set (I just did some stamp surgery and took out the word belated). To add some shine, I added Glossy Accents to balloons. All the images were coloured with Copics.

I appreciate you stopping by today,

Hello! It’s been quite sometime since I last posted. There has been good reason for my absence – My hubby and I went on a little vay-cay (without the kids mind you) to Canada! We had an awesome time and loved experiencing such a beautiful country. I won’t bore you with details here, but you may have seen a few photos I put up over on Instagram (@marionvagg).

Today I have some playful tags to share with you, using a variety of Jane’s Doodles stamp sets. You can see them also on the Jane’s Doodle blog here.

I created the stripes in the background using the Stripes and Dots stamp set and a variety of ink colours. I overlapped the stripes, which created additional colours. The shelf was stamped from the LOVE  stamp set – it is actually a scalloped border, but I coloured it in with a black marker and it became a shelf! The plants are from the Plants and Cactus stamp sets.

I appreciate you stopping by today,
