Hello stampers and happy Friday to you. Bottled Happiness has been sitting neglected on my shelf until this week. Now it has seen ink and I love it so much. I think the best part has been finally using the Vintage Bottle Shaker Domes. Do you want to see what I made?
Vintage Bottle Shaker Domes
My box of vintage bottle shaker domes was tucked away, hidden in a corner of my stamp room! Was I ever happy to find them. I thought for sure I had forgotten them in Canada. Now I can show you how easy they are to use and how pretty and special they make your card.
The vintage bottle shaker domes are super easy to use as they have adhesive strips on both sides of the edges of the bottle. First you remove the top adhesive strip so that it will sit securely in the bottle opening. Then you add your effervescent elements that look like water bubbles. Remove the last adhesive strip and then you can add your backing. Done!!
The Finished Card
I love the soft and soothing feel to this card. It really is perfect to make someone’s day with happy mail, don’t you think? Here is a peek at the inside of the card.

Hello stampers. Wisteria Wishes really is WOW!! Take a look at the photo below and you will see what happens when you fall in love with a stamp set. To think that this bundle wasn’t even on my radar at first! The sad thing is, this bundle is retiring soon so be sure to get it before April 30. If you do, then you can come to my FREE Zoom class on May 17 at 1pm EST or 7pm European Central Time.
A Closer Look at Wisteria Wishes Cards
If you are like me, you will appreciate a closer look at some of the cards. My favourite thing in making these cards was making the wisteria blossoms out of watercolour paper that had been colour washed with Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape. I did a short video tutorial on this technique and I will share that video in this blog as well.

Hello stampers. I never had a snow globe growing up, but I love them as an adult. The idea of a miniature world in a magical dome with sparkly snow falling down at the shake of your hand is quite mesmerizing. Still Scenes Snow Globes capture that magic and whimsy and are perfect for your Christmas cards.
The Possibilities
Once you look at the Still Scenes Snow Globes you will quickly see all the possibilities. When you combine the stamp set, the dies, the snowflake sequins and the snow globe shaker domes your cards are going to be out of this world beautiful!
You can make great cards with or without the snow globe shaker domes.
You can choose to simply stamp the base which is beautifully intricate or you can make a base with heat embossing and a third option is to layer the two dies over top of each other with either cardstock or foil paper or a combination of both.
You can make a scene inside your snow globe with just stamping. You can add puff paint, shimmery crystal effets and/or ice stampin’ glitter.
You can make a scene using the various dies including deer, polar bears, a church another edifice as well as the framelit for the house and trees and a framelit for a grouping of three trees.
You could add the snowflake sequins as a shaker element for your snow globe or you can add them to your card as embellishments using fine tip glue.
You can make a bigger base by stacking two base framelits and placing a banner across the “seam” to make it look like a taller base.
Are you impressed? This set is super versatile and a must for every card maker.
The Cards
The Paper
Did you notice the gorgeous background paper? It is called Wrapped in Plaid. It is available in a 6×6 pack with 40 sheets. On the one side is a beautiful plaid with gold stripes and on the other side is a cute Christmas print that you would find on on quilts and kids pajamas. I love it that you can choose which mood you want and that there aren’t two plaid to choose from on one piece of paper! Oh the agony that would have been. The jingle bells used on some of the cards also come from the same suite as this paper, it is called Wrapped in Plaid and it also comes with a pine tree punch, gold mini pizza boxes, shaded spruce ribbon and of course the Perfectly Plaid stamp set.
