					<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello everyone&#8230; I hope you all had a fabulous and joyful Thanksgiving Day with your loved ones yesterday. We had a great time with my family here in USA, though I always miss my family back in Indonesia, too. So&#8230; Thanksgiving has passed and now&#8230; Christmas is 1 month from today!</p>
<p>I still have more Christmas cards to share with you all <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Today, I am sharing 2 cards I made with <strong><a href="http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/new-releases/2016/2016-november.html">Our Daily Bread Designs November New Release stamps, custom dies, and paper collections</a></strong>.</p>
<p><a title="CAS Christmas Greetings" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/24050009@N06/31206221725/in/dateposted-public/"><img data-recalc-dims="1" fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://i0.wp.com/c6.staticflickr.com/6/5636/31206221725_87e6c53e2a_z.jpg?resize=560%2C560&#038;ssl=1" alt="CAS Christmas Greetings" width="560" height="560" /></a></p>
<p>My first card is clean and simple. I simply cut the stripe patterned paper from ODBD &#8211; Snowflake Season Collection 6&#215;6 paper pad into 3.25&#8243; x 5.5&#8243; and added it in the middle of the A2 White card base.</p>
<p>For the sentiment, I cut a rectangle black cardstock (2.75&#8243; x 1.25&#8243;). On the black label, I stamped the sentiment from ODBD &#8211; Jingle Bell Time stamp set and then I added some of the Super Fine White Embossing Powder. I heat it up with my Craft Heater. Adter that, I added the sentiment label on the card with adhesive runner.</p>
<p>I embellished the card with some snowflakes that I die cut some of the snowflakes from White heavy cardstock with ODBD Custom Die &#8211; Snow Crystals. I added light blue watercolor paint on one of it. When the colored snowflake dried well, I added them on the card with Liquid Glass glue. Then I added some Silver sequins with Liquid Glass glue.</p>
<p><a title="Merry &amp; Bright Shaker Card" href="http://wp.me/p1DmW0-2HX"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://i0.wp.com/c6.staticflickr.com/6/5719/31201403205_6375f6ed37_z.jpg?resize=560%2C560&#038;ssl=1" alt="Merry &amp; Bright Shaker Card" width="560" height="560" /></a></p>
<p>My second card is no-bulky shaker card. Basically, the shaker window is not bulky because I do not use any 3D foam tape. I saw a tutorial on <a href="https://youtu.be/E8zKePcevKg">YouTube</a>. Jennifer showed how to make this card so easy <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p>I die cut A2 White card base with ODBD Custom Die &#8211; Rectangles to create a window on the card base. And then I die cut the holly leaves patterned paper from ODBD &#8211; Holly Jolly Collection 6&#215;6 paper pad to create the front panel window with ODBD Custom Die &#8211; Double Stiched Rectangles. I added the patterned paper on top of the card base with adhesive runner. The window on the card base is smaller so it show a white trim, I colored the white trim edges with Moss Green &#8211; Spectrum Aqua Marker fine tip.</p>
<p><a title="Merry &amp; Bright Shaker Card" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/24050009@N06/30834102930/in/dateposted-public/"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://i0.wp.com/c3.staticflickr.com/6/5592/30834102930_a4d987aaf8_z.jpg?resize=560%2C560&#038;ssl=1" alt="Merry &amp; Bright Shaker Card" width="560" height="560" /></a></p>
<p>On a piece of acetate paper, I stamped the sentiment from ODBD Merry &amp; Bright clear stamp set with StazOn black ink pad. I set it aside to dry while I was working on the Christmas Light strings. Stamping on non-porous surface like acetate, StazOn is the best ink to use.</p>
<p><a title="Merry &amp; Bright Shaker Card" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/24050009@N06/31201402625/in/dateposted-public/"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://i0.wp.com/c2.staticflickr.com/6/5770/31201402625_2e3772650f_z.jpg?resize=560%2C560&#038;ssl=1" alt="Merry &amp; Bright Shaker Card" width="560" height="560" /></a></p>
<p>On White heavy weight cardstock, I stamped the Christmas light strings with Versamark ink pad with MISTI stamping tool, added some Ranger Gold embossing powder, and heat it up with my Craft Heater. I did it twice to get the thick embossed image. It is easy to do double-stamping with MISTI tool <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> After I did the embossing, I colored them with Specteum Noir Blendable pencil colors. I picked the red and green that match with the patterned paper colors. Then I die cut the string lights with the matching ODBD Custom Die &#8211; Christmas Light.</p>
<p>I added the stamped acetate on the card to cover the window from inside of the card with Liquid Glass Glue. Then I added some color mixed sequins on it, not too much, or it will be too tight. I cut out a piece of white cardstock that slightly bigger than the shaker window, and then I added it on card to cover the window. I used 0.5&#8243; Scor-pal tape for this. And the shaker card is done <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
