For my card today... I used Chickadee Ornament to create my shaker card. I used a Cuttlebug Embossing folder that had the greenery and a cardinal on it (from the Winter Wonderland Pack), but I positioned it so the cardinal did not show because it was where my cut out is, and I ran it through the machine twice to get more greenery. I stamped the fun image with Memento ink and colored with Copics. The red ribbon is May Arts Wrinkled ribbon and the bling is from Hobby Lobby. Inside the shaker I used chunky sugar crystals.... just enough to give it life and movement, but not so much that it covered my stamp, and I added some Stickles to the pine clusters.
I hope you are inspired by the simplicity of this design! If you did not see my sneak peek earlier I'll just show you that again, which was made using the Turtle Doves Ornament Set and again is super quick and easy to create.
Here are the sets I spotlighted today:
My second card used the image from Turtle Dove Ornament and sentiment from the Cardinal Ornament Set
Thanks so much for visiting today! To continue on the hop, your next stop is the Amazing Angie!
Blessings,

Those little chickadees are just darling! I think this is going to have to be a must-have! The doves look so classy in the gold and white. I was curious to see how this set would look with the hanger stamped - and the answer is fabulous :D.
Very pretty cards! Love the Chickadee card esp. all the white with the red frame & cool embossing folders!
Love your cards, they are so elegant.
Stunning cards! Thanks for sharing!
Love the birds even though I don't remember seeing any chickadees in Florida. They remind me of the north and the changes of seasons. Alice G
Hi Grace,
I think this card is magnificent! I love the coloring of this chick-a-dee ornament stamp. I love the sentiment especially. The red ribbon in the colored area, and then copied with the bow is wonderful. The shaker card idea great! I wish I could find that EF. It is just what I have been looking for. The red berries are great highlights. Grace--- this is beautiful! One of my favorite ODBD stamps now.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day!

I love how you incorporated the embossing folders in both cards to make it look like the ornaments were hanging from tree limbs. Your cards are both stunning.
