Hey friends! I’m happy to announce that Twiddler’s Nook is the monthly sponsor for the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge. The theme is coffee, Christmas and this month – cute critters! This was so fun to to mull over and create for! Ultimately, I landed on m favorite Newton’s Nook goodies, turned into a shaker card featuring a couple of Twiddler’s Nook embellishments as the shaker bits!
I’ve been heavy on pink lately so forgive me now but Christmas and Halloween are going to be a bit non-traditional this year. Hence, I started with a pink panel for my background stenciling and I love it!!! I cut that out with the Newton’s Nook Basic Frames rectangle and created a shaker pouch with some leftover packaging. I filled that with Candy Cane clay embellishments and Rosetta Pixie Dust Micro Beads.
For my images, I combined Newton’s Mug with sentiments and holly from Newton’s Gift. Don’t they go so perfectly? I love how it turned out! I also love combining my sentiment inside these large images. It’s so genius!
To pull it all together I cut the largest Frames & Flags die from the red polka dot paper in the Bright Basics paper pad and popped it up on a white card base. Then I glued the shaker panel to that with EZ Tear adhesive tape. Last, I popped my image up on that with foam squares.
For finishing touches I just added a bit of glossy accents to Newton’s nose and the berries on the holly. Just a little something extra.

Hey friends! It’s time for the next Twiddler’s Nook Spooktacular Instagram Hop! Today I have a fun card featuring a few great Twiddler’s Nook products but also a recent haul I purchased of Halloween goodies from Scrapbook.com.
I started by immediately cutting and building this ADORABLE little ghostie from the Spooky Bundle! This bundle comes with a stamp set, this ghost and sentiment dies, plus a paper pad packed full of cuteness! All of which I used today!
Next, I die cut a bunch of the “boo” sentiment and started playing with arrangements. I landed on this sort of flip-flop look and LOVE IT! After gluing everything down with liquid glue, I trimmed the excess off the edges.
Going through the paper pad, I chose this fabulous orange sky paper for my bottom border, trimmed a piece about 1 3/4″ wide and stamped my sentiment on the bottom right corner. Don’t forget to use your Twiddler’s Nook Pressure Pal to get great stamp images, especially for sentiments. No squishy fat spots here and there when you use it!
I lined the top of the orange panel with a strip of pink cardstock coordinating with the witch hat and popped my ghost up with foam squares.
For finsihing touches, I added glossy accents to the ghost’s eyes and stardust Stickles to the star on the hat. Then I scattered a sprinkling of Twiddler’s Nook Wishing on Rainbow Stars embellishments. I picked and chose the lighter colors in the mix by pouring some in a Twiddler’s Nook embellishment tray, which also made it super easy to pour them back in the bag when I was done.

Hey friends! It’s that time again…the 31st of the month equals the Twiddler’s Nook Spooktacular Instagram Hop! Today I’m sharing a fun shaker card mixing some of our embellishments together for a custom shaker look.
For my card today, I stamped some images from the fun Lawn Fawn Booyah stamp set and colored them with copic markers. After cutting them out with the coordinating dies, I used liquid glue to assemble my dressed up ghosts. Then I went digging in my stash for a fun die set to create a shaker window frame with. I landed on the Pretty Pink Posh Stitched Torn Rectangle dies. I used the two largest to cut a frame from kraft cardstock. I kept the inside to use as my background as well.
I was thinking spellbook when I pulled the MFT Stamps typewriter background stamp out to stamp on the kraft panels. After stamping, I used gathered twigs distress oxide ink to ink the edges of the frame and center of the panel.
For an added little bit of spooky, I cut the Lawn Fawn Cute Cobweb from white cardstock and colored the spider. Then I used liquid glue to adhere it to the under side of the shaker frame. After that I added acetate to the frame and foam tape in preparation for the shaker bits.
I inked up a piece of dotted purple cardstock with wilted violet and then black soot so it was dark but not totally black. I glued that to a card base, then added the center kraft piece to that. I sprinkled all the shaker bits in the center and sealed it up with the frame.
Finally, I popped the images up with foam squares, along with a heat embossed sentiment that came from the Booyah stamp set. I added a little glossy accents to the witch’s hat and vampire’s treat bag for finishing touches.
