A Couple of Shakers! :o)

Hi Crafters,

I've been on a shaker card making fest.

I have two to share with you today which were commissioned with particular themes in mind.

The first is using a Celtic Dreams Die by Lavinia Stamps called 'Hidden Secrets'. I love those whimsical houses.

I've also used a Lavinia Stamps printed background behind my acetate, I love the colours in this woodland night sky print. I've filled my shaker with lots of sequins in various blue shades and some glitter for good measure.

The fairy die is unbranded and the stamped sentiment is a magazine freebie.

~~~~~~~

My second shaker card is for someone who loves their cruise holidays and so I decided to create a porthole from mirri card using two circle dies of different sizes, adding the hole reinforcer cutouts from a tag die for the rivets and placing a picture behind it. The embossing on the background is a Tim Holtz folder. My champagne glasses are also shakers and are filled with glass beads. These were rather fiddly to create as I cut out the centre of the glass ( a Marianne Designs die) using a craft blade.

Challenges I'd like to enter:

Love To Craft - #38 ATG

Brown Sugar - #293 ATG

Moving Along with the Times - #106 Use Acetate

It's lovely to see you here again today, thanks for stopping by.

Stars and Sequins

Hi Crafters,

I couldn't resist another shaker card, this time for a 5 year old.

A glitter background and lots of stars seemed perfect for this fun boys card. My '5' was cut using a large Tonic Studio die and using the waste for the shaker frame.

I hope you've had a great week, I'm looking forward to the weekend.

A Couple of Shakers!

Hi Crafters,

I've been making shaker cards recently and here are two which use this lovely die that I found in a local craft shop.

Both are filled with sequins, I've got to start using up some of my stash, I have pots of different colours of sequins that I have accumulated over time and shaker cards seemed the obvious choice for them.

The papers are from two different Spring themed paper pads from Studio Light. I have added gems to the flower centres and finished off with Cheery Lynn corner dies and Spellbinder Banner dies.
