Halloween Shaker cards!

Good morning everyone!

A new challenge starts today at Sparkles Monthly and this time we want to see your Shaker Cards!

As mentioned in a previous post... I'm back with my last two cards featuring the fabulous 'Boo Crew' Halloween kit from Simple Stories! Again, I used several papers, stickers, tags and chipboard pieces. I used a SSS stamp die for the stitched rectangle and to create the shaker I used MFT Peek-a-Boo die and a rectangle shaker pouch.   

Here's a close up so you can see the shaker/tag portion a little better :) Inside the shaker pouch I used black, orange & star sequins and added twine to the tags. 

I hope you can join us and don't forget to pop on over to the main challenge blog for

more inspiration.

I have a very busy week ahead and my computer time will be limited, so I will catch up with you all soon :) Take care and thanks so much for stopping by!

Good morning everyone!

Today I wanted to pop in and share a fun shaker card that Quinn & Maddie (our fur babies) are going to give to their Daddy for Father's Day! 

It features several adorable images from the Puppy Play stamp set from Mama Elephant... they are colored with Copics and the sentiment is from Hero Arts. I embossed the background with a Darice paw print folder and then cut it out with a Avery Elle die. I used a Sizzix die for the dotted rectangle and a MFT die for the stitched circle frame. To finish it up... I added a small flower and pearl to Maddie's collar! :)

Good afternoon everyone!

On my second card I cut the bunny and heart out of some bright green felt. I love the way these cards turned out, I can't wait to give them to my nieces tomorrow along with their Peep candies!

The papers are from BoBunny and I used MFT dies for the stitched frame, pierced fishtail flag and the cornstalk. I filled the shaker with tiny punched maple leaves, confetti and sequins... and to finish it up I added my hand dyed ribbon.

The Bride of Frankenstein

Good morning everyone!

I wanted to pop in today and share a Halloween card with you! It features an image from C.C. Designs... Isn't she adorable?!! I don't think this little Bride of Frankenstein would scare anyone because she's so cute!  

She's stamped with Memento Black ink, colored with Copics and I paper pieced her dress & the bow in her hair. The background was embossed with the CB Tiny Bubbles folder, the sentiment was cut with a Paper Smooches die and I used Memory Box dies for the ghosts & spiders. I filled the shaker portion with sequins and a confetti mix that included some really fun bats & ghosts, the DP's and cheesecloth are from my stash... and there you have it- a not too spooky Halloween card! :o)

Let's Chill

Good morning everyone!

Today is the start of a new challenge at House of Cards and this month we would like you to create a card using Metallic elements!

For today's project I decided to make my first ever shaker card! :) It features three images from the Swanky Snowdudes stamp set by Paper Smooches and the "Let's Chill" sentiment is included in the set! The images were colored with Copics, fussy cut out and then I added some sparkle to the grey areas with the Wink of Stella pen. The red background was embossed with the CB Snowflake folder and the snowflakes were stamped using a Hero Arts stamp and Tsukineko metallic silver ink. I cut the metallic silver frame with a MFT die and the shaker portion is filled with punched snowflakes, sequins, silver glitter and metallic silver lined seed beads.
Well, there you have it~ my first shaker card and my first Christmas card for 2015!
