Joyful Singing - Shaker Card

It's the November Challenge #53 at Paper Creator Crafts.  Theme: ANYTHING GOES  What a great opportunity to get some of my holiday cards made.  It was VERY hard to choose which image to use for the start of our November challenge.  Throughout the month, I will be creating more fun cards from Debbie at Paper Creators.

This little trio is called Carol Singing Mice Multi Kit from Paper Creator.  It comes with several different ways to complete your card along with background papers and pre-colored...how nice is that!!!

A2, snow button, acetate sheet and used FUZE for sealing

different angle to show dimension.  I cut out several pieces to make dimensional like their heads, lantern and chorus book

Happy Halloween Shaker Card

This adorable Good Witch is a Sassy Cheryl (pre-colored) from Paper Creator.  I had a good time with this sweet witch image.  

I cut the circles and frames with Lil Inker Stitched Circles.  I also used some left over darling pumpkins from U Can Count On Me Kit.  OK...I over did the sprinkles in one of my cards, but it sure was fun pouring them in the little bag and then sealing with my FUZE...which I love love love.

5x5, sequins, beads, spider and bat punches, metal pumpkin, twine, acetate, pop-ups for dimension

angle view, you can see a little pumpkin inside

I didn't realize the paper would be so "busy".  I couldn't pull off without destroying everything, so it stays...haha and I hope someone will like it.

A little boo

I just got back from the beach today so I'm a little tired but wanted to jump on some blogs,comment, and post this little card. Gosh...internet was so slow at the beach.

I also promised Faith at Daffodil Cards I would take pics of ocean and beautiful scenery....I didn't, but here I am.

You will have to take my word for it, but the inlet and ocean is behind me...haha

Now for the card....this came together so quick.  It's all from Lawn Fawn, Happy Howloween.  But, I made a shaker out of the moon.  I punched a lot of tiny bats and added sequins and beads.  I colored every thing with copics.

The QKR Challenge #208 says use Fall colors.  I think I will enter, but I will also do the challenge again using one of their adorable images.  I don't understand why more people don't use these images for the challenges.  I see so much fun and humor in the images...haha

A2, acetate for shaker area...used the FUZE to hold together...love that tool!

Charlie Horse Sparkle Shaker Card

My first purchase on-line was Charlie Horse by Laurie at Doodle Pantry (at the time she was with Clear Dollar Stamps).  Here is Charlie Bee all sparkled up!

I'm using a fuzing technique.  I ordered the We R Memories Photo Sleeve Fuze. While waiting, I used my seal-a-meal machine. I was able to make a thin shaker card completely sealed.  I used a clear envelop, put in my glitter and then sealed.  For sure nothing will fall out.

Don't forget our Ants in My Pantry Digital Challenge #7 at Doodle Pantry.  Get chance for a GC and even more surprises/chances if you use a Doodle Pantry image (not text).

"sparkle" is shiny green but had to see, Lil Inker Stitched Rectangle dies, word cut in Silhouette, sequins and glitter sequins by Martha Stewart

Graduation card for Rachel

Where have I been and what has been going on?  I don't want to bore you.  All the events these past 4 weeks have been overwhelming.  I'm back until July 23-29.  I have visited many blogs, but have not commented but trust me that all the blogs I visited put many many many smiles on my face during the day and the past weeks which was much needed.  So thank you thank you thank you very much for sharing your talents and blogging...awesome inspiration and HAPPY!

This is a much belated graduation card for a young lady that graduated in May and now  college bound soon.  The card was made from an old Stampendous flower clear stamp. I also used Stampin Up blue and yellow ink.  I cut the star using my Silhouette.

A2 vertical, acetate for shaker card area, ribbon, Scotch Foam Mounting Tape, Fiskar scallop border punch. beads, and Martha Stewart star glitter

Jar Full of Thanks (Shaker Card)

Several cyber friends whose blogs I follow have me hooked on Lawn Fawn, Mama Elephant and Lil Inker dies.  I have ordered  the Summertime Set but while I wait for it, I found this very old mason jar stamp....so old that it doesn't come with a name or maker.  It was an individual and not a company.  I love the set called Everyday Jargon; I love the pun sentiments.

Even though I wasn't using the Lawn Fawn dies (which haven't arrived yet), I followed the link HERE to help guide me.  Doodle Pantry has a wonderful set of jars so I will try that set next.

It's been awhile since I have created a shaker card.  With new elements and gadgets popping up on the internet and stores, it's fun to revisit some old fun way of making new interactive cards.

You Brighten My Day...

Oh My... I was excited to use Card Cut 7 set SVG from Doodle Pantry being introduced this month. Yup, and I'm still playing with shaker cards.  I've made 3 with this file, but only sharing this one with the theme: you brighten my day

I also used the Everyday Jargon set.  The only thing different is that I used some Lawn Fawn fireflies (glow worms). I just giggle every time I use the poem that can be found on the last page...so silly, but cute!

Join in on the September Challenge #50 fun with a chance to win a GC and receive a select free file if you use a Doodle Pantry image.  How fun!

5x5, acetate with gems and fireflies, wet embossed circles around glow worms/fireflies, brad, jewel, flower punch

flap opened, string, shaker goodies

glow worms/fireflies die cut from Lawn Fawn, glitter on butts, wet embossed yellow circles, copics

Sentiments, glitter on bums...haha

Fried Chicken

I laugh every time I see this image and the sentiment.  The image is "Fried Chicken" from Bugaboo Stamps. And yes, this little chick has fried her little and old a** in the sun from a young age.  I've been much better these past few years with the scare of skin cancer.  I still love the sun on my face.  I just make sure I grease up for protection.

I'm infatuated with perfecting my shaker cards....better and easier!  I placed real sand and some bling bobbles in the shaker.  I used my new Lawn Fawn "Life is Good" Stamp and Die set.

The challenge at Catch the Bug is "End of Summer"...use teal, bling and die(s).  Well, I'm headed to the beach this week for a last summer hurrah, used glitter and bling bobbles, and every shape in this card came from a die or cut from my Silhouette.

A2, copics, Lil' Inker Banner Die, cloud punch, sand, pop-ups for dimension, clear acetate

From The Heart Burger Birthday Shaker Card

It's time for From the Heart Stamp #77 Challenge. You can do the sketch, twist, or both.  The twist is flower power. I chose to do the sketch this time since I wanted to use this as a male card for a friend's birthday.  I'm loving this Birdbrain Burger image.

Yup, another shaker card. I used copics for coloring.  I'm changing glues thought.  The Tombow glue is not doing the job.  I used the Lil' Inker Flag banner die and of course, the 2 brads.

A2, shaker card, acetate sheet, brads, sequins and glass bobbles

Snow Shaker Card

It's been a long time since I have made a shaker card.  What better time than now with winter upon us.  Here in the South, we can only hope to get a glimpse of a few snowflakes.

Doodle Pantry has this fun set called Igloo Fun. The set has lots of goodies like the outline and pre-colored images, sentiments and coordinating papers.  There is still time to join in on the January Challenge #42.  You have a chance to win a gift certificate to the Doodle Pantry Store and a free set just by following the guidelines for the challenge.

A2 horizontal, stitching, snow button, plastic shaker, MS window punch, MB snow die

I'm on my way to where there ain't no snow!

.......Yup, is there such a place besides Florida?  I guess I need to go visit Celeste in Panama City Beach ...haha    This is my first time trying a homemake shaker box.  It was fun and easy.  I see where I can improve upon it, but all in all, I'm satisfied.  I used a bugaboo Butter fly Bear digi, PSE to color and a free svg image from Svgcuts, that I changed into a jpep.  I embossed the snowflake and added some glitter.  It will go into the Catch The Bug Challenge as well as ones listed below.
