Today's card will be entered into the following Challenges; Papertrey Ink, Customizing Patterned Paper, Simon Says Monday, Upcycle and Simon Says Wednesday, Shake It Up, To Make A Shaker Card.
Just one more reason why crafters are pack rats, see that empty Spellbinders die packaging? Yup, it now gets turned into the window for my Shaker cards! Not only will my card be interactive and fun, I am helping the environment....Go Me! ;)
My Designer Paper is by DCWV, The Basics And The Brights. Using the little heart stamp from Papertrey Ink's Swoosh stamp set, I stamped a little border of hearts in Melon Mambo ink, it totally frames the Shaker, cool! All other stamps are from their Polka Dot Parade #1 set. Don't you just love that sweet little Bunny stamped in Pink Pirouette ink as well as all of the little accent hearts. Just precious.
MFT Cross Stitch Rectangle dies used for the Shaker itself.
I also did something a bit different to my window, I actually added texture using my Swiss Dots Embossing Folder--this really looks neat.....try it! I don't know if anyone else has been doing it but I LOVE it! Little button for the Bunny's sweet little tail....cuuuute! Sequins and Glitter for the fun stuff!
Thanks so much for shakin' on down the road!
Enjoy~~
Love your bunny shaker card so adorable! Love the idea of using the Swiss dots embossing folder! How cool is that? Great pattern paper too! Hugs
ReplyDeleteAdorable, Donna! Your bunny shaker is the sweetest. Love the 'frame' of hearts on your pattern paper!
ReplyDeleteLove your fun Easter Shaker card - the hearts look pretty stamped on the circles - and the bunny is so cute with his button tail!
ReplyDeleteI not only love how you used some old packaging but embossing it was really cleaver! The bunny's tail is adorable too. Thanks for entering it in the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge.

ReplyDeleteWhen i get up in the morning, I pour myself a cup of tea, fire up my computer, and see if there are any posts from you because if there is you will make me smile so my day starts on an upswing. Go you!! Love this cute bunny looking into your shaker card and paired with this sentiment. Like Judy said giving texture to the acetate is so clever and I have not seen anyone do that. Great card. I'll just be shakin' down the road now.
