A Shaker Card Tutorial and BLOG CANDY!

I had lots of wonderful comments about my shaker card that I made two weeks ago for a Create with Connie and Mary challenge.  Many of the comments were about what is a jewelry bag and how did I make the card.  So, I decided todo  a quick tutorial for you today since it's a special day.




We are on day 2 of Preview Week for the Holiday Card "Create"tions Collection and it's my day to give away BLOG CANDY!!  You need to leave a comment today for a chance to win a FREE subscription to the card collection!!!  Now, on to my card and the tutorial.



I bet you knew it was going to be a Halloween card!!  I just can't get enough of this cute set, and it's perfect for a shaker card!  Here's a picture tutorial showing the jewelry bag and how I cut it down.  You can buy these in the jewelry section of craft stores.



This is a small bag.  For today's card, I had to cut it down.  The top right picture shows the top cut off and the bottom left shows the side cut off.  I used sticky strip to seal the open edges.  The card I made for the challenge two weeks ago only required the top being cut off.  It's all according to the size of your shaker front.



Once all of the sequins and stars were in the shaker pouch, I adhered it to the shaker cardstock.  This picture shows you how I placed it.  I left the backing on so you could see where it is.  I used dimensionals to adhere the whole thing to the card.



So there you have it!  A fun shaker card that anyone would love!  And now on to BLOG CANDY!!  Please leave a comment today to be entered for a FREE subscription to the Holiday Card "Create'tions Collection!

Let's get ready for Halloween!

I don't know about you, but I love little treats and decorations for Halloween.  I am already planning out some party ideas that I thought would be fun to share! I've been busy as you can see!  It all started with the thought of doing a banner and I just kept going and going! Each piece of the banner has different stamps and die cuts from the Howl-o-ween Treat bundle and was way more fun to create than I anticipated!  The panels are each 4" x 6" with the banner end hand cut.  I am actually working on a tutorial to release next week with the instructions for the banner and the treats so you can make your own!  UPDATE: YOU CAN FIND THE TUTORIAL HERE! Now let's check out all the treats.  I wanted a variety so there would be something for everyone's taste. I am well known for my chocolate chip cookies, so a cookie envelope was the first idea to come to mind.  They are 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" and are just the right size for a cookie!  The envelope punch board mad...

I wanted the sentiment to show through, so the shaker shows through the card front.  To make this happen, I used two stars die cut from window sheet along wit...

Woo Hoo!! Today is Day 6 of Preview Week and it's my turn to give away BLOG CANDY!!  I am super excited to be on the Design Team for the Spring Collection 2015 from Create with Connie and Mary. The new Occasions Catalog and Sale-a-bration Catalog are chock full of great products and we are here to give you great ideas for using them!!  Let me show you my card then I'll tell you more! I'm sure that anyone that follows my blog knows how much I love shaker cards and confetti, so I had to do one for today with a critter!!  The Cheerful Critters set is just so cute I knew it would be great as a shaker. The inspiration came from the December Paper Pumpkin kit that I have made a bunch of cards with.  It was super easy to recreate using the On Film framelits and the Best Year Ever Designer Series Paper.  The bear from Cheerful Critters was stamped and colored with blendabilities then fussy cut and glued to the front of the shaker.  A bunch of stars from the Confe...
