Lighthearted Leaves Shaker

Guess what....I'm back with another SHAKER!  Yep, I am officially obsessed!  I have really been into fall cards and was pondering a way to make a cool shaker.  LIGHTHEARTED LEAVES is a new favorite of mine, so I thought about it and came up with this!

A rustic shaker!!  The idea for this kind of shaker came when I found some cool fall colored sequins at the Dollar Tree.  Of course I grabbed them up in every color and went home a happy girl!

If you'll look closely, the shaker is shaped perfectly as a leaf so you see all the sequins.  I did a similar card with the butterfly framelits, you can find more about it HERE.  You can also see a close up of the embossing and sponging that really brings home the rustic feel of the card.

I went with the EXPRESSIONS NATURAL ELEMENTS for my sentiment, it was the perfect fit for this monochromatic card.  I wasn't sold on these wooden elements at first, but now I love them!  In fact, there are more coming up in the Holiday Catalog that I plan on getting!

I hope I leave you inspired for fall card making!  Keep an eye for more shakers in the near future, my brain is already thinking about the next one!

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 with Frosted Se

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 Confetti Star Punch an
