Easter Shaker Card

 Happy Easter to you! 

I hope you are getting to spend the day

with family and/or friends! 

I busted a move yesterday and 

made many Easter cards. 

I had intended to get them

made and sent earlier in the 

week but was dealing with an 

eye infection that made that

too difficult to do. So, the cards 

will be late but I hope they will

still bring joy to receive in the mail. 

This is a shaker card I made 

using a stencil, inks and a chick 

die from Simon Says Stamp. 

The shaker bits are from Stamp Anniething. 

The die frame and sentiment strip

are from Taylored Expressions. 

 

I’m entering the following challenges: 

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Interactive 

Critter Crazy Challenges #61 - Anything Goes

Happy Little Stampers April Die Cuts - Anything Goes 

Thanks for popping in to visit me today!

Crafty hugs! D

Interactive Easter Card

 Hello friends! Happy Easter! 

Yesterday I made a shaker card using one

of the Waffle Flower card front shaker panels. 

These are super easy to use. I learned though 

that you don’t need to leave extra space around 

the edges. It seemed as if it might be too tight

but it’s perfect if you don’t use thick 

shaker elements. I left a bit too much room 

and found that some of my shaker bits 

flip on their side and get stuck in the panel. 

A good knock on the edge generally 

Gets it to move away but if I had just 

put it down tighter it would be better. 

Anyhoo… I would definitely use these 

again abs I love how this turned out. 

The shaker bits are from Stamp Anniething. 

The background panel was created with a stencil 

by Taylored Expressions (I also used 

the TE inks). I heat embossed the 

sentiment strip (also from TE). And 

added a layered die sentiment to

the front panel. It’s a lot of fun but

I’ll definitely have to send it as 

a package because it’s thick. 

I put a ton of shaker bits in there!

I’m entering this card in the current 

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge

4/13 - Interactive. 

Happy Little Stampers April Stencil challenge

I must say that I'm absolutely in love with 

this adorable stamp set!! 

Who knew skunks could be so Stinkin' Cute?!  

For some reason a shaker card idea just 

kept popping into my head for this first card.

sweet background for the adorable skunk couple.

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Challenge #566 - Oh So Punny!

Hi friends - happy last Saturday of January 2021!

I have the pleasure of being the hostess this week

for the KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS

weekly theme challenge.

Challenge #566 is OH SO PUNNY!

I feel like maybe we could all use a little

light-hearted comic relief and a reason to smile 

 so I want to see your creations featuring 

a pun - or humorous play on words & images.

The Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps shop has LOTS 

of stamp sets that can be used for this - or 

mixed and matched too.  One such stamp set

is the newly released LUMBERJACK & JILL.

Just look at all those sweet punny sentiments!

Here's the shaker card I made for this challenge

I used the single wood chunk image and did some quick

and easy masking to create the wood pile around her.  

Isn't she just adorable? Admit it - you smiled didn't ya?

I hope that you will join us this week and submit

your own punny creation.  You can enter through

the KKS Blog or in the challenge album in the 

Krafty Friends Facebook Group. 

Here's some more inspiration from the Krafty DT too!

Happy Saturday everyone! Each and every Saturday

at KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS we give you 

a new challenge theme to create with.  

This week our hostess krafty gal Delphine has chosen the

theme for Challenge #547 of CIRCLES! 

One of my favorite shapes! 

I got a little overly ambitious and decided to make

a slimline shaker card featuring three circles.

That absolutely adorable quirky turkey and fun 

sentiments are from the NEW IT'S TURKEY DAY!

clear stamp set.  What do you think?

Do you like it? I will admit it was a bit of a challenge

for me after only making one fairly simple shaker card

previously. But I persevered and I love it!! 

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Stamp It!

Crazy 4 Challenges C4C551 - Shaker Card

Krafty Chicks Challenges #523 - Stamp Act

Crafty Catz - Challenge #517 Anything Goes w/Twist Not a Square

Simply Create Too - Challenge #164 Make a Shaker Card

the CIRCLES challenge?  I can't wait to see!!

You can submit your entry in the KKS blog link

or in the Krafty Friends Facebook Group (look for the 

folder to upload it there).  Every time you enter a new

creation in one of our challenges you get a chance toward

winning the monthly prize of a $25 gift voucher to spend

in the Kraftin' Kimmie Shop! And...if you use KKS

products on your entry it counts twice!  

Before I go... there's an awesome VIRTUAL krafty event

happening next week (starting on Friday, September 11th).

This going to be so much FUN!  I'll be doing a couple of the LIVE
