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.

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!

Guest Designer - Critter Crazy Challenge Blog #61 - Anything Goes with a Featured Critter

 Hello crafty friends!  Happy first day of April.

This month I get the honor of being a guest designer 

for the Critter Crazy Challenge Blog! No fooling! 

Challenge #61 is Anything Goes with a Featured Critter.

That means you can make ANY kind of creation BUT the main 

focus must be an animal - real (feathery, furry, scaley, or an insect), 

or fantasy (dragons, unicorns or teddy bears for example).  

If you are a lucky winner of this challenge (like I was) 

you'll have an opportunity to be a guest designer in the future.

There's so many options and possibilities featuring critters -

I can't wait to see what you make and share with us!

My card features a couple furry friends on a road trip.

I used products from several of my favorite

crafting companies on this card:

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - Tire Tracks stencil

Taylored Expressions - Clouds stencil, Oreo ink and Confetti Cake ink

LDRS Creative - grass die strip

Freshly Made Sketches #500

 Hello again, I'm back again with a second card to 

share that I made for the 

FRESHLY MADE SKETCHES Challenge #500

This time I used a fun new kit from Taylored Expressions

 (includes a stamp, stencil and dies) called In The Abstract. 

Taylored Expressions is one of the sponsors of

the FMS#500 celebrations.  

Here's the fabulous Sketch #500

And here's my card

I love the font on the sentiment. 

I was going for a fall type card but after I 

made it, I felt like it almost looked more like

Christmas colors.  That's the beauty of this set

really.  You could change the color of the leaft

sprig to green and add a different sentiment to

get a completely different look.

I'm also entering this card in the following challenges:

Little Red Wagon Challenge #616 - Stencil It.

and

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge (8/5) - Anything Goes

Thanks for visiting me today! Have a beautiful day!
