Green shaker card birthday card

I’ve been nursing a few injuries, sprained ankle and bruised my butt when I fell straight down on it.  I went to sit down on a new to me walker. I was told by my ex SIL, “you have to have a walker” AKA She wanted the walker out of her house. But really she was a hero for helping by giving it to me. It was the walker’s wheels that made me fall. You could say it walked away from me. I landed right on my ass. I’m not complaining but the two injuries make it hard to craft. Here are just some facts: 1. I’m a fall risk and I can’t go downstairs. 2. I can’t give a clear answer as to where the pain is in my ass-which makes me feel like a pain in the ass. 3. I want to stand up to take the pressure off of my butt pain. However, I want to sit down because of my ankle pain. The butt pain has won that competition and I’m standing. 4. Lastly, the topic on weather or not I should go to the doctor for the ass has been a hot debate. Anyway. I brought some up some half done projects and have been able to put some things together. This is one of them. Thanks for looking.

Blue Square Best Wishes Shaker Card

I donated this card to a special little lady.

I used a Spellbinders to cut out the window 

The rectangle with stamped sentiment is an eBay die

I used a stencil by Gina Marie with distress ink to create the background paper 

I make my own envelopes for the square cards. I rarely send square cards. Therefore, this Christmas envelope was the only one I had available. I was in a hurry to get the card into the mail for a little girl's birthday. 

Note to self , make more square envelopes.

Thanks for looking.

Have A... IDK Something Shaker Card

This shaker card uses a sentiment stamp by Lawn Fawn 

The die-cut that the sentiment is on is by Spellbinders 

The patterned paper was made using stencils by The Crafters Workshop and another by Tim Holtz 

I sprayed with glimmer mist by tattered angels.

I can use this card for a get well saying:

Have a... 

“Speedy recovery”

“Happy birthday “

“Happy Anniversary”

Those are the only ones I can think of. Any suggestions?

Thanks for looking

Recycled Shaker Christmas card

I love to recycle things and put them on my cards. The shaker element is a To and From tag that I found in my mom's belongings. The red decorative tape is from Dollar Tree. The heart dies from Cricut and Lawn Fawn.

I have another recycled Christmas card using a junk mail paper. I layered it onto cardstock and added Stickles.

I just noticed that these cards do not contain any stamping. Wow, that's a new thing for me.

Thanks for looking.

Bubble Chalk Background Shaker Card

A long time ago, I made this background with powdered chalk mixed with regular Dollar Tree bubbles. I blew the bubble mixture onto white cardstock and this was the result.

Fast forward to March 2019 and I decided to finally use it for this shaker card. The beads inside are by Queen and Co. and the sentiment by The Paper Studio.

Thank you for looking.

Birthday Shaker card

I love the look of shaker cards and shaking them but they can be time consuming. I need to get a system down for making them - and one for my entire life.

The patterned paper by Studio G and the pink shimmer background paper and black cardstock paper by Recollections. The sentiment by Stamping Scrapping is heat embossed with Versa Mark ink and white embossing powder on a Spellbinder label die. The ribbon is what one might call vintage. It is from my husband's Grandmother stash. It's a shame that so much of it is covered up because it is beautiful. The sequins and beads are from dance costumes and donations people have given me with no packaging.

Thanks for looking.

Just for You Shaker Card

For my card today, I die cut the Design Objectives flower out of  SU cardstock, I stamped in red (Stampin Up ink) the Fiskars sentiment stamp on the label die by Clearly Besotted. There is a stamp that matches the die but I find it challenging to get the stamp and the die to match up for a perfect or even semi perfect stamped image that lines up with the die. It's an art form that I haven't mastered yet.

I used 3M dimensional adhesive and transparency film for the shaker by placing the red cardstock paper with the transparency upside down to prepare for the next step. I taped the transparency to the red cardstock, then adding the dimensional adhesive around the flower shape all the way to the edges of each piece of the flower. I poured the sequins and shaker stuff inside the bowl like opening that I made with the dimensional adhesive. I removed the release paper of the dimensional adhesive and adhered a piece of white cardstock to be the background of the shaker. As to close up the "bowl". I adhered dimensional adhesive to the rest of the red panel before adhering it to the polka dot paper (Studio G). Wow, I hope I said that correctly.

The sequins and beads in the shaker are unknown and the gold strips of sequins came off an old dance costume. What else will or can I use 4 totes full of costumers for? Maybe, when my niece gets older and can fit in them, she will be as fond of them as I am.

Thanks for stopping by to take a look.

Deep Red Stamp Friend Shaker Card

Today's card is another shaker card that I made using a Deep Red Stamp for the background. I die cut the Spellbinders label die out of purple cardstock from my stash. I stamped the Ville De Saint Denis stamp onto lavender cardstock by Recollections with grey shadow ink by Hero Arts. You can get the Ville De Saint Denis stamp at A Cherry on Top or Scrapbook.com.

 I assembled the shaker in the normal way adding some beads from a friend and sequins by Craft Medley. The outside of the frame is a rhinestone embellishment from Want 2 Scrap. The vellum sentiment was by CM and the pearls at the bottom are by Eyelet Outlet.

Thanks for looking.

Elsa Birthday Shaker Card

Welcome back on this Thursday for the Sassy Studio Design for the challenge of 

ANYTHING GOES

You can earn an extra chance to win if you use a Sassy Studio Design image. Then link up twice: One time to your project and The second time to your blog. If you have questions on how to do this leave me a comment and I will walk you through it.

For our anything goes challenge I chose to pull out Elsa because she is so beautiful and people keep asking for cards with her in them. Well this one is a little bit more than an Elsa card-it's a shaker card too! Very fun for a young lady that may like the shake it when Taylor Swift comes on the radio. Just a thought:)

I did a card at the end of March where I was making a water scene for a fish which you can see HERE. While making the fish card I wanted the fish die cut out after taking all this time to apply blue distress inks to the rest of the cardstock. I threw the piece into the recycles. A week or so later I remembered that cardstock and pulled it to give it new purpose. 

The stuff I put into the shaker card is such old materials that I've been saving for a while in the hopes that a technique will arise where I can use them. The acetate is old from the school when teachers wrote on them as an overhead projector. That's been brushed aside leaving found acetate for a crafter to use.

The image of Elsa is small making her challenging to color with distress inks as watercolors. But I think she look awesome the way she is and so I die cut her out using the same shape die as the window. 

The word dies are by Clearly Besotted (happy) and PTI (birthday). The were die cut out of glitter paper by Recollections and glued on with Ranger's Multi Medium Matte.

Christmas Cards Mid Month

Today is mid month for the Christmas Cards all Year Round challenge. The challenge is to create a Christmas card using only red and white. I rather liked this challenge and made three more cards to share today.

The first one I used Teresa Collins patterned paper for the background and then I die cut the white cardstock label shapes from my Cricut. I used the larger ones upright and the smaller one as a label for the sentiment sticker by Cloud 9 Designs. Then I placed the ornament stickers onto the die cuts and poked a hole in the sticker to the back which I threaded the hole with white floss to make them appear as though they are hanging down.

http://allsortschallenge.blogspot.com/ Occasion other than bday

My second card is a shaker card using candy cane and snowflake shaped sequins by American Crafts to fill the inside. The houndstooth cardstock is unknown but the foliage sticker on the left is by Little Yellow Bicycle and the sentiment sticker is by Mrs. Grossman's. The shape of the window is a Spellbinders die cut and the window film is by 3M.

Last card. I used the same houndstooth patterned paper in the shape of a frame and filled it in with two Martha Stewart ornament stickers. I did the same floss thing from the first card and the same sentiment sticker as the second card.

http://crafts4eternity.blogspot.com/ Two of something

http://simplycreatetoo.blogspot.com/ Anything goes

 I think I may have made these cards in this order by using components from the first and second card to create the third. Luckily when I send them out this December, no one will know.
Thanks for looking.

Glitter Shaker Card.

Fun shaker card for you tonight. The glitter is very old from my stash but the rest of the products are:

Patterned paper by DCWV and Studio G. The cardstock is by Recollections, sentiment stamp and ink by Hero Arts, die cuts by Design Objectives, and rhinestones from Hobby Lobby.

Elsa Sponsorship Card

Sassy Studio Designs is sponsoring the challenge at Not Just Cards and I made this Elsa shaker card for it. The image was printed out onto Ranger Industries watercolor paper and then colored in with a water pen and some distress inks. I die cut it out with a Spellbinders die and then cut the patterned paper by Studio G with the next size up. I made the shaker card onto glitter paper by The Paper Studio and with confetti by Bag of Chips Productions. The sentiment is a Hero Arts stam that I stamped onto vellum by The Paper Studio with Versa Mark ink and heat embossed with Ranger Industries blue embossing powder. I ran the vellum through my Xyron and adhered it to the card front. The little squiggle by the sentiment is from a bag of Dress me Up button thingy's.

Happy 40th Birthday Friend

I made this fun shaker card for friend's 40th birthday tomorrow. I hope it gets to her on time. I stamped the background of the white cardstock with a Hero Arts dot stamp and also added a Hero Arts sentiment. I cut the sentiment in half to use the Happy on top and the Birthday on the bottom. The 40 stamps are by Inkadinkado and the "Th" stamps by Lawn Fawn. The purple ink is by Memento Ink and the blue is by Stampin Up. The die cut is by Sizzix and all the cardstock is by Recollections. The confetti is from Hobby Lobby and in retrospect I added too many in side the shaker card. It's too hard to see the stamping. I will get it together for my next shaker card. 

Thanks for looking.

For You Mason Jar

My card today uses a sketch from Sassy Studio Designs. The card base and white cardstock are by Recollections, dark cardstock is by Stampin Up, and the pink die cut cardstock is by Sunborn. The die cut and border are both by Spellbinders and the heart die is by Papertrey Ink. The mason jar is a sticker by Jolee's that I cut and filled with sequins. The stamped sentiment is by Papertrey Ink with ink by Stampin Up.

Thanks for looking.

Mason Jar Best Wishes

I have another card to share with the small mason jar by Jolee's. I've had three other cards using this 6 pack of stickers. You can find them HERE, HERE, and HERE. This one I filled with pink beads by Craft Medley and then put the jar back together. The wood veneer die cuts are by Maya Road and I've painted them with Silver Adirondack paint by Ranger. Then I stamped a Hero Arts sentiment with HA black ink. The cardstock is from my stash with the patterned papers by Recollections {pink} and floral by Stamp Your Art 8.

That's all for now. Thanks for stopping by.

Mason Jar You're How Old?

I'm back with another mason jar card. You may recall me telling you that I bought these Jolee's stickers and decided to cut them open from the back where the lid would cover the opening. I've filled the first couple up with sequins which you can see HERE and HERE. This one is filled with beads by Craft Medley. 

I stamped the number background stamp by Hero Arts with Versa Mark ink and heat embossed it with Stamp N Plus white embossing powder. The patterned paper is an oldie by My Mind's Eye. The cardstock on top is by Stampin up and the whole card has it's edges inked with Ranger's distress ink. The sentiment is computer generated. 

Thanks for looking.
