shake and vac

I have no idea how long I've been making shakers but if I was told it was 10 years ago I made my first I wouldn't be surprised!

I know that it is 11 months until Christmas, but I have a plan to make a few cards a month and no panic as the postage deadline approaches (I have this plan every year and it never works).

I. have to say the window on this card was super easy as it is a window with the merry in it from Clearly Besotted. I just cut the 'merry' again in silver glitter to highlight it. If you notice I've even got a soft cloudy sky in the background.

The confetti is some from Pretty Pink Posh and the pound store... so I don't waste the good stuff...

my little pony

If you are my age and you had 'My Little Pony's when you were a kid you would have found it hard to turn down these cuties from The Greeting Farm. I coloured him with comics to match the (really old) paper from Doodlebug Design, the shaker is full of Pretty Pink Sequins.

new home, old toy

I've had my silhouette for years, but for the last couple it has been mostly unused, but with a new home card required, and my stamps failing me, I thought I'd drag it out.

Mixing it up, a bit of a change from the pastels, I've made a shaker using a new Lawn Fawn sentiment and some really bright Sassafras Sweet Marmalade papers.

the birthday shakes

On my desk I found a sheet of vellum sentiments from a DCWV birthday stack and I though (in my shaker mood) that it would make a cute shaker card.

Finished with American Crafts Amy Tangerine Sketchbook paper and star and heart die cuts from Lawn Fawn and lots of bright Doodlebug Sequins, I lovingly went through the Doodlebug sequins and only pulled out the mirrored ones, now that is dedication :)

see that narwal shake his thing

A quick shaker card using Lawn Fawn Puffy Stars die and a critter from Critters in the Arctic, I tried to give the narwal stippling on his back but my Copic colouring is still a bit rough and ready.

shake that cute thing

I've spent a few days sorting and tidying my desk... my desk usually ends up covered in scraps of papers, half finished ideas and bits I've coloured in but not used.

Amongst them I found this complete journaling card stamped with Newton's Nook You're Tweet stamps and coloured back when I was still using Promarkers...

I worked it into a card using some American Crafts patterned papers and sequins from Doodlebug Design.

Pretty Pink Posh sequin shaker blog hop

I've made a few cards for the Pretty Pink Posh 1st birthday blog hop. I haven't made shaker cards in years so I had to dig out my foam.

Since it was a blog hop, I thought I'd make this the first post of my new blog (I've just been using tumblr since iWeb stopped working).
