Birthday shaker

I made this card for Rhodé´s birthday which was a couple of weeks ago, but I forgot to show it here...
It´s made with a Crate Paper´s paper pad and the birthday die from Mama Elephant is one I borrowed.from Rhodé.

Thanks for hopping by!

shake it!

Just a short post today! I've made a shaker card for a newborn girl. I used some papers from Simple Stories. The name is stamped with a Hema alphabet and heat embossed. A couple of months ago I bought this red filling at Xenos. Unfortunately, the jar was so full that after opening the red stuff was scattered all over my workspace. What a mess! Luckily there is more than enough left. And it is perfect filling material as is shakes very well.

Thanks for coming by!

Shaker card

Happy King's Day! Before heading off to some King's Day activities I've got a card for you.
Yesterday our niece turned 14! She becomes a real lady, so I made her a ladylike shaker card with a shabby-chic touch. I used Crate Paper's Craft Market dp and the flower die from the Confetti line, also Crate paper. To add some extra dimension to the flower I used silver thread and gold sequins. Between the layers of the flower I used foam tape. The leaves are from vellum. The shaker part is filled with silver and gold sequins. I personalized the card by stamping her name into the shaker part.

Sometimes I can't show you anything, because there is no production in studio Saar & Pien. Now, two posts in two days! I'm definitely in a cardmaking flow. Yesterday I showed you a card with a technique Betsy Veldman demonstrated in the Make-it-Monday video at the PTI blog. I wasn't quite satisfied about that one and wanted to give it a second try. Now I used some grey inks and I added some Perfect Pearls to the water which gives a shine to the card. I wanted to create a shakercard with a heart and some glimmer. I used a sentiment from the PTI's Mini Blooms set. I love the CAS-effect!

Hopefully see you soon!

Love

A couple of weeks ago Judith sent me a birthday card and a little present which made me very happy: Lawn Fawn's word die 'Love'. This weekend I created two cards with the die.

For the first card I made a background using a sponge dauber and SU ink. I just draw stripes. I die cut a circle out of vellum, added thread and stamped a small heart, also from Lawn Fawn. I finally adhered the die cut with some foam tape to the circle.

The second card is a shaker card. I die cut tiny hearts with a Lawn Fawn border die and mixed those hearts with sequins. I created a design paper with glimmer mist and a mask (yep, did it before here  )

Did you know that when you rub the transparency sheet, the little hearts stick to the sheet? So, they won't fall down at the bottom of the shaker part!

At DCL they challenged us to use a transparency sheet, well here it is!

Judith, thanks a lot for this present!
