If you have just hopped onto my blog, you can start here as this is a circular hop, as it so happens I'm the first stop when you are hopping across Canada, East Coast to West. If you came from Kristine's blog then you are in the right place!

For my project I decided to use Grateful Hearts paper and the coordinating Stamp set.  I have fallen in love with Shaker Cards, and decided that I would use the heart confetti thin cut to create extra pieces for inside the shaker.  I used Pomegranate and Sapphire cardstock for this, and pulled some out to add embellishment for on the card.  I used the Gold sequins for the inside of the shaker as well.The outer ring for the shaker is also Pomegranate and the sentiment is stamped in the same color.  I also utilized the zip strip from the pattern paper.  The butterfly is colored with Golden Yellow and Marigold Shinhan Alcohol Markers. To finish off the sentiment, I dove tailed to create a banner and added some doodles.

Your next stop on the Cross Canada Hop is Sheena.

Snowglobe Shaker Card

I've fallen in love with shaker cards, and got this idea to create a snowglobe shaker card.  The fun part was trying to create a file to cut the snowglobe to work they way I wanted it to.  Well after about a week of tweaking files I managed to create a file that I'm happy with.  I'm still continuing to work on the file since I have a whole other vision for this style of card.

I used some Pear cardstock  for the actual snowglobe and used the new stamp set Joy To You & Me (C1656) which I stamped using Cranberry, Lagoon, Topiary, Sapphire, Cocoa and Glacier ink.  I hope you like my Snowglobe Shaker Card.

Thanks for visiting!

If you have just hopped onto my blog, you can start here as this is a circular hop and if you plan on hopping from East Coast to the West Coast, you are in luck, because I'm the first stop. If you came from Corrina of Corrina's Crafts then you are in the right place! 

 I decided to try making a shakercard for my blog entry.  I started with the Hearts Thin Cuts to make the opening for the shaking.  I used the Dots Overlay from the All About the Gold Fundamentals Collection to enclose the opening in the Raspberry Cardstock(new color).  I really thought the Lagoon and White Cardstock paired well with the Raspberry and cut more hearts to create the finished card.  I used sequins in Gold, Pacifica and Lagoon shades to create the shake.  The sentiment is stamped in Lagoon Ink and is from the Happy Heart stamp set, and this stamp also comes in 2 other languages, French and Spanish.

Supplies:

Raspberry(X5788), Lagoon(X5762) and White Daisy Cardstock(1385)
