Today I’m excited to share a shaker card with you.

I have been having a lot of fun making shaker cards recently!
I have also recently been admiring the work of May Park and came across this card of hers this morning. Isn’t it beautiful?

Here is one more of May’s lovely creations.

Back to my card……

I sponged the background with pink for the flower and green for the stem. On another piece of card stock, I then sponged a yellow center, drew in some details with a black marker and punched out the flower’s middle. Next I added 2 layers of foam tape to create two separate shaker sections. Then I added green beads to the stem and pink beads and flower sequins to the flower section.

The leaves, I stamped, fussy cut and popped up with foam. They are from PTI’s Pretty Petals stamp set. I added some vellum SU punched butterflies to the sentiment strip. The sentiment is from PTI’s A Cheerful Heart Stamp Set, which I absolutely love.

I’m going to play this over at Less is More’s Week 212 Wings Challenge, at the Butterfly Challenge’s #24 Butterflies + R is for Ribbon and at SSS’s Monday Challenge: No Rules.

Thanks for stopping by!

Places I’m Playing:

Today I have a multi-layer card to share with you.

My card was inspired by Melissa Phillips’ card for this week’s MIM #202.

Here is Melissa’s lovely creation.

Here’s a closer look at my card.

I used PTI’s Heart Cover Plate die in several ways for this card. I made a stencil and sponged the background and then used part of the stencil down the center of the card. I used some of the die cut hearts. Also, I used the cover plate to create a border die cut with a faux eyelet ribbon edge.

I used PTI’s Super Stripes stamp set to make another faux ribbon for the sentiment strip.
