Shaker cards for Craft Box UK

 Hello friends, I'm back to share two shakers cards I made with the "My Grandma's home" 

papers and ephemera by Craft Box UK.

I followed a tutorial on how to make this kind of shaker on Angela Kerr's YouTube channel.

You can find it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7KF76FaXqo&t

These shaker cards are made with the lovely papers from Craft Box UK called 

"My Grandma's home".

This paperpad is still available but only in seconds.

 Please read the description on the Craft Box UK website. 

My Grandma's house paper pad seonds

I believe I also worked with a seconds paper pad because the colors are somewhat washed and 

paler then the original, but I don't mind that a bit. 

I love the paler look of the paper in contrast to the shaker parts.

For the shaker bits I used sequins, beads and micro beads from my own stash.

Well that's it for today, thanks for stopping by and until soon.

Hugs, Henriëtte.

Guest DT Card for create a smile

I have the pleasure to be this month guest designer at Create a smile challenge.
The challenge theme for the month of February is "Lovely". Just the perfect theme for the upcoming Valentines day.
For this occasion I've made my first clear shaker card.
I've recently purchased a fuse tool and this was my first project.

The cute piggy and sentiment are from a Create a smile stampset called lovely critters.
I did the coloring with spectrum noir markers.
Inside the shaker I placed a piece of patterned paper and heart shaped sequins.

All the info for the challenge is on the Create a smile blog.
Thanks for stopping by! I appreciate all your comments very much.

Hugs, Henriette.

So Suzy Stamps Heart Shaped Shaker

Hi, today I'm sharing a heart shaped shaker card. For this card I used two So Suzy stamp: Kisses and Arrow love.

Supplies used:

Grey cardstock
Pink cardstock
So Suzy Stamps  kisses and love arrow.
Heart shaped nesting dies
Heat resistant Acetate from Crafters Companion.
Versamark ink
Gold embossing powder
Clear embossing powder
the ton sequins
Ribbon
So Suzy Stamps ink cube wild watermelon

For my shaker heart I used a technique I saw on Jennifer mcguire .
I taped two pieces of heart shaped dies together and cut out about ten pieces out of pink cardstock and glued them together. I sponged the edge of the top heart with watermelon ink and a fingerdauber.

There's snow friend like you

Some time ago I ordered some stamps and goodies from Create a smile stamps and they finally arrived yesterday. So today I couldn't wait to make a card with the cute stamp set "made of snow".

I decided to make a shaker card and I used the Jennifer McGuire way to make the shaker piece.

For the frame I die cut about 8  pieces of white cardstock and glued them together.

Fourth of July

To all my friends from the USA a Happy 4th of July!

Have a wonderful day!

Hugs, Henriette

You're so tweet

My next card is a shaker card. It's a shaker card without foam tape like this great card from Joanna Harty.
I colored all the cherry blossom flowers and glued two together.
Later on I placed some cardstock behind the second layer of acetate because I forgot that the birds weren't two sided. So the card hasn't got any foam tape but it isn't a see through.

The images a free downloads from this Japanese site: http://www.wanpug.com/.
There you can find the most cutest free images in color but also in line out (it is a bit of a search).
I colored my images with spectrum noir markers.

The sentiment is a stamp from a previous Simon says stamp card kit.

The die cut is a dienamic from my favorite things .

I'm entering this card to these challenges:

cutie pie challenge: cute and love

glitter n sparkle challenge: things with wings

crafty sentiments: spring

Thanks so much for visiting my blog. Take care!

Hugs, Henriette.

Kiss Kiss

Wobbly eyes always have a funny effect on a card. I used wobbly eyes on a shaker card.

Together with the big lips (stamp from meljens designs) it gives the card something funny.

The background of the shaker is a free download, a journal card from dunia designs.

The frame is a die cut from mft stamps..

Shaker card for a baby boy

Hello..... welcome to my blog today,

I made a shaker card to enter a Dutch challenge called hobby journaal. The theme is BABY.

example card hobby journaal

I used a digital stamp from Eline Pellinkhof. I just printed it on kraft paper.

The alpha's are die cuts from Marianne Designs and I made the little tag myself using an eyelet.

Added a charm. The background paper is from Echo park "Sunny days ahead".

The little balls in the shaking part are styrofoam balls. They look very cute but they are also very static.

Blue, white and kraft is one of my favorite color combinations.

Sea Critters Shaker Card

Hello everyone,









Today is my part-time day so I had some time to finish a shaker card
I was working on with a sea critters theme.

I love the cute stingrays digital stamp from 2CuteInk. I colored the digi in Photoshop.

Made the shaker part using my cuttlebug, foam, acetate and little beads. I wanted it to look like a porthole.

The sentiment is made in Word and printed on the orange cardstock.

I would like to enter this card in these challenges:

virginia's view challenge: shaker card

Thanks for the visit.

Fruity shaker card

Hello friends,

The other day I bought a bag of little styrofoam balls.

I didn't know what to do with them then but I used them in a shaker card.

I cut three different size holes in yellow card stock using my cuttlebug, glued on acetate paper.
I used foam instead of foam tape to seal the shaker (tip from jess crafts blog ).
I cut out different sized circles using different colors cardstock.
The cute fruits are puff stickers from a local shop, as are the alpha's stickers.
It's a very bright and colourful shaker card.

Reach for the stars

Hi and happy Friday,

I would like to share with you a shaker card I made using (a part of) whimsie doodles background space border.

The spaceship, earth and astronaut are from that border digital stamp. I colored them in Photoshop.

The background paper is from the Simon Says Stamp March '14 card kit.

I punched little stars out of glittery white paper using this punch from a Dutch store (Hema)

I made the sentiment in Word using space themed fonts and printed it on the cardstock.

I'm all shook up

Hi,

"I'm all shook up" is a song by my favorite artist ever since I was a young girl, Elvis Presley,
and also an appropriate title for a shaker card.

I made a shaker card, cut out a silhouette image of Elvis and made the sentiment in Word.

shaker card

Hello, 


I found a cute blossom stamp on the blog "not just mum": (it is a FREEBIE!).

http://notjustmum.blogspot.com/2012/04/blossom.html

The design of this digi stamp is very nice. The designer Sharon did some pretty coloring herself.

I colored the digi with Photoshop in purple colors and decided to make a shaker card. The dotted paper I bought at our local market. The die cut is from Janny Stienstra.
I put pink and white spangles between the stamp and the acetate. I added some glitter borders around the card and die cut.

I'm entering this card in the next challenges:

Anything challenge blog: anything goes.

and

prairie fairy fridays: anything goes.
