Shaker Gift Tag… and a winner.

Hello, and a very happy Monday to you. I hope you had a great weekend - I certainly did!

Today I have a tag and photo tutorial over on the Hero Arts blog. It features the sweet Elves by Lia stamp set. Aren't these little guys just adorable?

I added sequins and beads from my Snowdrift and Sparkle and Shine Shaker Selections, MFT patterned paper, and a sentiment from Peace & Joy. TIP - if you add beads as well as sequins, the beads create a sort of hollow behind the acetate which allows the sequins to move about more freely.

Finally, I added a white tag on the back to cover up the stitching and add more messages, all from the Peace & Joy set :)

If you are interested, you can see full step by step instructions with photos on the Hero blog. :)

It's Your Birthday

Hello!

Just dropping by today to share my daughter's birthday card. She turns 4 next week (I cannot BELIEVE it), and I made her something fun and sparkly. 

I decided to use one of Simon Says Stamp's Christmas Cats as my focal point. I die cut a Stitched Circle and Stitched Rectangle from some Pebbles paper, then added a sentiment from Big Birthday Wishes. I added my die cut panel to some Echo Park paper, adding my Tinkerbell Shaker Selection to the window.

The Thickers are old ones from my stash…

I hope she likes it - she's definitely a big fan of shaker cards and sequins and glitter… I cannot wait to help her make her first shaker card… :)

Just to add, Simon Says Stamp are offering a fabulous 15% off everything in store today:

And of course, that includes my Sparkly Shaker Selections… find them HERE.

Thanks for visiting, have a great day.

Kindness Confetti...

Hi.

Today I am sharing a card created with a fab stamp from Hero Arts' Acts of Kindness stamp set. Hero Arts are generously donating 25% of their profits for this particular set to the Kindness Campaign to help end bullying.

I love this particular sentiment - and thought it would be perfect on a shaker card. I combined it with fun patterned papers from Echo Park and American Crafts, and a cute bunny from Simon Says Stamp's Abby's Spring Showers set. The sequins and confetti are from my Lily White Sparkly Shaker Selection. 

I hope the sequins look like confetti. That was the aim. :)

I really love Jennifer McGuire's Share Handmade Kindness challenges going on at the moment - I have sent out so many cards this month and it's all thanks to her. What an inspiration she is… 

Thanks for visiting.

Bye for now.
