Hi friends! Just popping in today quickly to share a card I made last week! I came down with a cold on Tuesday (BOOOO) and have been feeling yucky. It's worse because every day here has been over 100 degrees outside! I'm starting to feel better and it's just a cold. But I am being a total baby about it! LOL. Mr. Lucky has been a great nurse companion - sleeping and snuggling by my side all day. What a sweetie. Hopefully I'll be good as new in a few.... Hope you're having a great week!
I love working with Queen & Company! Both the awesome people, and the fantastic products! Everything about Queen & Company is pure bright color, and pure fun! Such a joy to make a quick shaker card and stamp the perfect sentiment. Their kits are the bomb. If you are intimidated by making shaker cards I would encourage you to try one of their shaker kits. It makes it so easy to put it all together. The foam is cut, the acetate is cut for you and all you have to do is assemble everything! CLICK HERE to shop their store. CLICK HERE to see videos on how to put the items together.
I made a super fun Summer shaker with a palm tree! I used rainbow paper for the background from Doodlebug. The perfect match! Take a look!
I started with a kraft A2 card base and layered rainbow paper. Then I die cut two white stitched rectangles and layered those. My palm tree shaker is adhered directly to that top layer of white paper. The sentiment was stamping onto an oval of white in dark black ink! Let's chilllll....
I added some gems and bling inside - all in clear and green tones. You could add whatever you like! There are so many choices! I used Doodlebug Enamel dots in brown to look like coconuts! Every palm needs some coconuts right??
The shaker kits come with matching dies to use to cut out your patterned/solid papers. I used Doodlebug papers in brown and green.
Wonder why I feel like a trip to the beach right now!?
Thanks for popping by today! I hope you have a beautiful day and a fun Summer weekend coming up! XOXO See you soon!
SUPPLIES FOR TODAY!
Great work. It's a nice design. Thank you so much for sharing such creative ideas. Keep it up.
