Sweet Sentiment  has a new release! How FUN is this stamp set?! I haven't seen one like this before so it was so much to create with. I loved the different nuts that were included and the first thing that came to mind was SHAKER CARD! I printed the nuts multiple times along with the chipmunks and colored them in using alcohol markers. I used a cloud stencil to create a soft sky wash in the background of the card. I attached "The World has gone NUTS" sentiment to the upper right corner of my window shaker panel. I scattered some of the colored nuts and glued them down. I originally wanted the nuts to be my shaker elements but sometimes they would flip upside down and exposed the back of paper-it wasn't too pretty! So decided to glue them down and use seed beads and sequins as my shaker elements. I attached the colored chipmunks around the window shaker pan and added some more nuts too. I think this card is just too fun!   I entered this card in the following challenges...

  I do love shaker cards, and I've been seeing this edge-to-edge shaker card trend around and I just had to give it a try! It was actually much easier than I anticipated. I took the navy blue patterned cardstock that was included in my SSS August Card Kit and cut it down to about 5x6. I then cut an acetate sheet slightly larger than the cardstock and folded 3 edged down and taped them with double sided tape. In the open side, I added in my shaker elements (included in the monthly kit) . I taped it up and voila! Shaker element is done!! I stamped the frog and lilypad and colored in with my alcohol markers. I embossed the sentiment in white on green cardstock which I also used as the mounting for my front card panel! It was such a quick and easy card, I'll definitely be making more! Thanks for stopping by! Follow me on  Instagram  for more cards, reels and crafty fun! - Jill

 I finally caved and subscribed to the Simon Says Stamp Monthly Card Kit and received my August 2021 Box. It is filled with fun frog, toad and plant related stamps, papers and embellishments! For my first card, of course I had to make a shaker card! I used to find shaker cards so intimidating, but now I'm getting the hang of it. But I came across these foam fronts which make making shaker cards so easy! I had to pop out the foam insert and I stamped the sentiment and butterfly stamps. I stamped the frog image and some extra flowers and butterflies on white cardstock and colored it in with my alcohol markers.  I used the cloud stencil with my Stampin' Up Ink spot to create the sky effect. I filled the shaker card with the frog and flower embellishments that came in my box and added some green sequins for a little extra sparkle (I also feel like I never use green sequins!) These frog and flower embellishments are *toadally* adorable! I love how it turned out! Do you love making ...

Introducing..my first shaker card! This is SO fun! And I will TOTALLY be making more of these. I also realized I was a little too stingy with the sequins in the shaker element..::note to self:: the more sequins the better!   I used the Hero Arts "Birthday Messages" Stamp set. I stamped the cake image first on a light turquoise cardstock and embossed it in gold and then stamped the "Happy Birthday" message and embossed in turquoise. I then die cut the oval frame for the shaker element and propped it off with some foam tape!  Shake it off!  ::cue music here:: Thanks for stopping by! Jill
