Wow, right in the middle of heavy rains, tornados and tornado warnings, flash flooding and hail, we had a 4.6 earthquake here in central Oklahoma! Never dull here!!
Todays shaker card features the
A la Carte stamp "From Santa" (#120859, $8.95). Found in the "big catalog" and the minis also, these single image stamps are trendy, attractive, inexpensive and sometimes seasonal. They are also quite popular!
The card base is
Real Red, a layer of
Wild Wasabie then a layer of
Very Vanilla cardstock which has been dry embossed with the
Big Shot and a swirly
Texturz Plate from the
Background 1 set of plates. Over this is a strip of
Real Red cardstock which has been treated at the bottom with the
Scallop Border Punch, then a strip of the
Holly Berry Designer Series Paper tied with
Real Red 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon.
I used the largest
Shaker Frame in the package (you get six of each size [6 sizes] in the package) and it fit perfectly around the stamped image!
Stampin' Up!'s new
Mica Flakes in the
Holiday Mini are just perfect for Santa's filler and add a delightful iridescence! I added a punched circle from a
Window Sheet after adding the filler then topped the frame with a
Real Red Scallop Punch-out.
This was actually the first card I made using the new
Shaker Frames and I was happy to learn that it turned out to be simple to make a shaker! I hope that if you have bought these
Shaker Frames but haven't used them yet, you will do so soon! The shakers are truly easy to make, they add an interactive feature to your card and you can be creative with the "filling"!
I'll be back tomorrow with another Christmas shaker card, this time using DSP for my image! Hope to see you then!
Happy Stampin'!
