Elegant Shaker Cards...

Hey,

Happy Sunday to you.

Today I am hanging out with the Craftgang at Jamey's studio making stuff, gossiping and mainly eating!!

I thought I would share 2 cards that I finished off last weekend in my massive 'finish the half done projects on my desk' day.

These cards came about because I bought the MFT Peek-a-boo circle window dies and I thought it would be fun to make small shaker cards with them. I like that you get two different dies in the set.

Both of the shaker pouches were made using my Fuse tool and were just sitting around waiting to be used. Sometimes when my mojo goes on vacay, I make shaker pouches in all shapes and sizes.

The cards are actually quite small, as I used Target card blanks.

The anniversary card uses a Die-Versions die, a stamp and shaker contents by Simon Says Stamp.

I kept the other card simple and used a freebie Just a Note stamp, the shaker contents are also by SSS.

Elegant, simple shakers. And everyone loves a shaker card - right?

Moving Along With The Times..Numbers or Letters...

Hey,

Welcome to another fun Moving Along With The Times Challenge..

This time our Hostess is Judith and she wants us to use die-cut letters or numbers.

I made my card in October when I was at JT's house having a playdate. So none of the items you see on my card are mine - love playing with someone else's stash.

I used a great woodgrain background stamp that JT has and I inked it up with 3 different distress ink blues and spritzed it with water before laying my paper on top.

I love doing this, you always get a great effect and its a total surprise!

I decided that a word banner would work well and rooted through JT's stash and came up with this awesome Die-versions Cheers banner. I die-cut it in a coordinating colour and secured it to the card using mini staples.

It felt a bit bare, so I added some punched stars and some blue bling.

It has already left my desk and is winging its way to a friend.

Show us your creations, but first hop on over to MAWTT and see what the rest of the DT have been making.

Challenge ends on November 23rd at 1pm GMT. You can enter 3 times.

Getting my teach on...

Hey,

Happy Monday.

Hope you had a good weekend, I had a fun, crafty, hilarious weekend, spent with Cheiron at Jenn's Loft Art Retreat. It was nice to get home to Hubby yesterday.

I am still off and I am teaching a cardmaking class at my local community centre..lots of elderly people and my friend's 10 year old Son LOL.

The cards you see here today are the ones I am teaching - with the flower I will let people choose which colourway they want to make. The more boy focused ones I made specially for my friends Son.

Fun times, I'm nervous, but looking forward to it, I hope it goes well and people enjoy it.

I will show you my cards from the retreat later in the week.
