A Birthday Shaker

I have a quick post for you today with another fun card for the Winnie & Walter Birthday Challenges! Today I am playing along with the Shaker Card Challenge. I LOVE shakers! I wasn't going to miss this one!

I used the frame from the Picture Perfect set and then hand cut the window for my shaker. I grabbed the flowers from the The Big, The Bold, and Extras set. I cut those out and simply adhered them near the shaker, layering the 'happy' die (layered, for depth) over the entire window.

I filled the shaker with mostly flat silver sequins (LOTS of them) and added just a few colored sequins for some pop. I really like the mix a lot!

And that's all for today!

Have a Happy!

Seeing Stars

Hello, friends! I am back today with another card for the Winnie &Walter Birthday Bash Challenges. This time I was inspired by Laura's gorgeous inspiration collage!

When I saw those stars I knew INSTANTLY what tool I wanted to pull out! I recently got this cool Scotch Stars Patterned Adhesive Roller in a box of goodies I was sent and it was just too cool, so I had to use it! The adhesive it puts down is actually in star shapes! I rolled that onto my background and then sprinkled embossing powder over it to create a cool heat embossed background.

I die cut the happy from The Big, The Bold, and the Happy Cutaways set several times and layered them for a nice thick accent over the embossed background and then stamped the words beneath it mimicking the type set in the inspiration photo. I kinda love it. After rounding the corners, I brushed a gold wink of stella just around the edges to make the panel pop just a bit.

This was a fun one for me. the inspiration photo did exactly what was intended. It inspired!

Have a Happy!

Stacks of Color

I am so excited to share this card today! I have actually had the design in my head for quite some time and just got around to actually creating it. My vision for this one wasn't absolute, I knew it would involve playing around a bit, but I LOVE how it turned out in the end! I created this one for the Paper Smooches Sparks Anything Goes Challenge and the Virginia's View Dies Challenge. I hope you love it as much as I do!

I began by working my Big Shot to death. LOL! I die cut the rainbow five times in each color, and then once in white. Yes, that means I ran that sucker through the machine a total of 26 times. A crafty girl has gotta fit a workout in somewhere, wouldn't you say? HA! I then stacked the colors and covered them with white. I debated the peek on the edges or just keeping the front all white, but decided, in the end, that I like the bit of color showing on the front, although, the color glow created beneath the all white is REALLY freaking cool, you guys. For reals. I kind of love that.

From the top and the sides... dude...I seriously love this card from the top and the sides. It just looks SO COOL! Thus, you are about to enter photo overload. Just an fyi! HA! Just LOOK at that glorious color!

Mmmmm.... I do so love a wonderful rainbow! I also chose to do the colors in reverse order on this one. I think it makes it a bit unique and interesting and I like interesting. This card is done entirely in Paper Smooches dies - Look ma! No stamps! HAHAHAAA!... See what I did there? *sigh* I know. That was terrible. Anyway... Paper Smooches dies. They rock.
