The Crazies are shakin' things up today with our next challenge! Cindy is our hostess for July and today she's got us making Shaker Cards! If you've never tried one of these before, you really ought to... it's a really fun change of pace from plain ol' cards. I actually hadn't made a Shaker Card in a few years, so this was fun to go back and try again. Check out Beate's tutorial on SCS to get started! Then link up your creation over at the C4C blog!
I thought this cute Percolator Circle from Stamping Bella would be cute for this card, and I used the sentiment from Perk Me Up Peeps to go with it. Since I made my shaker a circle, I knew I'd have a hard time using dimensional adhesive to raise up the frame from around my image, and I didn't have any more foam tape (like Beate uses in the tutorial). So what I did was use two Nestabilities circles, one that perfectly fit around my image and one just slightly bigger and cut out frames from about six pieces of lightweight white chipboard. Then I glued all those circular frames together to make the "box" for my shaker beads to go in. Worked like a charm! Otherwise, I kept my card design pretty simple, adding a bow with this pretty ribbon I found recently at Pat Catan's, and a background using my Cover-a-Card Gingham stamp from Impression Obsession.
Stop and see what's shakin' with the other Crazies today...
I hope you have a fabulous weekend! Happy stamping and thanks for dropping by!
