YOU MAKE MY HEART GO BEEP

A simple but so cute and impressive looking shaker card!

This shaker card is simple to make. You will need a set of shape dies, the circle ones I used are no longer available, but any shape will work, especially if you have the same shape in two different sizes.

Here are the instructions and the list of supplies are at the end of the post. Remember its Sale-A-Bration time so when you purchase $60 (before tax or shipping) you get to pick a FREE ITEM! There are variety of stamp sets and pattern paper to choose from. Shop online 24/7 or email me your order.

1. Cut your base on Whisper White Thick cardstock (score at 4.25", cut at 5.5")

2. Cut Highland Heather cardstock to 4 7/8" x 5 2/8" and secure to front of card base. CutWhisper White cardstock to 5" x 3.75"

3. Die cut the circle/shape die out of the Whisper White 5"x3.75". Cut the larger shape out with Highland Heather cardstock and then die cut the center of it out, creating a frame.

4. Glue the frame to the outside of your shape.

5. Stamp your sentiment to the front - off center leaving room from robot.

6. Stamp the robot onto scrap Whisper White cardstock in Memento Black ink and colour in using Blends. I used the Color Lifter to lighten some areas. Cut out.

7. Glue/tape the window sheet to the back and using the foam adhesive stripes go around the back side just outside of the shape.

8. Add sequins/embellishments on top of window sheet and peel off the backs of the dimensionals. 

9. Cover back of shape with pattern paper (cut larger than shape). Add extra dimensionals around the outside of the Whisper White rectangle and place on Highland Heather cardstock. 

10. Using dimensionals add the robot to the front of your card.

CREATE & SHARE UPDATE & NEWSLETTER

Happy New Year! Welcome January 2022!

I can't believe that its been over a year since I've updated this blog! I apologize!

One of my goals for 2022 is to post here more regularly. So let me beginning by explaining why this Create & Share Blog had to take a bit of pause....

Welcome our sweet baby girl Faith! She became ours on January 13th and has brought so much joy, laughter and love into our family. It's true that our family feels complete with now having Josh and Faith. Faith was 3 months preemie and therefore was in the hospital until the end of January and we had many daily/weekly Dr appointments after that. All our time and energy went into taking care of her, adjusting to two kids and helping Josh navigate being a big brother.  

I am so thankful to my patient, loyal and fun customers who stuck with me throughout this adjustment phase. Both in growing our family and learning to do classes online. 

To stay up-to-date on everything I am bringing back the monthly newsletter and you can sign up below if you are interested. This is a great monthly email to receive with the latest Stampin' Up! news and details about upcoming events and classes.

Day 3 & 4 | 31 Days of Thanks

Welcome back! 

Today in the Create & Share FB Group I shared the video of me putting together my Day 3 & 4 of the 31 Days of Thanks project. 

Day 3

Journal Prompt: A food you really love

My background paper is from the Gilded Autumn DSP and the circle scallop is punched from Pretty Peacock card stock. The rest of the products are from Simple Stories and Thickers. Do you have paper and stickers that need to be used up? Pull them out and match them current product and get started! Its fun mixing and matching!

Day Four

Journal Prompt: A teacher who impacted you.

More of the Simple Stories products here.

You will noticed that I am using a combination of typed journalling and my own handwriting. Looking back I like to see both in projects. I'm not always happy of the look of my handwriting on projects but I know in years to come I will like to see that. Give it a try.
