A Shaker Card For My Christmas Stash


I know that I have been a little remiss this week with my posting and I apologise, but I have been cataloguing my cling stamps, all the clear ones are up to date now, most of the dies are done and I have started on my cling stamps (mostly SU).

However, I bought a 'Simply Cards & Papercraft' magazine and it had a lovely stamp set and matching embossing folder that came with it and I felt that the snow-globe was crying out to be made into a shaker.

I stamped the snow-globe on to a panel of  card-stock to match my base card, cut a hole with a circle die, coloured the snow-globe base, stamped a sentiment from the same stamp set and spread some 'sparkle gel' through a SSS 'Falling Snow' stencil.

Meanwhile, whilst the sparkle gel was drying, (disappointingly, not very sparkly, it turns out) I made up my shaker.  I used some chunky iridescent glitter that I have by popping it into a small see-through bag and stuck that down behind the window with scotch tape.

Finally, I mounted the whole thing on to my base card with foam tape.  Here it is.









 

That's it for me today, my dear, crafty friends.  Thank you for your visit and if you left a little love, thank you, it's most appreciated and I will reciprocate!  Have a lovely day!  Hazel xx

Less Is More Challenge #194 - Little Creatures

Today I decided to narrow the challenges down to the few who have bothered to comment on the entries that I have put forward for their challenges.  Oh, I know I will be in for a lot of criticism here, people are busy etc., but if I was running a challenge I would make sure that I at least took the trouble to thank each and every entrant, (or allocate a member of the DT to comment)

As a brand new blogger I find it very disheartening when I have spent time and supplies to make something for a challenge and nobody bothers!  So, thank you one and all over at the 'Less Is More' blog for making time in your busy lives to comment on a newbies attempts.  I am very grateful to you all!

Rant over . . . sorry about that folks!

Here is my submission for the terrific, Less Is More challenge #194 - 'Little Critters'

This was also my very first shaker card!  Although LIM, say that the card should be one layer and clean and simple I was unsure whether - with it being a shaker card - this was allowable - perhaps someone from the LIM team could tell me?









I really enjoyed this challenge, it was fun!

Supplies:

Stamps & Dies - Simon Says Stamp 'Best Fishes' & Clearly Besotted 'Basic Banners'
Stencil - Simon Says Stamp 'Waves'
Inks - Tim Holtz Distress Inks 'Tumbled Glass' & 'Pumice Stone'
Colouring - Intense Watercolour pencils
Embellishments: Mixed sequins, acetate & gems.

Thanks for looking!
