Another Candle

Hi everyone,

It’s challenge time with the “Crazies” over on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog.  Maryann Einam  our challenge hostess for the month finishes off the month with one last challenge.

According to the days of the year calendar, today is cake day. So for our challenge this week please add some cake to your card.

For my card this week I decided to pull out an older cake stamp I have in my stash, it is fun to revisit the older stuff every now and then. I used the cake to create a shaker card which I made with the help of my Fuse tool I got last Christmas.

As you probably can also see by the photo above besides being a shaker card it is also a Tri Shutter card using the die from Tattered Lace. I varied the cuts on the first part of the card so I could have a solid panel for the front of the card to fit my shaker onto.

Here is a look at my card when it is closed.

Don't forget to check out the rest of the “Crazies” cards over on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog and also their individual blogs for more details.

Smile, Giggle or Laugh

It's our The Ink Spot Design Team Challenge time again today over on The Ink Spot Blog.   Our hostess this week is Kelly.

For our challenge this week Kelly has given us the theme .... Animal Antics!  Any CHF/Riley stamp using an animal - extra credit for funny cards! ;)

For my card this week I have used Riley and Company's Smiling Burt and the Funny Bones sentiment "If It Makes You Smile". 

I decided this week to try another Shaker Card using my new Fuse Tool. I have a lot better success with it this time round. I decided to create a see through shaker window so you could see the inside message from the front of the card. 

Here is the inside of my card with the Funny Bones sentiment "If It Makes You Smile".  I used the Elizabeth Craft Designs Stitched Squares for the layering and die cutting the square to hold my shaker pocket.

Lighthouse Shaker

 

Hi everyone,

Today I am sharing a Shaker Card which features a few more of the new dies recently released by Elizabeth Craft Designs. For this card I used the new Lighthouse die set along with the Fitted & Stitched Oval Die sets and the Chains 1 die set!

To create the shaker card I used my new Fuse Tool which I received for Christmas. It took a little while for me to be able to successfully fuse the plastic pocket, but I think that was mainly because the pocket was too thick (although I am sure it was one someone said they had used), But once I found another pocket I had success!

Expect to see more shaker cards in 2016!
