More shakers

After making the shaker card for the Crafter's Companion challenge last week I decided to make a few more.

This first one is again an 8inch square card. I've used pearlescent pink card for the background and pearlescent blue card for the matting and circle on top of the acetate on the shaker element. The stars backing paper is from the Cute companions Cd.

The Christmas tree stencil, from Dreamweaver, has been embossed and then inked with Brilliance ink. The silver stars inside are from my stash and the snowflakes are from Nesties and have been cut in the same blue and pink card with the addition of a glittered silver snowflake, all held together with a pale pink brad.

The sentiment is from Lakeland.

The stars and sentiment look pink but it must just be the reflection from the pearlescent card.

These next two are A5 in size and use the same stencil embossed and coloured with Brilliance inks in purple and pink. I've used glittered snowflakes from Craftime and peel-off sentiments. On one I have used silver paper and the other pink pearlescent paper for the backer. The circles are pink pearlescent card or purple matt card. Silver trees and stars under the acetate are from my stash.

Dotty organza ribbon from Ribbon Rasis and lace complete the cards.

I bought the stencil with the idea of using it with glitter on double sided sticky sheets but haven't got round to that - maybe next year!

Crafter's Companion #11

As usual this time on the Crafter's Companion blog challenge there is a sketch but also a few requirements.

The card must have the colours blue/silver/white and some ribbon as well as a shaker element.

Now the colours and ribbon were ok but i've never tried a shaker card before. This is my second attempt as the first wasn't quite right somehow.I've used a large 8inch square white card and covered it with matt silver paper. The star panels are from the Cute Companions Cd and have been layered with the same silver paper. Silver ribbon overlaid with white lace with a touch of silver has been placed over these.

The shaker element uses an image from the Popcorn Christmas Cd printed onto card and layered onto the same 2 backing papers. The top of the shaker is acetate held in place with a ring of blue pearlescent card. Inside are holographic silver snowflakes.

A peel-off greeting and snowflake cut with Nesties topped with a white brad complete the card, which is for my Grandson's first Christmas.

I just have to make 2 girly versions now for my Grandaughters!

All glittered up!

I've been glueing and glittering for the past few days and here are a few of the results.







The foiled acetate images are Betti Buttons from the Pinflair people.


I've put ultra fine glitter on the back of them. They have been mounted onto either glitter board, holographic card or backing papers from the Christmas Glow set of Forever Friends papers by Docrafts. I've also used a snowflake embossing folder in my Cuttlebug. Some have a simple peel-off greeting.
All are set onto 6inch square white cards.
