way to go!

Hey everybody, happy weekend – I hope you’re having a good one! We are SO enjoying the cooler weather that’s finally arrived here! I’ve popped in today to share a congrats shaker card for Keep It Simple featuring our embossed squares dies that were released back in May, I believe. This offset stacked squares design was a fun one that yields some great dimension. And, of course, who doesn’t love a shaker?!

I cut a square card base from Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with four square layering panels which I die cut from 80# Solar White, teal, lime and lemon paper from our Back To Basics 6×9 Collection Packs using four of the embossed squares dies.

I created a shaker from the smallest square, adding Metallic Crush Rivers Edge and 2mm Beads Clear Caviar Glass from our Sprinkles line. I added a sentiment from the Back To Basics Congratulations Sentiments stamp set, along with teal and white enamel dots, which completed the card front.

I die cut two square layering panels for the inside from the 80# Solar White and teal paper using two of the embossed squares dies. I stamped another sentiment from the Congratulations Sentiments stamp set, and this card was complete.

Crazy cat lady and crafting junkie! We care for 15 feline rescues and just added a Forkie pup to the tribe (Frenchie + Yorkie)! I’m addicted to stamping and love making cards, ATCs, and 3-D projects (especially paper shoes, paper purses and mini albums). I also dabble in mixed media, art journaling, altered art and custom jewelry. If you’re looking for me, I’ll either be in my studio or getting some kitty or puppy lovins! ;)
