A daily papercrafting blog which features my handmade cards showcasing Creative Expression's products including my own line of cutting dies and embossing folders, Cosmic Shimmer, Ranger and more which use various techniques and ideas to hopefully inspire the creativity in you.
Hello bloggers! Who doesn't love a shaker card? I just had to create one with this collection. I started with a piece of white card and used the outer die from the Love die to cut an aperture into the bottom of the card. Next I embossed it with the Heart To Heart embossing folder for texture. I cut a piece of clear acetate and glued it to the back of the aperture opening. Next, I added mounting foam to the back of it and all the way around the back of the aperture area too. I cut another piece of white card with a piece of red card on top of it. That gave me the word Love in red, but with the word embossed on to the piece of white card. I glued the letters into place on the white card, then lines it up with the opening and sealed all of it but a small section. I added some Crystal Hexagons in through the opening, then sealed it up completely. I cut a couple of the Heart Flourishes in white and added them from the Love upwards and a smaller swirl at the end of the word as accents. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 1/4" x 8 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
