Hello Shaker Card

Well hello there bloggy buddies. :) Lookie! I made a shaker card...shocker! ;) I have gotten super inspired by the Insider class at OnlineCardClasses this week...and also wanted to play along in the Little Tangles color challenge. 

I really love these colors together. Soft and pretty. I used the Stitched 3x4 Journal Die from MyCreativeTime to create my window through the card. I filled my shaker window with Lemon, Cotton Candy, and Crystal Clear sequins from Neat and Tangled. I stamped the "hello" from the Piles Of Smiles  set from MyCreativeTime with charcoal hero arts shadow ink. I stamped the "sending you sunshine" from the Everyday Sayings set from Hero Arts under it with Soft Granite shadow ink. 

When the card is closed, the sequins cover the little sun surprise on the inside of the card. :) That sun is from an old MarketStreetStamps set that is no longer available, sorry. 

See that sun peeking out at ya? tee hee. The face on the sun is from the July 2013 set from PeachyKeenStamps. 

When you open the card, the sequins rain down like sparkles from Heaven. HA! I ♥ sequins. 

I hope you're having a FABULOUS weekend!

Eat Cake

Hello! I made this to play along in the Little Tangles Challenge. The theme is cake to celebrate Neat And Tangled's first birthday. Yay! Sooooo in love with their sequins! The greeting is a free digi on their challenge blog. I sized it and printed it out. Then I wanted to make a sequin cake to go with the greeting. I was going to use my cricut or silhouette, but decided it would be hard to perfectly line up the already printed greeting so.......... I just eyeballed it and cut out some "cake" rectangles with my trimmer and exacto knife. Super easy. And then the fun/relaxing part for me, gluing the sequins. I use glossy accents to glue them down. A little dab and a sequin...repeat. :)
