Beau Chateau Shaker Frame

I think this is my favorite designer paper in our entire catalog ;)  2 designs from Beau Chateau designer series paper paired with Marina Mist and Soft Suede...easy to choose since they are predominant in the design.  Other colors used in the package is pink pirouette.  And since this card needed just a little "POP" I went ahead and added it for flair.  I like the "vintagey" feel of this card.  I know that's probably not a real word...but I'll use it anyways :) 

Just a quick side view of the shaker frame in action...and a closer picture of my filler.

Our Basic Pearls have a great feel inside the shaker frame.  Precious little balls rolling around....

A little tip for you.....if you snip 2 pearls off the single connected row for borders, you can easily fold them together and the self adhesive pearls will form your little elegant ball.  A completely simple and easy embellishment right at your fingertips!  And they are small enough to fit in a shaker frame.

Frightful Sight Shaker Frame

Another Halloween Share! 

So far, this is the Hubs favorite...every time I ask him what card I should make he keeps picking this one :)

Some fun with the Frightful Sight Halloween DSP, Spider Web embossing folder, my Spooky Bingo Bits and, Dazzling details, of course!!  I know the Dazzling Details is hard to photograph...but trust me it looks soo cute on my little mummy and goblin guy :)

I added a twist or two to this shaker frame. Literally!!

When I went to Regionals back in August, Carrie Cudney showed us how to make these cute little paper swirls. You take a strip of 3/4" by 12" paper and using our new Simply Scored Tool, score the strip length wise at 1/4" and 5/8". Then fold your two edges in to get the clean lines inside and out. Wrap it around a pencil...and it will curl up nicely for you. Now you can either glue them down to your card...or I dropped it into a shaker frame! 

I used a 2" circle of sticky paper to adhere it to the base. And cover the rest in black glitter.  I dropped a couple of silver beads inside to mimic those old party favor games we always got as kids!
 

One last trick to share....don't limit yourself to the teeny, tiniest of shaker items...just stack those circles up and sky's the limit to what you can fit inside.  I tried making my strip of paper smaller, but as you can imagine trying to fold a thin piece of paper is already quite difficult...but I think this worked out quite nicely.

Domestic Goddess Shaker Frame

Isn't this just the sweetest little card...I really like combining 2 different designer prints like this and the colors are soo fun together.  For some reason I am always partial to plaids....

I was trying to think outside the box for things to put inside the shaker frames and I thought cute little bows would be interesting...and I used our Baker's Twine to tie these little guys into bows.  And boy are they LITTLE!  It didn't take too long to tie these...since I only needed a few (and I did it while supervising my boys homework time - - better than TV)  I don't think I'd pick these to make in bulk, though, that's for SURE :)  The one drawback...they don't actually shake.  I assume the baker's twine has too much static and it holds them right in place.  It totally looks like I glued them in place, but I didn't.  They are just suspended right in mid air.

Next time, I might try our 1/8th inch taffeta ribbon.  The delicate ribbon will be cute.

A little side view...just in case you didn't believe me that it's another shaker card!  HA!!  Remember I have a lot of shaker cards to share...I had fun for a whole week focusing on just shaker frames and mica flakes!

Spooky Peek A Boo

My first Halloween card of the the season!  I love Halloween decorations....and, of course, cards, too!

This one paired 2 of my favorite new items...Spooky Bingo Bits and the Peek A Boo die :)

Don't miss our new Dazzling Details...Look closely, I used them to highlight my spooky little guys.

Can you guess how I got the "edgy" look of my black layer?  I used the Top Note Die and after passing it thru once the regular way, I rotated my paper a quarter turn and ran it thru again...

And here's a quick pic of the new Peek A Boo Frames Die in from the Holiday Mini Catalog.  I also ran the frame thru the spider web embossing folder, too.  The die has 5 different shapes and sizes of "peek a boo" frames...it is sooo cute and has tons of potential. 

Check back tomorrow for another Shaker Frame Card...just thought I'd take a little detour with an extra post this week since I have so many Shaker Cards to share!

Pursuit of Happiness Shaker Frame

I have another shaker frame card for you!

I combined Poppy Parade and Daffodil Delight with Not Quite Navy and Sahara Sand.  Once I chose my base color I ran it thru the Big Shot using the Scallop Square Bigz Die.  My cardstock was folded in half and positioned on the die so that one edge would remain uncut.  This produced this fun shaped square card.

I used a texture plate for the criss crossed lines and used the tiny hole punch to allow the poppy parade to show thru.

This shaker frame is filled with our Itty Bitty Buttons and I used coordinating Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack to attach the colored cardstock underneath.

The clear buttons give it a very 3-d effect that is quite fun in person :)

Best Friends Forever

A quick and simple card from last week's Stamp A Stack....

I paired Cajun Craze with Peach Parfait.  An unlikely combination...so I thought.  Then I actually set them next to each other and thought they really complimented each other well! 

To get the "splatter" effect, I simply set the paper down on the Cajun Craze ink pad and tapped in various areas with the tip of my finger ;)  Ultra hard...I know....but try it and you'll get the hang of it in no time ;P
