Did you see it?

 Did you manage to watch my video from the 24 hours of cards?

Here is some photos of my card, using a great combination of Balmy Blue, Pear Pizzazz and Basic White.  

Yes, its a shaker card!  As you've seen, I love a shaker element on a card and this tutorial shows how to create one using dies to cut out your frame.  

The dimensional strips made this an easy shaker to put together, the perfect width.  

And all the tiny elements inside were cut using dies from the Sweet As A Peach Suite.  

Don't you just love the touch of silver  the foil cardstock and sequins adds?  

Hope you can have a go at creating something similar - be sure to tag me in so I can see too.

Happy Stamping,

Let's Get Hopping #44

Welcome to The Let's Get Hopping Blog Hop Round 44 where our theme is to create a project for your favourite occasion.  

Growing up, birthdays were always a big deal.  On your day, you chose where the family went, what we did and what we ate.  There was always a big cake (chosen from the Australian Women's Weekly Birthday Cake Book)!  I've tried, as a parent, to replicate that experience for my own children hoping that one day, their memories are as wonderful as mine are.  

So its only fitting to say that I love to create cards for birthdays.  Everyone deserves to feel special on their day!  I've used the 'You're a Peach' suite for this card, mainly because the colours are so happy and it makes the prettiest birthday card.  I also love the font they have used for the sentiments.  

I used Stitched Rectangle dies to cut out the basic white panel and stamped using Bashful Blue, both the sentiment and the tiny floral images that come in the stamp set.
