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,

Making the most of white ribbon...

 Hello again!  I had a few people ask how I managed to get the ribbon to match my card yesterday.

Let me share my tip : 

Use your Stampin blends to colour the white ribbon.  It means you will always have the correct shade to match your project!

I hold my brush pen tip against the ribbon and my finger.  BUT you can also use plastic or an acrylic block to sit under the ribbon as you colour.  If the shade is too light after it dries, give it another colouring.  EASY!

I would love for you to give this idea a go and send me a link. 

Happy creating,

Rachael
