Hi Peeps! How’s it going? Are things coming together for everyone?
We got our tree up! But she is totally ornament free still LOL Maybe tomorrow!
I have made 3 Christmas cards! I am really on top of things over here!
OK, so for anything goes, I made a fun shaker card!
I started out with the Greetings of the Seasons Die set, I love this set! I was stoked it fit in the Momenta circle dome!
I used the Momenta shaker die to make some filler in red, white and gold. Then I used these cute jars I got from Joann’s!
They are so cute and so fun, I was just happy pouring them in! {insert a big FACE PALM HERE}
I cut out the back in olive and in the Watercolor Winter Paper Pack.
I stuck the dome down after pouring it in a pile LOL I suggest using a pattern paper that can go any direction and not be crooked! {error #1} LOL
I got the frame lined up and glued it down a tiny bit at a time so I could keep sliding it to be perfect.
And boy, was that smart! So I could lift it right off and pry the plastic dome up with my pokey tool and dump out 3/4ths of the filler so you could read the sentiment {error #2} LOL
Luckily I had called in a prescription refill so I squeezed it a little bit and dumped it right in the lid real quick and sealed it all back together real fast like nothing ever happened! LOL
Now you can read it! All the glue is dried and everything shakes right off. The gems help scrape it clean so it doesn’t look like a hot mess.
Now, it’s just my opinion but I won’t be sad when these plastic domes are gone. I don’t really like them as much a a flat piece of acetate. To each their own, but once I use up the ones that came with the dies, I won’t repurchase them. I like the foam tape/acetate! This giant thing will have to go in a gift bag! That is also fine! But I do like an option of mailing a card LOL
Here comes error #3! I was facetiming my sister making this card. We were having so much fun and suddenly I forgot all about the blog post and stopped taking pictures! Somebody put a fork in me! I might be done LOL I am going in so many directions, nothing seems to be going perfect LOL Today I made my husband some bacon and burnt it so bad the house still smells LOL
I grabbed some trees from Let Heaven and Nature Sing and embossed them. They ended up being to tall so I just trimmed off the trunks and they are perfect!
I grabbed The New Nice Front and Center stamps because the Go ahead shake it. Is PERFECT for all shaker cards! You will be seeing a lot more of this stamp! I die cut the bow and added some stickles and called it finished! I apologize for the abrupt stop in step by step photos, and that awful glare!
Here it is straight on and you can even see the stickles better!
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you will come join the challenge on our FaceBook page! See you next week! 🙂
