OWH Memorial Day Blog Hop



GOOD MORNING HOPPERS!!!!!!!  Welcome to my blog.  Since I created this blog -- let's say 2 years ago, I have had plans to update and enhance it - I still have those plans, and many, many others! 

I enjoy trying new methods and techniques, and decided to try a shaker card for the hop.  Prior to making it, I gave methodology a great deal of thought.  I watched tutorial videos, and picked the simplest one to make my favorite!  After the 1st die cut I realized my mistake and I was off and running.  I know where my 2nd mistake was, but the card was together, and hopefully nobody looking at it online can tell!  But I know!  (Those little blue hearts would stick to "my mistake" if I shook it!)

Here is my red, white and blue "I Love You" shaker card, with blue sequin hearts in the shaker.



I hope you enjoyed your visit to my blog.  To head back to the main blog hop page, you this link:                                          http://wp.me/p2kUr6-4o6

  2. I could see right away it was a shaker box. I haven't made one for so long. You need to make some more. They would be a big hit for the troops.

  5. I cannot make shaker cards (they always leak), and YAY for posting your "mistakes" anyway. Isn't crafting FUN?!?!?!

  6. Very cute! I saw a tutorial on shaker cards that said you should glue a few sequins (or whatever your shake items are) on the background anyway so they are not all settled at the bottom. So your mistake isn't a mistake after all, if you do shake it. This is one of those cards that you should make multiples of.

  9. Hi Ronni.. what a fun shaker card.. love it! ~ Pam

    **the gold paper I used for the star on my card is actually poster board that I purchased from Hobby Lobby for around $1.80 a sheet. It's poster board size. It punches beautifully.

  63. Great Shaker card! I'd never know there were mistakes made if you hadn't told on yourself. Think about what you learned and make some more while you still remember what you did and what you shouldn't do the next time.
