Bubbles Birthday Card

I made this card for my sister's 30th birthday. Whenever I want to create something special for a beloved family member or friend I think of shaker cards because these are the cards you don't receive very often in life. I just love how well my new 'Bubbles' stamp from Create A Smile Stamps works with sequins. I will have to create something similar again very soon!

Supplies: Bubbles cling stamp by 'Create A Smile Stamps', Inline Alpha Die Set by 'Altenew', Balloons Elle-ments by 'Avery Elle', Tim Holz Distress Ink Pads by 'Ranger'

Shaker Card With A Touch Of Gold

Back in March I joined the Challenge Card Swap group on Facebook and took part in the very first challenge. My swap partner is a lovely card maker from Abu Dhabi. She challenged me to create a shaker card with a touch of gold. This is what I came up with:

You Amaze Me

With Valentine's Day coming up, I thought it would be fun to share some love and friendship inspired cards over here this month. This first card features my beloved floral stamps from Create A Smile Stamps. I die cut a circle out of the large sunflower to create a shaker card.

MERRY XMAS

This is the last Christmas card I'm sharing over here this year and it is also my favorite one. I used distress inks on watercolor paper and splashed a little bit of water as well as violet gouache all over the card for a splatter effect. I die cut the letters from some silver glitter paper and filled the shaker area with lots of pretty sequins.

Christmas Shaker Card

For this card I used some Christmas patterned paper and ran it through my die cutting machine with an Avery Elle border die to create the scalloped edges. I also die cut a circle and filled the shaker area with lots of shiny red and gold sequins.

Invitation To Coffee

Since I love love love coffee, you will see a lot of coffee-inspired cards on this blog. This invitation can either be given to one friend or it can be "mass-produced" for a special occasion. The German sentiment "Einladung zum" says "Invitation to". Shaker cards usually take a little longer to make but they are worth the effort and will put a smile on someone's face.

Supplies: Dotted Borders Elle-ments by Avery Elle, Stamps by Gummiapan and Klartext-Stempel, Copic markers and Distress Ink.
