A hearts shaker Card for Melissa’s Fab Friday Challenge and Simon Says Stamp’s Monday Challenge

I combined Ink to Paper’s Melissa’s Fab Friday Challenge of creating a heart card with Simon Says Stamp’s Monday Challenge to create a shaker card. I find shaker cards hard work so I look for ways to make it easy like using dies to create the shaker frame. I know it’s an old die, but Papertrey’s Cover Plate: Heart die works great for creating heart windows to use in a shaker card. I used a few of the die-cut hearts on a goodie bag to use to give some candy with the card. Supplies are listed in the photo caption. Happy crafting!

The card is made using Papertrey’s Cover Plate: Heart die to cut the card front cardstock and fun foam. I used red cardstock as the background for the back of the shaker card so attached it to the prepared fun foam layer and added some gold seed beads to each heart window. I then heat embossed the sentiment from Papertrey’s Falling Leaves stamp set in gold embossing powder on the prepared card front. I thought the sentiment falling for you goes perfect with a shaker card. I then wound gold twine around the card and assembled the card, carefully aligning the heart windows. The cute goodie bag was made using Papertrey’s Favor It Box #3 Die.

MFT Card Challenge: Sketch 314

Sorry I’ve been MIA.  I was coaching 2 soccer teams this fall for my boys and then started working full time right before Thanksgiving.  I haven’t quite caught my breath yet but I’m getting close.  I’m so ready for some crafting time.  I sat down to play with My Favorite Things current sketch, Sketch 314, and ended up playing with some embossing folders and die-cut leaves I had sitting out from my projects last fall.  I figured it was a good way of tidied up my space.  I love this sketch and will likely be making some more cards with it.  I have a fondness for focal points resting in that lower left corner.  Anyway, hope 2017 is starting off well for you and that it brings you much happiness!  Card supplies are listed below.

Supplies:

• Stamps: Falling Leaves (Papertrey)
• Cardstock:  Dark Chocolate (Papertrey); Watercolor (Ranger)
• Ink: Versamark
