My friend sent me a CTMH stamp set, so I decided to make her a card. I've never made a shaker card before, so I thought I'd give it a go with this small card. It turned out ok, but I think I used too many sequin behind the shaker window. Oh well, live and learn. It still turned out super cute for my first shaker!
I used some of the hexagon stamps from the set she sent me and I used one from the SU! hexagon set.
I think it came out really cute. but I put wayyyyy too many sequin in my shaker. LOL
see, isn't that a lot of sequin? I think so because I had to really shake it to get the sequin to reveal the message.
I put these sentiments on the inside. I love it!
It took me about an hour to make this card, because I was trying to figure out how to actually make the shaker...how to get the clear plastic on the card front without glue showing through or getting smeared everywhere and showing through. Then I had to figure out how to get the sequin to stay in while I added the back of the card to it. whewww it was a hard time figuring that out, too. But, I finally got it and I was super happy. Now that I know how to do them, I'll be making a lot more. I've been hoarding usable plastic. LOL hubby thinks I'm weird, but whatever!
Ok, well that's it for this card. I hope you like it. Please come back for more cards, I'll be posting throughout the day.
Keep on Craftin'
