Well, it has been awhile since my last post. I am still struggling with Chronic Migraines and Chronic Daily Pain. I was inspired to create a Flip-Fold Shaker Card for the Flying Unicorn's August Shake It Baby - Shaker Card Challenge.  I so love shaker cards! I hope you like it!

Products used:  I used Prima Romance Novel Collection and Prima Sherwood Rose - Truffle. I used a sentiment stamp from the Butterflies and Sunbeams stamp set by Unity Stamp Company as the background for the shaker element. I also added a bit of lace, some tiny mini roses from I Am Roses, and some colorful microbeads & mini sequins.

My First Canvas! I'm so excited at how it turned out! This is a 5 x 7 flat canvas.  I used the Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz Flower Garden Stamp Set, Tim Holtz Distress Inks: Mustard Seed, Wild Honey, Vintage Photo, Bundled Sage, Mowed Lawn, Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, and Faded Jeans.

I made a mini album using Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps

Here are a few cards I've made. Hope you like them!

StampNation Birthday Bash

Here's my card for the challenge. I used Little B Birthday Dies with several themed paper pads that I had. I also used Stampin' Up! Stamps for the present and birthday hat images, which I stamped in color and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I tried to capture the texture of the embossing, but it didn't show up well. For the final touch, I added a few sequins for "confetti"! I had a lot of fun making this card! I hope you like it.
