Sequin Shaker birthday card + Pretty Pink Posh Blog Hop!

Hi All!

Today I am participating in "Cutting Edge Blog Hop" hosted by Pretty Pink Posh, for those who love die cutting... and I am one of them..

Here is my card I made for the hop. I made a birthday Shaker card using my favorite dies (Spellbinders Label 8) to make shaped card. Those who follow me would know I love the shape so much!:

A view from the side :

I locked the sequins using acetate and double sided foam tape. So when you shake the card, the sequins move around. I am sure kids will love it. Like I did! I had a difficult time yesterday deciding on the pattern papers to choose.. finally I picked my choice.. all papers are from different paper pads of different brands.. I matched the MS cupcake chipboard with the dotted PP from MME..

Here is the list of supplies I used :

1. Cutting Dies : Spellbinders Label 8 nesting dies for card base and sequin frame. PTI Birthday Die
2. Cupcake Chipboard : MS Modern Festive Collection
3. Papttern Papers : Mix of My Mind's Eye
4. Sequin : From Stash

Thanks for stopping by!

Play with pattern papers!

Hi All!


*** Check out my Giveaway on my FaceBook Page. Closing on 08/03/2014 at 12 PM EST ****

I am back again with another post to show a set of 3 cards I made yesterday from a single piece of 12x12 pattern paper. Since the pattern paper was for creating layouts, I was hoarding it for so long as I don't do scrapbooks and the birdies and colors were so cute! So I whipped up an idea of making 3 cards altogether as I cannot let such a beautiful paper go waste!

Here is the set of cards :

Now individual pics :
1. Tall card : I had a pretty tough time in aligning the birdies with negative die cut area and sticking it to the base of the card as the birdies were spread across the pattern paper. I guess I managed somehow.

2. Shaped card: Those who follow my crafting, they would know by now that It's my favorite shape. On the patter paper is from Recollections - Fabulous Girl paper pad. The little birdie die cut sentiment is from K&Company. Also added some enamel dots to enhance the color palette I used here and did some faux stitching to outline the design.

3. Heart Shaped Easel Card: 

How can I separate 2 birdies sitting together!!! I had to use them together, A heart shaped card was just perfect for these birdies and they looked so much in love. :D Added a "tweet" sentiment too!

And now a picture of the PP I used to make these cards. Sorry for the bad picture, I clicked the photo when I already started with the cards.

I am not able to recall Brand names for the card stock and enamel dots used here. Dies are from Spellbinders except the mini cloud which is from Greeting Farm Company.

Challenges Entered :

1. Simon Say Stamps - Anything Goes

2. Try it on Tuesday - Things with wings

The sisterhood of crafters - Dies and punches

I hope you liked these cards. I just loved making these.

Thank for visiting,

Have a lovely day!

I made a matching bag to keep the card in..

Lots of die cutting was done to make this card..

These flowers are from Itsy Bitsy.. Papers are DCWV... Distressed the circumference with distress ink and did some faux stictching to enhance the look..
