Haven’t posted in a while…..

It's been a busy few weeks and I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while!  I've been getting ready for my annual RUBBER sale and it's been busy, busy!  It starts on Thursday, August 11th at 8:00 a.m.  at my home – if you live in the area, please feel free to come and see what I have for sale.  I have over 500 Stampin' Up retired stamp sets, plus lots of paper and embellishments.  Plus some punches, big shot dies – oh too much to list here, and everything is priced to sell.  Email me if you don't know where I live!!I literally have outgrown my storage space and need to move this "stuff"

I want to share some of the projects I have been sharing in classes recently.  One of my local customers, Arlyn, had a workshop in early July and she wanted to REDO some projects we had made previously to refresh!  So……we did!

First was a shaker card – I'm LOVING the new Foam Adhesive Strips that make shaker cards SO easy!  

Here's the one we made in class

and a couple more versions

Shaker cards are SO fun and really quite simple to do!

Here's a little "tutorial" on how to make the shaker portion

Start by cutting out the shape – I used the Layering Squares Framelits and cut a 3" square with the scallop square framelit

I then cut a piece of Window Sheet 2 7/8" x 2 7/8"

Adhere the window sheet to the framelit 

Add the Foam Adhesive Strips around the edges of the window sheet

Add your sequins or whatever you want to have "shake"

Take off the cover from the foam adhesive strips and adhere  piece of Whisper White on which you have stamped the sentiment that measures 3" x 3"

DONE with the shaker part

The rest of the card is Whisper White Thick Card Base and the designer series paper

Add your shaker piece to the front and some ribbon 

It's THAT simple!
