I don't know why I HAD to have this die cut by Cuttlebug....I guess I am drawn to anything cute! So the day I got it I had to play. I haven't made a shaker box in years and decided it would be fun to make one again. I used the negative space from my oval scallop punch. I cuttlebugged the transparency in the background (IF you click on it you might see it....it is pretty subtle) I filled it with iridescent sequins for the snow. The paper is from Paper Salon which I sewed....yes, I AM on quite the sewing kick these days.....not clothes....just cards! I stamped the sentiment on white twill, added a black polka dot photo corner....which by the way, is a the back side of Martha Stewart's Halloween paper pack! I thought it needed a little black to balance the black in the penguin. And last but not least, I used some OLD acrylic snowflakes, tied some white floss, and it was done.

This is so cute, love the stitching and paper mix, hate to say it but my cuttlebug is rather dusty.

ReplyDeleteI don't know how I missed this one, but it is very cute! I tried one of these shaker cards and.....well lets just say yours turned out better than mine. :o)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this idea - I have a ton of cute metallic confetti that's larger, and I wanted to use it in shaker cards but couldn't figure out how to without completely obscuring the image behind...duh - put the image in front. Very cool.
