Bonjour Full Shaker

Today I'm participating in the fun October Challenge over at Waffle Flower - this month the theme is Shaker Cards so here I am sharing another edge to edge shaker using the darling Waffle Flower Bonjour stamp set! (This was the first Waffle Flower stamp set I ever bought and it's such a fave!)

For my card I wanted a purple night time sky so I stamped and then masked my images and ink blended my background with Wilted Violet and Shaded Lilac Distress Oxides. I coloured my images with Zig Clean Colour Real Brush Markers.

To create a flat shaker I wrapped some clear packaging around my panel and adhered three sides closed, leaving one side open to fill with shaker bits - which include purple and silver sequins, stars and confetti. Once filled and sealed I adhered this whole panel to a card base and voila! SO EASY!!

I looove these full shakers and really enjoyed creating this little French scene - Oh how I'm dreaming of being in Paris again! 

Pop Up Slider Card

 

I made a DIY Pop Up Slider Birthday Card this week using some new patterned paper. Let me tell you, patterned papers are my jam!! I have boxes full of gorgeous pads of paper that I hardly use *sighs* I had so much fun with this, my first interactive card!

It turned out to be super easy to construct (I watched a few YouTube tutorials) - it looks a bit complicated, especially if you're doing it without the aid of specialty dies, but honestly all you need is a paper trimmer and your trusty craft knife!

I settled for these floral papers from DCWV Love & Grow. I used the Mama Elephant Big Happy Birthday as my main attraction, cut from silver glitter card and added extra sentiments from Birthday Messages and Scripty B'day for the inside and pull up flaps! I also made a matching yellow envelope!
