Happy Wednesday everyone! It's time for
another fun challenge at Repeat Impressions. If there is a 5th
Wednesday in the month, the challenge is my favorite: Anything Goes! Make any
card and link it up for a chance at some great
Repeat Impressions rubber! For all the details on what you can win and to see
the other Rock Stars cards, please visit our blog.
I am fascinated with shaker cards especially
when there are more than one shaker. I used the smallest square die in Repeat Impression’s Flip Die Set to cut the three diagonal openings in the card front.
Then I laid the card front on a craft sheet on an electric griddle and melted
some embossing powders around the edge for a fun look. I stamped “Dream Big”
and then flipped the piece over on my Scor-buddy. I applied some acetate over
the square holes and created individual shakers with two layers of mounting
tape around each square. I added some colored
sequins and beads to each window. Here is a picture of how that looked, and
also one with the shaker elements all shook up:
I find that attaching the front to a shaker
card is easiest if it is the same size as the shaker layer and I push both
layers into the left upper corner of the Scor-buddy (or any scoring tool) and
attach them lining it up that way.
Today is my last day
on the Repeat Impression’s design team. I have been a member of the Rock Stars
for over five years now. Wendy gave me my first chance to be on a design team
and I have enjoyed every minute of designing with her wonderful stamps. But it
is time for a change and I decided I needed to free up some time to pursue some
other adventures. I thank Wendy and Bill and Repeat Impressions for everything
and hope to be a part of some blog hops occasionally with my friends on this
wonderful team.
