Sometimes adults need some fun for their birthdays! (Like when you start feeling your age? Just ask me how I know this...insert frowny face!)
Anyway, I wanted to send a little fun to my brother-in-law for his birthday, and here's what he's getting in the mail:
This shaker card should create a little laugh.
Using a
clear envelope, cut to the size of the "polaroid print" in the
On Film Framelits, I added some punched stars (using the star punch from the
Merry Mini's set--still available!). These were punched from
Coastal Cabana, Island Indigo, Pistachio Pudding and Smoky Slate card stock--nice manly colors, yes? The edges of my envelope were sealed with thin strips of
Sticky Strip, and the envelope was adhered to the framelit.
I used some of my favorite
Washi Tape (Retro Fresh This and That) to help hold the frame in place.
The card base is Smoky Slate, cut to 4-1/4" x 11" and scored at 5-1/2". To this I added a layer of Coastal Cabana, and then a layer of the
Kaleidoscope Designer Series Paper.
My sentiment, from
Sweet Essentials, was stamped in
Smoky Slate on
Whisper White, and a little arrow was cut from the Bermuda Bay DSP (also from the Kaleidoscope collection) and popped up on
Dimensionals.
There's even a "celebration" inside:
"Celebrate" is from the
Best of Birthdays collection (available until 3/31!) and the Washi Tape is from the
This and That Epic Day set.
Wouldn't you like to have a little fun creating one of these shaker cards for a friend? All supplies used can be ordered in my on-line store,
here.
Let's get creating!
