Hi everyone!  This weeks Designer Creative Challenge on the Craftin Desert Diva blog is Shake it Up, which means shaker cards!  I absolutely love shaker cards.  They aren’t difficult to make and are so fun.

For my card, I’ve used the tree from the Outdoor Camping digital stamp set.   I colored the digital stamp with Copic markers.  I then made a frame using stitched rectangle dies from my stash.  I couldn’t find a piece of colored or patterned paper that I liked.  So I broke out my Distress Oxide inks and inked up the frame.  I stamped the So Grateful sentiment from the Simply Said stamp set with vesafine ink, covered it with chesnut embossing powder, and heat set it.

Head over to the Craftin Desert Diva blog to see what the design team has created and some create tips for making shaker cards.  One tip I have is to use a powder tool on the edges of the foam adhesive so that shaker bits don’t stick to the adhesive.

Thanks for stopping by!
