I had a special card to make for a special Grandmother this weekend. Her 91 year old body is suddenly acting its age, and she could use a smile or two. I decided it was time to leap into the world of shaker cards for this one!
I love finally digging into my acetate packaging stash from all those cricut cartridges I have collected! ;) I used the Lawn Fawn Into the Woods Pattern Papers and Sequin Mix from last fall, Get Well Soon stamps and dies, You're a Hoot stamps and dies, and my freebie "sending hugs" sentient. The jar dies are from PS, and the inks, CS, and Glitter Paper are all Close to My Heart.
I think the little leaves in the shaker jar are the perfect addition for this season. The little band-aids were the perfect size to add! Yay!
Paper-piecing is just what the doctor ordered to dress up this little birdie...
I used my thin foam tape for this one, but will try the thicker version next time to get a little more "shake" to my shaker! ;) Either way, I am pretty sure Grandma will be smiling soon!
OMG your Shaker Card is totally out of bounds awesome!!
