Father's Day Shaker

I decided to have a bit of a play today to make a shaker card. Instead of regular 'shaker contents' I used some yummy sprinkles to match in with my ombre theme.


Card ingredients include:

Stamps: Kaszazz Happy Father's Day & Gentlemen's Business
Papers:  Cardstock, transparent film
Dies: Spellbinders Standard Circles
Other: Gathered Twigs Distress ink, washi tape, chocolate sprinkles.

Thanks Teacher

My daughters teacher finished up for the year and she asked me to make a card for her to give the next day so I had limited time to think about it and put something together. This is what I came up with on short notice.

Paper Smooches Smarty Pants

Card ingredients include:

Stamps: Paper Smooches 'Smarty Pants'
Papers: Sugar & Spice 'School Days' paper pack, cardstock

Crows Signature Book

My son had a meet and greet with the players of his favourite Aussie Rules team, the Adelaide Crows. I wanted to make him a keepsake that he could use to collect all of their signatures so I used a couple of chipboard album covers, that way the players would have something solid to write on. I covered them with papers in the team colours and finished it off with this cute Lala Land stamp.

Celebrate Life

My husband requested a sympathy card, I never like making sympathy cards. I came across this sentiment tag that read 'Life should not only be lived, it should be Celebrated' in the paper pack and thought it was lovely so I set about creating my card around that.
