Shakin' just for fun!


Here's a card I made for our niece's birthday. One thing about a shaker card - no one can resist picking it up and giving it a shake!

I kept it quite simple, focusing on her name (spelled with My Stamp Box Tall Solids Alpha in some of my favourite colours!).

I stamped the happy birthday after I put the card together, which was a bit of a mistake - you can see that the bottom half of 'birthday' was not as well supported by foam tape as the rest of the stamp. I always have to learn these things the hard way!

  6. Such a cute and bright, happy shaker card Ardyth! I love those letters in the happy colors. I too have to always learn the hard way when stamping after I've used the foam tape! lol Glad to know that I'm not alone. Hugs, Brenda
