Shake Your Love

It's a Fab Friday!  Fabulous indeed for many reasons.

One reason is all of the Tiddly goodness on the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog.  Here's the card I made for the occasion.  I told you that I have had many wedding cards to make.  I decided to shake things up a bit by making a shaker card, LOL.

This card features the digital image of "Wedding Bells" from Tiddly Inks.   I printed it onto X-Press It cardstock.  I also printed a mask of the image as well.  By masking the X-Press it image, I then sponged some Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide for the background.  I then stamped an old Hero Arts swirly image with Hero Arts White Unicorn pigment ink on top of the Distress Oxide.  The results are very faint.  I also stamped the swirly image around the edges of the X-Press It cardstock with the Distress Oxide.  I removed the mask, and then colored the image with Copic markers.  I added a pink mix of Doodlebug sequins and made a shaker card.  I stamped the sentiment from Rubber Stampede onto the acetate with Hero Arts White pigment ink and heat embossed. 

Another reason this is a Fab Friday is I am off and I have a great weekend planned.  Woot!

Thanks for visiting my blog today!

Sandman Shaker Card

A sandman on the beach.  Ingenious or crazy, I'm not sure. 

You can read all about this card on today's blog post for A Jillian Vance Design.  It was made with the awesome Sam E Snowman shaker die. 

And yes, that's real sand from my favorite beach.  Ah, the shores of North Carolina.  Take me there!

National Championship Shaker Card

On week ago today, my beloved Buckeye beat Oregon to become undisputed National Championships.  I am still basking in the glow, as you can imagine.  And truth be told, probably will be for some time.  It is hard to win a National Championship.  There have been MANY talented teams that have not.  Everything has to be lined up right, and this year it was magically so for us.

To celebrate, I made this shaker card using lots and lots of A Jillian Vance Design supplies.  AJVD feeds my Buckeye soul, LOL.  You can read all about how I made this card on the A Jillian Vance Design blog, right here.

This card was inspired by the yellow confetti last Monday night, as I truly thought it should have been scarlet and gray.  It looked like the fine folks at AT&T Stadium was thinking the Ducks were going to win, as was the rest of the world.  These scarlet and gray sequins from AJVD make me very happy.

I printed the photo at Walgreens.  No, I wasn't fortunate enough to be at the game.  And golly, wouldn't even be in the position to take such an awesome photo.  Special thanks to Eleven Warriors for the mighty fine shot.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog today, and THANK YOU SO MUCH BUCKEYES FOR AN AMAZING SEASON!

Snowman Shaker Card

Confession...I'm starting to really get into making shaker cards.  Couldn't be any easier to do, thanks to the Sam E. Snowman Shaker Die Set from A Jillian Vance Design.  Today's Monday, so head on ever to the AJVD Blog to read how very simple it is to make a snowman shaker.  Hmm...next year's Christmas cards, perhaps?

Keep stopping by my blog...I've got some time off, so you know what that means...MORE TIME FOR CARD MAKING!  Yay!
