Cardztv Mailbox Smiles Design Team Challenge #4

Welcome to the 4th Challenge for

the Cardztv Mailbox Smiles Team!

I'm excited to bring you one of my 

favorite card designs - an awesome SHAKER card!

I sort of have a thing for things that sparkle

and when shaker cards started to make an appearance

I was all over the process.

I  like to shop on Amazon and one

evening while browsing a "die" popped up as a

suggestion from something I put in my cart.  I loved

the die, but I loved the price even more!  It

was like $3.99!  That is a steal compared

to what I normally pay for dies so I was 

curious and I wanted to see if the die actually

delivered a good strong cut.

Guess what???  It did!

Here's my shaker card:

I used the Cardztv Mixed Messages sentiment

which fit perfectly in the center window of the die cut.

I actually used the die 6 times and glued 5 of them

together for the depth to allow my shaker bits to move

around.  I took the top die and glued a piece of acetate

on for the window portion.  I had fun picking out some

shaker bits to match the color scheme and then I

placed the top die cut.

I love how it turned out and I'm pretty sure

whoever I decide to send to will certainly

"get their happy on"!

Thanks for stopping by!

Make sure and join the challenge and post

your creation on Cardztv blog page.

Happy crafting!
