Hi everyone, I have some exciting news to start the new year off with.
Nancy from Seize the Birthday has asked me to join her design team!
I was thrilled to be asked as I love making birthday cards and am excited to be playing along with such an inspirational team!
The first theme for this year is confetti,
or as always you can play along with the no toppings option of anything goes as long as it's a birthday theme.

This is my first shaker card!
I thought punching out tiny stars from scraps of cardstock would make great confetti. There's not a lot of room for shaking but for a first attempt I'm pretty happy lol!
I diecut a circle from a piece of card slightly smaller than my base card, then embossed it with a stars folder. The sentiment circle fits snugly around the opening and then I glued a circle of acetate to the back of the opening.
Used lots of thick foam tape to create a wall to hold in the confetti and to make the top layer sit evenly on the base.
I'm linking up to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge where the theme is something new. Sheker cards are a new technique for me.
It's try something new at the Work it Wednesday Challenge.
Supplies:
Cuttlebug stars embossing folder; star punch from stash; happy birthday circle die bought from a craft fair; Spellbinders circle die; scraps of silver glitter and coloured card.
Thanks for visiting,

Congratulations Cathy on the DT. Its a super festive card and the stars are fabulous confetti.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Cathy for becoming a member of the Seize the Birthday Design Team, and your first card is beautiful with the shaker element, and love the circular sentiment which frames it perfectly. Sorry I have not been to comment recently, but I had such a lot on in December that I ran out of time for visits, but less distractions now..lol. I hope you had a good Christmas and wishing you a very Happy, Healthy and Creative 2019. x
ReplyDeleteSo happy to have you join this team. You will find it a lot of fun. I have met Nancy and Joann, but I am afraid that a trip to Australia is not in the near future. I will have to be satisfied with your amazing cards. Of course, if you should come here, we could make arrangements to meet.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on joining the STB DT, Cathy! What a fabulous first shaker ... great texture and dimension ... and such fun, sparkly star confetti ... so celebratory! Bonne Année! Hugs, Anita :)
