A blog devoted to the cards I make in my tiny upstairs space. When my sister stays there, she calls it an "artist's garret". I'm not an artist, but am an enthusiastic cardmaker - hence the title "Cardmaker's Garret".

Love in a Shaker

A card for the Paper Players challenge "Love is in the Air".


I decided to make a shaker card as I haven't done one for ages.

I die cut the heart shape from white shimmer cs and using acetate, fun foam, and double sided tape, created a shaker with it. I filled it with red, silver, and white sequins and some tiny red cs hearts that came out of a die cut I'll be using on another project.

The sentiment is die cut from red cs.

Here's a close-up of the shaker part to show all the lovely things inside it:


Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope to be back with at least one or two other Valentines soon as a friend asked me to make 4 or 5 Valentine cards for her.








Supplies:
Paper - white shimmer cs, red cs
Size - A2
Accessories - Love word die, heart die, acetate, fun foam, tiny red cs hearts from a previous die cut, red, silver, and white sequins
