I had to share the beautiful flowers one of our daughters
had delivered on Mother's Day,
such a surprise and they are gorgeous!
It says stars right! Well, there is another star on the front you just cant see it,
there is also one on the inside of this card.
Good morning! Hoping everyone had a wonderful Mother’s Day. Mine was wonderful!
I found some time this morning to make a card for Merry Monday, the theme is stars .
I stamped the Nativity from Serendipity Stamps in Stampin Up Red. I used two layers of foam for this shaker card. (I cant seem to get them from sticking to the sides of the foam tape)
Take Care
Stamps; Nativity and For Unto You Serendipity Stamps, Stampabilities
Dies; Lil Inkers Design, Stars and Stitched Rectangles
Sequins; Pretty Pink Posh
Love the star window looking on the manger scene Marybeth! Perfect, serence Christmas image.
ReplyDeleteI dip a Qtip in talcum powder and run that along the edge of my foam tape to stop the shaker pieces from adhering to the sides (taking care not to touch the top of the tape that I need to adhere the shaker box closed).
Thank you so much Jacquie for the much needed tip!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a gorgeous card. I love how the image is peeking through behind the star.
ReplyDeleteThe perfect little star inside your shaker star Marybeth!! This is beautiful, LOVE IT!!

Pretty!! Beautiful flowers. Hope you had a happy Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteAmazing card. Such a great idea to make it a shaker card. I love Jacquie's tip, too. I have the same problem with the sequins sticking to the side of the foam. I'm glad you had such a wonderful Mother's Day and got such pretty flowers.
ReplyDeleteThis is STUNNING! What a sweet little image, just a precious card all round! Thanks for playing with the Merry Monday challenge! You could try putting a little baby powder or run an embossing buddy on the inside of your shaker to keep the sequins from sticking!
ReplyDeleteLOVE how you can see the image and that was a great shaker card tip I read in your comments! LOVE LOVE LOVE your new blog photo! So GLAM! And Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, love red and white. And the way you featured the Christ child! Those daughters, just love them! Can't wait to try the baby powder trick on my next shaker!
