I placed sequins in the Clear Envelopes cut and taped, close to edge. Very simple, then I added my foam tape.
As you can see I tried the turkey first, it overlapped too much.
Good morning!
Weekends are always so busy for me with my large family, not too much craft time. One reason I love MIM... it's usually the first card I make for the week just for fun!
We had three granddaughters stay with us for a few days. So much fun , swimming, crafting ( for them) S’mores by the fire pit . We even had a baby bird fly into the house when we were going out to look at the bright moon. After lots screams and the baby bird flying around, we were able to safely get the baby bird outside.
I liked Lisa’s stitched frame so I did the same.
Thanks for stopping by.

Marybeth this turned out SO WELL!! I like YOUR double stitched frame, so cute. Sounds like an event with the baby bird, glad it all turned out well!
ReplyDeleteWell aren't you the clever one to use a snowshoe to make a medallion! Absolutely beautiful to complete it as a shaker as well! Wonderful, Marybeth!
ReplyDeleteHonestly couldn't tell what the stamp was you used for the rainbow wheel until I checked out your list of stamps! Too clever! And equally love the shaker and frame! Enjoy every minute with you precious grandchildren, they'll be back in school before you know. Hugs!

Ooh, I love the stitched frame! I'm just going to have to try one of those shaker cards!
ReplyDeletevery pretty design!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shaker card. I tried to do one with one of my cards today that is for my nephew's birthday. I was going to try your method but the envelope I had was too big for my Happy die. Darn, and I was not successful with the other way. I think I was supposed to pop it up and I just used tape and it wouldn't shake so I started over and forgot it.
ReplyDeleteLove the softness the line image gives, and your shaker is ideal!
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable. I love that you used the snow shoe to make the medallion. Genius! Really great take on the MIM challenge!!

ReplyDeleteMarybeth...you are just a genius! I love how you added your sequins, so clever and so much easier. Can't wait to give this a try. Really makes for a sweet card.
ReplyDeleteAwesomeness, Marybeth! Great bird story, I have had a few fly into my house too...not a pretty sight and not a pretty house when they are done flying and pooping all over!!

it's like a flower - pretty card. we've had a bird in the house once too- luckily my husband knew to place a cloth over it and then released it calmly outside!
ReplyDeleteThis is the prettiest card. I love all the colors and matching sequins. How fun to spend time with the granddaughters and doing all the things they like to do. I love the raised die cuts you have made on your previous cards. Such a cool technique and beautiful results.
ReplyDeleteWow! Wow! Wow! This is so amazing Marybeth!! I loved seeing how you put this together! I might have to try a shaker card one of these days!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, Marybeth! Love the shaker and the great stamp you used for your 'rainbow'. The stitched frame looks awesome!

ReplyDeleteLooks like you enjoyed yourselves tremendously! So sweet those babybirds! :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd your grandchildren are lucky to have a grandmother like you!

LOOOOVE this!!!
ReplyDeleteFab card! Love your medallion with the FAB colors and sequins!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful card! I love it.
ReplyDeleteI'm still a sucker for a shaker card and it was so smart to put the sprinkles in a bag so you don't have to add a ton of beads, gems and sequins, or even any weight for mailing! Beautiful!
