Hopping With A Puzzle & Shaker

Hello and welcome to the April Serendipity Stamps  Blog Hop.
I am excited to share my shaker card and anther Puzzle! I have made so many and the kids take them home as fast as I make them. 


I love the way this one turned out. I used Memento felt pens on my stamp then spritzed a bit  of water on the stamp to soften the image. I also used the negative of the Stitched Duo 3 from PPP sold at Serendipity Stamps, for my window.



This puzzle is so fun and easy to make. I place the dies on the fun foam, cut it, then glue stamped card stock images over the cut out foam pieces.  I adhere with glue, a piece of card stock to the back of the foam and that's it!  Its fun for the kids because the pieces push in so nicely. Makes for a great card too. Just send it in one of the clear B59-A9 Envelope from Serendipity Stamps .

    Such a beautiful card! Love the spritzed ink flowers; they are soft and delicate just like you wanted them to be. Perfect colors, perfect sequin mix for the shaker part, and I LOVE the negative die use. Seriously gorgeous card Marybeth. And the puzzle... I can just picture little ones busy with it on a Sunday morning in church. Great 'quiet' toy! Love it. Might have to make one for one of the little girls in church myself...Thanks for sharing this idea!! Have a great weekend. Bev

    thanks for the puzzle idea. Hadn't seen this before. I'm always trying to think of gifts for the neighbor kids at Halloween.
    This would be a fun item to stick in their goodie bags.
    The card is wonderful too.
    thanks for sharing.

    So perfect--love the shake and your puzzle is amazing. What type of glue do you use to adhere the cardstock to the fun foam, or is it double sided adhesive?
