Above The Clouds - Shaker Card

By
I have a card to show you today that I absolutely loved making - take a look


It's a Shaker Card using Above the Clouds. Over the years Stampin' Up have had some lovely balloon stamps but I do believe that this one is the best!

Pool Party card stock was used for the background and the clouds were stamped and embossed with white embossing powder. I cut a frame onto which I stamped my sentiment. I then added 3D foam tape to my background to fit my card stock frame. I think a couple of layers of tape is a good idea as you want enough room for your shaky bits to - well - shake!!
Acetate was placed on the back of the frame and wiped over with an Embossing Buddy to remove the static. Teeny tiny balls were added into the foam tape frame and then the acetate frame was placed on top.
The frame was then decorated with the balloons - stamped using last year's In Colours: Blueberry Bushel, Lovely Lipstick, Grapefruit Grove, Call Me Clover and Pineapple Punch. They were cut out and attached with 3D foam pads.


I am entering this card into the 

Simon Says Monday Challenge

BRIGHT AND CHEERFUL

So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!! Here is a card that has been made using the Sweet Gingerbread set - I love gingerbread houses and the stamps and matching dies are really cute. I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx
