New Baby Boy Shaker Card using SU! Baby's First Dies.

Hello there,

So, just recently my DH became a Grandaddy and I, a Step Nanna! Obviously, we are all thrilled and excited for the new addition to the family and of course I needed to make a special card! I always love a shaker card (as you probably know) but I especially love to make something thats just a bit more special when it's likely the card will be kept forever, as is usual when a baby is born ;-)

So, I made this card to celebrate the arrival of baby Jackson...

 For a video tutorial sharing step-by-step how to make a Shaker Card please pop over HERE and for a video with my tips for using the new Foam Strips (especially with Baby's First Framelits) please pop over HERE
And if you have any questions please do ask ;-) I used some Serene Scenery paper for behind the windows, probably not the first DSP you'd think of for a baby card but those teeny-tiny spots are perfect, don't you think?

 I have a couple of these lovely (retired) wooden sentiments left still and they are just perfect for a baby card.

 I used Layering Love inside but stamped it off for a subtle look. Again, I think this sentiment is simply perfect for any new parents and their baby :-)

 And one final photo for today.

Well, the new Mummy liked the card but what do you think? Thanks for looking today,

Back soon with more!

Baby Boy Shaker Card using Stampin' Up's Baby's First Framelits and the new Foam Strips!

Hello there,

Today I have the baby boy shaker card that actually inspired Saturday's video! You can see that HERE if you missed it :-)

It all started when the lovely couple over the road had a baby boy and I decided I just *had to* make a shaker card using the fab-u-lous new foam strips that are coming soon to make it, take a look...

 This gorgeous chevron ribbon is retired but I still have just a little bit left ;-)

 These wooden words (called 'Expressions Natural Elements') are retiring at the end of the month too :-(

 Bootie shakers - Lol!!

 and baby vest shaker

 And I managed to fit it into a standard envelope too !

 Top view. I was really, really happy with how this card turned out!

 Here it is with the wrapped gift we gave to them.
You might recognise it from #washiwednesday last week ;-)

Well, I hope you liked todays card and remember to check out my Top Tips video for making any shaker card using these Foam Strips - and you will be able to order them in a little over a week from now, eep! :-)

Baby Girl and Birthday Shaker Cards with a video sharing tips for the new Foam Strips by SU!

Hello and happy Saturday to you.!

I have not one, but two gorgeous shaker cards to share with you today so it's kind of a long-ish post  with plenty of pictures and the video? That's right near the end ;-)

As you know I do love a good shaker card and so when I saw the new foam strips for shaker cards in the upcoming catalogue I was soooo excited! Anyway, I needed to make a baby card and realised there was a bit more to it than just sticking them on - not a lot, but there are a few tips that will help. So, I made a video!

Let me share the cards with you first, this one is made with the kit we received at Telford On Stage.

It's a Melon Mambo frame and I teamed that with Melon, Smoky Slate and Dapper Denim stamping.

 The  background was stamped with the new set Confetti Celebrations

 and I used Dapper Denim for the sentiment inside

 and a top view :-)

 So, in the video I share how to make a shaker card with a large, solid shaped opening (above) and one with lots of small shapes. I *may* have got carried away with the amount of small sections on this card... but it does look super cute right?
I used the adorable Baby's First framelits...

 With a mixture of sequins and beads for this cards shaky bits and the Love Blossoms DSP stack for the paper behind the openings. All explained in the video.

 Aww, I just need someone to have a baby girl now ;-)

Right, how about seeing this video.

These fab strips will be available on the 1st June in the new catalogue, I can't wait to share it all with you!!

Well, I hope you have enjoyed todays video and I'll be back tomorrow with another shaker card - the  inspiration behind this video!
